The real effect of technology can be both positive and negative. On the positive side, technology can improve efficiency and productivity, increase access to information and communication, and promote innovation and progress. However, it can also have negative effects such as increased social isolation, decreased face-to-face communication, and potential loss of jobs due to automation. Additionally, technology can also have negative impacts on the environment, such as e-waste and high energy consumption. It is important to consider the potential effects of technology and implement measures to mitigate any negative impacts.
Over use of social media and mobile devices have been linked to eyestrain, difficulty focusing on other task, and sometimes depression. To children who overuse technology maybe more likely experience issues including poor sleep quality, low creativity and aggressive behaviour.
The use of technology has its advantages and disadvantages. It allows us to work online, enjoy entertainment, and more. However, excessive use, such as on social media, can lead to negative effects like comparison with others and fear of missing out.
