Have you noticed people spending most of their times in front of their computer or TV? Or parents who are fed up with their children playing video games the whole day? Today, technology addiction has become a serious problem in our society.
Modern Era
Nowadays, people are getting addicted to modern gadgets so that they forget that there is life around them. We become lazier in performing daily activities and face problems when trying to communicate face-to-face.
Human intelligence has evolved greatly and led to the emergence of new gadgets and technology. Due to the fact that there is a large availability of smartphones, computers and laptops, the number of devices that can been connected to the Internet got higher than ever.
It has been showed that 40% of people communicate on the web rather than face-to-face. And this figure is a dreadful one.
People are gifted with brain to think and choose right paths in life. Unfortunately, people are living unhealthy lives without even knowing about it.
Our work is 10 minutes away on foot, but we take a transport. We spend the whole weekends in front of our gadgets instead of going out and enjoy the great weather and allowing the sun to enrich our body. We can watch the TV for hours explaining that it is because we got bored. Children spend most of their precious time playing video games or chatting on social networks.
Of course, in a way, these modern day gadgets make our life easier, but still, we shouldn’t use them at the cost of our health. It would be great if people use all sorts of gadgets for informational purposes only.
Modern Day Slavery
The addiction to modern technology can be compared to slavery. People unthinkingly have become the slaves of computers and various gadgets. The modern technology became the most important part of many. They don’t live their life to the fullest due to the availability of such an enormous amount of gadgets. It seems like people have forgot the way they lived before this technology boom.
Today we see more and more parents who try to make their children spend more time with them and friends instead of playing video games almost all the time. And this is a real problem. It is extremely difficult to make a child stop playing. Very often it leads to serious arguments and even fights, because both children and parents lose control.
Technology Addiction Destroys Relationships
Everyone remembers those nights when we were talking with our mothers before going to bed. What do we see now? Children are sitting in front of their computers until their mother force them go to bed. They don’t have conversations anymore. The only thing they are interested in is a new video game, a new friend on a social network, or a new gadget.
When people are busy with their gadgets, they don’t want anybody to disturb them. In this way, they become nervous, bad-tempered; they avoid face-to-face communication, they just become isolated.
Technology addiction is an extremely serious issue that should be properly addressed. Children should use the gadgets moderately in order to prevent them from that day when they will interact with each other using the technology only.
