All things in this world has a positive and negative effects. Technology is one example of it. Technology can be good in terms of having fast communication, fast researching and many more but too much of it maybe result to negative because technology separates us in the society we live in. example in the past socializing with others is to talk to them physically now by social media and etc etc. This is only the beginning since we are still far from the high tech world.

There are no adverse effects from the development of technology. It is we ourselves invent such effects. When it comes to children we just behind the times and therefore our children do not fit into our templates. If this applies to the environment that people just save on the construction of sewage treatment plants, etc.

Technology is not always a good thing.

One example is with the children.
In the old days, children used to play outside with their friends.
Now majority of them are just staring at their iPads.



I agree in your ideas about the negative effects of technology to the children . As a kid they just need first to have more time in reading books and watching educated movies, they need first to know more about the good morals and right conduct . Ipads and tablets hindering the kids to socialize with the other kids.

But it depends on their parents,  if the parents know how to discipline their child and letting to know their limits in gadgets no problem with that. For me the most negative effects of technology to me is its give me so much head pain, and sometimes I can't sleep.

The advancement of technology makes us life more comfortable and convenient but despite all of these, addiction to it may lead to numbers of negative effects to us socially, mentally and physically.

1) Social isolation and lack of interpersonal communication

2) Depression

3) Poor Sleep Habits

4) Create Illusions and delusions

5) Neck pain, head pain and poor eyesight


What you have given are the same with what I think the negative effects of technology. Yes, it is a big help for us nowadays but overusing it can really bring us negatives. Some children right now are introverts. They are social media network active but they do not talk to other people in a face to face manner. What you see or what you read on the internet can also lead you to depression since it has been a big issue up until now.

"Laziness" that's the number one answer for me. Your body also need some physical activity in order to be fit but, if you let technologies do it for yourself then face the consequences.

It's not technology's fault that people sit on their asses instead of working out. Laziness is a person's own fault because whether or not it's convenient for them with technology, if a person is lazy and doesn't do anything about it, then its no use. Technology can push forward society's advancement and that's always a good thing. The negative effects of technology are dependent on people and can be negated if people will only do something about it.
People became lazy because they are paying more attention on technology rather than on physical activity. Technology is a diversion from what people should really do. For example, the natural way of sweeping the floor is to used broom that's why your body is really worked out, but with the used of vacuum cleaner you only exert less effort to swept the floor and your body did not even reach the minimum rate of work it needs daily.

Latest news that excessive use of gadgets can cause seizure on a person, a lot of cases like that happened in the Philippines and majority are kids.
Parents shouldn't allowed their child use gadgets for a very long time.
Children should be engaged in reading books and playing with other children.
Those cases could lead to more problematic things that can happen to your child like being exposed to violent videos and gore videos that children shouldn't watch at an early age, because they cannot be exposed to that unless you want them to be like that and that's not good, you are probably raising kids to be criminals or something. They should be somewhat mature in an early stage so you can make them understand what's really happening in the world and not confusing them to what's not real.

People nowadays spent too much time to their devices, including kids in this generation, one of the negative effects is instead having a time to your family or friends to bond, you will just sit in one corner and scroll up and down on your phone. We love technology, it can do everything for us easily, but somehow it screwed!!
Kids need to learn some social and physical skills, it's a problem that they spend hours with tech.

As we incorporate technology in our life it leads benefits to us in our daily living.But too much using of technology has negative effect. Children can be one of the victims, it can change the way a child think.less physical activity and they gets obise that can affect their behavior and grades.Technology also can put risk of privacy and safety of their life.Children who uses technology may share information that can put them into danger, like the online sex crimes against children.Sex offenders get information about the victim’s preferences through the use of social media or networks.

Technology have a positive and negative effect in our lives. Technology makes our life easier. I like your example in negative effect of technology, you give empathy to what children needs to do and not focus to their ipads and tablets. As a child they need to learn more about how to socialize and play with some other children. They need to learn first about the good moral and not focus in playing games to their tablets and ipads.

The negative effect of modern technology will only be if they are misused. With the right approach from technology, only the regimentation of life for a modern person.

One obvious thing is that technology really breaks distance in the way that those who are near are getting far from each other because of technology. Example of this is when saying 'I love you' to you mom or dad, you manage to tell it to the whole world using internet but you can't say it to them in person. That's one of the negative effects of technology.

I agree with you that it really makes distance between those who were close and makes closer those who are in distance.  We can have friends with someone miles away but can never have a smile or a small talk with our neighbors.  We know someone far far away but hard to tell who is the new family in your neighborhood.  We are not afraid to tell what is on our mind when we are in front of computers but so shy to tell it personally to person.  We are like that because we have this idea that they are not seeing you so you can say whatever you want.

Despite of positive effects of technology, there's also a lot of negative effects. One example is the children is becoming more lazy than the children before, because they always rely to the advancement of the technology. Like for example the mobile phone, the children before they are using text books to research and do their assignments, while the children in this era don't need the books any more because every information is in the internet already and the negative of it is not every information in the internet if true, accurate and reliable. It's more advisable if we still use textbooks.

Best of all the danger of technology was shown in the "Black Mirror". After each episode I felt so empty inside and  fear for the future...
Yes the future could be frightening because we are heading into a dictatorship if the state continues with mass surveillance

Agree with you sort of future is chaos to us sort of someone is invading us or any catastrophic that will happen in the future.  Though if we are talking now the negative aspects of technology is more on the people will not socialize and they just holding their phone or pc and not going it . There are ton of negatives and also it has positive

People become obese, with depression, pretend to be what they are not, lack social ties, become addicted to technology

In forums, social networks people pretend to be what they are not... they become actors  and have lack of empathy

Could not agree with you more. Specially when they hide behind anonymity.
