Information technologies have contributed to the

increase in the concentration of access to
information, decision – making and control. They
have accelerated the crisis in employment through
labor substitution and have intensified the
competitive processes in both economic and social
spheres. Their development has sustained the
belief that the urban crisis can be resolved through
new information and communication
infrastructures.

Technology has taken over the lives of many

people who spend way too much time on
social media just trying to see how many
likes and comments they have on their
Facebook or Instagram posts. People think of
social media when someone is looking at
their phone, or when someone mentions
technology. They forget all the amazing
things other than social media that
technology has brought to us.

 DISADVANTAGES OF TECHNOLOGY ON
PRIVACY, SECURITY, AND INFORMATION
• Too much data is being circulated, and not all
companies take full responsibility of handing user data –
this leads to many data breaches and privacy issues
• Anonymity, split personalities, and fake personas
• Technology and access to information in a central
location has given rise to new kinds of crimes and
terrorism
 RISKS OF TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATED WITH
LIFESTYLES AND SOCIAL BEHAVIORS
• Reliance on technology has increased social anxiety,
where people are more comfortable communicating
with others through messages and chat apps, but not
physically
• Too much content, gaming, and indoor activities have
impacted how people live their lives – in turn leading to
high obesity rates, more health issues, and new kinds of
addictions
• Over dependence on gadgets
 RISKS OF TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATED WITH
LIFESTYLES AND SOCIAL BEHAVIORS
• Our attention spans are dropping – the average attention span of
humans recently dropped to 8 sec from 12 sec in the last few years.
Companies like Facebook and Snapchat argue that a 2 sec/3 sec
video watch time should be considered a “valid” view because
attention spans on their platforms are very less. Isn’t that scary?
• Family distancing
• Social isolation and loneliness
• Laziness and lives of convenience
• Technology is wiping out contentment
• Virtual experiences are taking preference of real physical
experiences – with technology advancements, we’re moving in an
era where we will forget to decipher between what’s real and
NEGATIVE IMPACT OF
TECHNOLOGY ON WORK LIFE Page 19

1. A large part of the workforce 2. With people carrying their work

laptops home, and checking work
got replaced with new
emails at home, while sleeping,
technology causing
when waking up, in the bathroom,
unemployment in some cases
there is gap left between family
(computers was a term that and work life
referred to job titles that people
possessed)

3. Too much information but no

knowledge, people browse through
thousands of news items everyday,
but none of it is retained to a point
where it becomes knowledge
