NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON OUR DAILY LIFE

1. Reduced physical activity: 

A third negative effect of ICT is that users may adopt a more sedentary lifestyle.
This can lead to health problems such as obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Many
countries have workplace regulations to prevent problems such as repetitive strain injury or
eyestrain, but lack of physical exercise is rarely addressed as a specific health hazard.

2. Reduced personal interaction: 

Being able to work from home is usually regarded as being a positive effect of using
ICT, but there can be negative aspects as well. Most people need some form of social
interaction in their daily lives and if they do not get the chance to meet and talk with other
people they may feel isolated and unhappy.

3.FAKE NEWS: 

Too many user of ICT tools can cause too many impormation that can be lead into
fake news.
There was a time that fake news is spreading all over my newsfeed. Like there is no
classes because of jeepney strike and cancellation due to storm. As a matter of fact we
cant rely always in ICT when it comes to news.

negatively for, both, the bully and the victim. It is said that cyber bullying is a serious
worldwide issue and that it needs to be resolved.

and make money for it.
