POSSIBLE NEGATIVE

IMPACTS OF
SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY in the SOCIETY

01 SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY
Science encompasses the
systematic study of the structure
and behavior of the physical and
natural world through
observation and experiment, and
technology is the application of
scientific knowledge for practical
purposes.

TECHNOLOGY
02 AFFECTS OUR
SLEEPING HABITS
Technology has had a massive effect on the
way we sleep. Many of us stay up way too late
texting or looking throughout social media
with our friends. Our sleep has become
poorer as a result of our regular practice of
these practices. Our brain's generation of
melatonin, the sleep hormone, is disrupted
by late-night device use, making it more
difficult to achieve a decent night's sleep.

TECHNOLOGY LEAVES
03 US FEELING ISOLATED.
Our dependence on our electronics
might often make us feel lonely. A
severe absence of interpersonal
interaction can even lead to
depression. When we spend the
majority of our time interacting with
others online, we may feel cut off from
the rest of mankind. Our internet pals
aren't often real-life friends.

TECHNOLOGY LEADS TO
04 NECK PAIN AND BAD
POSTURE.
When you're hunched over your phone, it's
difficult to sit up straight. As a result of not
sitting up straight, many of us experience back
and neck pain. When we glance at our phones,
we also don't hold them at eye level. Instead, we
usually lean over and examine it with our heads
bowed. All of this contributes to bad posture,
neck and back pain, and the odd occurrence of
wrist pain as a result of our regular use of our
electronics.

05 CYBER BULLYING
Let's face it: people are considerably more
courageous when they hide behind an online
persona. You're considerably more likely to say
something over the internet that you'd never say
in person. Because of the anonymity given by the
Internet, cyberbullying has become a major
concern. It's easier to say hurtful things to
someone when you don't think you'll be held
accountable.In the worst-case scenarios, some of
the things people post online could be fatal.
Suicides among teenagers are on the rise, and
online bullying may be a contributing factor.

TECHNOLOGY CAN
06 CAUSE EYE AND EAR
PROBLEMS
Anyone who spends their days seated in front of a
computer understands how mentally and physically
draining it can be. You may find that your eyes grow
hazy and that you have difficulty focusing at the end
of the day as a result of staring at a screen all day.
Music and video games don't assist our hearing
because we frequently listen to things too loudly.
Hearing loss has been linked to the use of earphones
in several research
 THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGY ON CHILDREN'S
PHYSICAL HEALTH ARE ARGUABLY THE EASIEST TO
QUANTIFY OF ALL THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF
TECHNOLOGY. METABOLIC ILLNESSES DUE BY SEDENTARY
LIFESTYLES FOSTERED BY TECHNOLOGY USAGE HAVE
BEEN THE MOST WIDELY CITED HEALTH EFFECT OF
TECHNOLOGY USE. SITTING WITH A DIGITAL GADGET NOT
ONLY REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
NEEDED TO KEEP FIT, BUT IT ALSO ENCOURAGES
INCREASED SNACKING, ALL OF WHICH LEADS TO OBESITY,
AMONG OTHER PROBLEMS. CONSTANT SITTING CAUSES
BACK AND NECK PROBLEMS, WHICH HAVE NOW BEEN
AGGRAVATED BY CONSTANTLY BENDING INTO THE
HANDHELD GADGET, RESULTING IN AN ALTOGETHER NEW
CONDITION — CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME.

TECHNOLOGY ADDICTION IS A MAJOR MENTAL HEALTH

PROBLEM THAT IS GENERATED BY THE USE/ABUSE OF
DIGITAL TOOLS, AND IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO HARM A
CHILD'S HEALTH, SOCIAL LIFE, AND FAMILIAL TIES.
CHRONIC SMARTPHONE STRESS IS A RELATIVELY
RECENT CONDITION ASSOCIATED WITH DIGITAL USAGE,
IN WHICH CONTINUAL NOTIFICATIONS AND
INTERACTIONS WITH DIGITAL TOOLS CREATE NEW
STRESS-FEAR MEMORY PATHWAYS IN THE BRAIN. UNDER
SUCH FLIGHT-FIGHT SCENARIOS, THE REGION OF OUR
BRAINS THAT NORMALLY DEALS WITH HIGHER-LEVEL
THINKING SHUTS DOWN, COSTING US MENTAL CAPACITY
AND TIME.
