nuclear weapons have been lost, sold

person (or hacker) to change the
world forever.

IMPACTS………………..
Isolation
•Isolation means lack of contact with other
people in normal daily living, such as, the
workplace, with friends and in social activities.
We isolate ourselves by walking around in our
own little world, listening to our iPods or staring
at the screen of the latest mobile device even
when we are around other people.
• Studies have shown that people who are
socially isolated will live shorter lives.
Depression:
• Technology creates the perfect recipe for
depression with the lack of human contact,
overeating and lack of exercise.
•Some people could cure their depression by
living a healthier lifestyle. 9
