What are some of the downsides or negative effects of technology?
There are many downsides to technology. Even if there are good things to. Some of the downsides are:
People can be easily distracted. For example; if you let a kid use a computer in school they can play games on it and not listen to whoever is talking.
Some people will sit on a couch all day and play video games or go on the computer which may keep them from doing other things.
Ipod's or MP3 players can damage a persons hearing. If they turn up the headphones too loud it can possibly be damaging.
It can cause people to be constantly working. They can be reached at home by cell phones, text, email or many other devices.
Some people get addicted to certain technology.
If someone is trying to figure something out and they have used a computer all their life that might be all they think about to use.
Why do we not usually think about the negative impact of tech?
Because everyone thinks the technology will always help us. Even when they know it is damaging.
