Technology has positive and negative effects in our life | Technology's Effects

  Technologies and personal safety

In my opinion, technology has positive as well as negative effects. It is up to you how you use the technology. Technology has made our life easier as it was not before. It has reduced the distances between the people. The world has become a global village.

We can get information about anything sitting any place using the internet and can communicate all over the world as well. Information can be shared securely and quickly with anyone.

It has become easy for the students to learn and enhance their knowledge. Integration of technology into the classrooms enhanced the students learning process. Technology is playing an important role in every aspect of life. In the last few years, technology has changed the world's face. Living standards, business, shopping, entertainment, transport, etc have changed due to technology. Strategies of business have evolved and got better day by day just because of technology.  Online shopping is famous nowadays. People do not want to go market and shop to shop to find stuff. E-commerce has changed the way of shopping and trading.

Technology also has negative effects. Unauthorize access can harm our private data and information. We are losing privacy because we are giving our information to the sites like social media.

Lack of sleep is also the major negative effect of spending a lot of time on social media and other sites.

According to Medical News Today(25-Feb-2020), “Social media and mobile devices may lead to psychological and physical issues, such as eyestrain and difficulty focusing on important tasks. They may also contribute to more serious health conditions, such as depression. The overuse of technology may have a more significant impact on developing children and teenagers.”

Following are the Positive and Negative effects of technology:

Positive effects

1. Fast and easy communication

2. Accuracy and efficiency in work

3. More access to educate yourself

4. Well aware of current affairs(national and international)

5. Sell and buy easy process

6. Easy life day by day

These are some of the positive effects of technology.

Negative effects

1. Privacy issues

2. Serious health issues(headache, back pain, eyes weakness, etc)

3. No proper sleep( lake of sleep)

4. Obesity

5. Intimacy

6. Cyber security issues

These are some of the negative effects of technology.

Finally, no doubt technology has positive effects which we can not deny but it also has negative effects.
