Technology has advanced in every aspect and will
continue to advance because technology has been a great help to the government,
scientists, and students. One
of the example of technology that we can see nowadays is gadgets. There is a
variety of gadgets that we can easily get at the market. Technology have its
own good and bad effect to people but people often confused whether the gadget
is a friend or foe because everything
has its usefulness and also its negative aspect on over-exposed to the devices
and gadgets.
One perfect example for all the students and
teenagers today is that curiosity with their minds that they want to know, and
upon knowing and discovering it they never know their limitations in using
gadgets whenever they want to know something. This can cause a major social
problem to teenagers because their action on internet is out of control. We also
need to bear in mind that the
level of technology cannot be blamed for the mishaps of humanity, or the
destruction of our civilization, species, or environment. The fault does not
lie within the tool, but within the user. Humanity is solely to blame for the
problems that their irresponsible use of technology has caused.
Next, the dependence of persons in technology
arise from years to years because of their dependence they become sluggard. Example, if a student
should do his assignment, before, he would go in libraries and search but now,
that technology in gadgets has raised and computers were introduced, we get it
to the computer and with that we get dependent and we go and be lazy. So, it
makes the entropy of the universe more destroyed.
There were also side effects which lead to disastrous end which one of the big example is the side effect done by the computer. Even if it makes simpler work but what does it do, it has radiation that can lead to visual problems.

There is no question that
cell phones have become a staple of modern society. Even young children use
them, much to the chagrin of their parents or teachers. A common belief is that
cell phones can cause adverse effects like brain cancer. According to
the World Health Organization, mobile phones are a serious problem when
driving, increasing reaction time between 0.5 and 1.5 seconds. This short span
of time can make a world of difference when avoiding a collision. They further
state drivers on a phone have trouble judging speed and staying in their lanes.
Text slang, such as
"ur" instead of "you're" is commonly used through cell
phone texting. However, a recent study shows that kids and teens are actually
letting these obscure abbreviations seep into their normal writing. A recent
study by Pew Internet in 2008 revealed that 50 percent of students use informal
slang in their assignments caused the English language and sentence structure
is being twisted, negatively affecting students' learning.
The problem comes when people use the gadgets as a
reason to procrastinating the task that they should have done especially when
it is really important. Procrastination is a behavior that
leads to stress, because it makes plans and wishes fail at what should be the point of fulfillment such as a house work, homework,
meeting, assignments and many more important matters that were actually
essential in one’s life to fulfill it.
The problem also happened when people especially teenagers become
addicted to their gadgets because it is easy to become
addicted to gaming, texting, talking on the phone or socializing online. Some
students may attempt to do this in class, which disrupts their learning, and at
home it detracts from study time. Kids putting in long hours on their gadgets will
give less attention to assignments and may be irritable when they are away from
their gadgets. They might also sleep less, which can slow down their thinking the next day.
Next, when there is a persistent use of high-tech gadgetry can lead to a
slew of health problems for young and old alike. A sedentary lifestyle
discourages exercise and encourages obesity. The back-lit screens used for
computers, iPhones and video games can cause eye problems. Walking around
everywhere with music blaring directly into your ears brings on headaches and
hearing difficulties. The net effect of all these things, plus the pressure of
immediate responses to everything, can become stressful.
