How much overuse of technology affects us?

                Why are we so dependent on technology? 

Coming to this question, first, we have to know what is technology? In the new era, we get listening many times that technology is getting advanced day by day. What does it mean? Any methods, skills, techniques, or processes that we adapt to do our work without wasting any time is called technology. Its main objective is to save time and avoid any physical or mental effort. 

Some types of technology

                                                                                                                                 If we see in any part of life like in education, in construction, in industries, business, in-office work, in homes, hospitals, in markets everywhere we use technology in the form of many small or heavy machines. Sometimes technology has various advantages because it eases our lives, but on the other hand, it has many disadvantages also. Because sometimes overuse of technology facilitates us at the cost of some harms like pollutions, health disorders and so on.                                                                                                                     

The process of evolution in early ages

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       The process of evolution starts from an early age. Humans discovered fire with the friction of stones then the theory of cooking came. They used to find many languages to talk to each other. They managed their time to observe the shadow of objects. At nights, they sought directions with the help of laws of the stars and with the use of the moon,s movement. They started making tools with animal bones and woods. Then utensils and wheels were their following inventions. It means that the process of evolution began from beginning slowly.  

Disadvantages of overuse of technology 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          As time passed, this evolution changed the techniques of doing or making things. Human life converted from physical work to machines. No doubt, they saved much time as well as they did not consider the consequences. There are many disadvantages of overuse of technology.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

1-  Health issues

                                                                                                                                                                                                                       When people have done their work physically, they have enjoyed a very healthy life but, because of so-called technology, we face many health issues. Our bodies have used to so much comfort that nobody wants to do work. Everyone wants to have the means of technology. No physical effort results in obesity, diabetes, blood pressure, and many other psychic problems—many people face frustration, depression, and stress afterward.                                                                                                                                                                

2- Effects on children

                        Overuse of computers and mobile phones, children are also prone to many problems. They have bad postures, eyesight problems, sleep disorders, obesity, laziness, less focus on studies, lack of creativity, and other attitude problems. In severe effects, they have cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes as well.

3- Social loneliness 

                                                                                                                                                                                                               Excessive use of technology gave us many social and emotional drawbacks. There are fewer people to people contacts. Our social circles get smaller and smaller day by day. Sometimes our friends or family members need our support emotionally, are not there for their help. Because we are so much involved in mobiles that we do not realize their needs. There are gaps between family members in many homes. The lack of an emotional relationship between parents and children is more devastating. It feels that overuse of technology destroys our family systems.                                                                                                                                                     

 4- Addicted to gadgets or appliances

                                                                                                                                                                                                                       We are so addicted to devices and appliances that we are not able to work without these things. The people who claim that they use technology to save their time can waste it. On the other hand, some people who are more active in social, are so addicted to these things that they start neglecting their duties. They should remember that access to everything is harmful.                                                                                                         

What steps should take to avoid these problems?

We should smartly handle this situation. We should understand that technology is good for us till then we are living a healthy life. When it starts to disturb our basic rules of life, we get worse instead of getting benefits.
