Technology has been an improvement to society, making people's lives easier to complete tasks or provide a better standard of living. However, technology clouds society's awareness of the amount of dependence they have on it and has become a problem. Younger generations who grew up with technology don't realize the dependence they have on technology because they have used it their entire lives. The tendency to use technology can be a serious damage to your health. Nowadays it is a requirement to have a computer when pursuing an education, as most of the assigned work is done via a typographical version. It is actually more professional and sophisticated. However, as stated in the article Causes of Tingling and Numbness in the Hands, "carpal tunnel syndrome tends to be one of the most common causes of tingling in the hands....

The use of technologies not only affects joints but also sleep disorders. According to Charles Czeisler of Harvard Medical School states that "The increased use of these potentially more sleep-detrimental technologies among younger generations may have serious consequences for physical health, cognitive development and other measures of well-being" (Web). Using technology before going to sleep increases the rate of insomnia as it causes an active mind during the night, disruption of individual sleep, a loss of concentration and drowsiness throughout the next day. It can also cause headaches and changes in the individual's mood to the point of feeling frustrated and anxious. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication By...... half of the paper ...... by Maureen Gasheri states that "the essence of social Media is rooted in the idea that sharing is important. The Internet has liberalized information for everyone, but now what social media has done is to add a kind of revolution to this liberalization” (Web). This shows that at the beginning this type of social media creates an improvement to communicate around the world by sharing information , but now people are really abusing the use of social media such as cyberbullying In which they not only affect individuals but also many others. Technology is a very useful resource, but if people do not moderate its use for improving one's future will be the destruction of generations. Teaching people to manage technology for the benefit of the formation of educational classes towards the younger generations. If people continue to abuse the use of technology, the future will not improve.
