The use of technology has been so evidence in our world And we can say is tool from where we can find solution to many problems we have with us today no doubt about that, but on the other hand its also considered a threat to humanity, and has a have number of ill effects on people or society. And there is not few quite remarkable things that indicate the influence that technology has on the society and it does not evolve from mere negative discussions of ones social relationships with others but there is a possibility of causing harm to one’s health as both the mind and body. The earlier we realize this and placing focus on these perils aids in finding out risks in today’s digitalized world and offers the right remedies to achieve better future.
In our world today, The greatest risk of technologies is the fact that they reduce communicate between individuals to zero. A lot of families no longer have time to relate and interact with fellow families, friends and love ones don't have time to communicate again Instead, we rely on our smartphones, social networking sites and other technological tools for communication and entertainment. Some people prefers staying online and feel comfortable there than talking with their fellow individuals. Unfortunately, the natural way in which humans interface their face-to-face communications most like are not going to be effective again,in this era we are close but far from each other, we use to think that when we have more Technological devices that can make us communicate faster we will be closer but technology is now more important to people than personal social interaction, and because of this verbal as well as nonverbal Technology interdependence also leads to petty disruptions and immediate gratification that prevent people from talking meaningfully or even spending time with the things they are supposed to be handling. And sometimes people can be going through a lot but can share
there are effects that are so obvious in technology and these include the effects on the one’s mental and emotional states. Too much communication through the social networks and other digital platforms makes people uncomfortable, lonely and anxious. This is the part we are not getting, people seem to be normal physically but mentally they are depressed and lonely because of the comparison that is everywhere on the social media platform, people are busy competing and searching forthe liking and validation comments of others. Notifications and the news feed itself also cause pressure and trigger frustrations because people get lost in the information flow, which does not contribute to easing pressure on the already stressed society that is facing challenges of a fast pace life.
At times people might be struggling with life issues and waiting for a positive change from government seat then boom! Social media will post a video or news that will bring more sorrow than joy shattering the little hope they are creating. Ironically at times those things are even false Funny enough sometimes, those things are even false. This why I don’t even take anything I see on social media as the truth until I cross-check it from other platforms.
I had one terrible experience this year and for the fact that I'm more concerned about my mental health I don't really take things I see on social media to heart, I was hoping on a project who promised to buy so much and then boom on the d day I was disappointed, I felt so bad and depressed and since that day I'm so careful with the way I consume information on the Internet.
Lastly I would like to say Social media is still considered a strong device which like any other device has to be used properly. That way, we are on the lookout for the negative impact so as to take advantage of any positive outcomes the system might bring.
I would love to invite @joycy and @preciousgold
