Facebook, Google and many other technology organizations have been created for the needs of the people at one time. But they are now starting to have harmful effects on people. So a group of United States Silicon Valley coalition partners to stand against the harmful effects of social networking and smartphones. Many of them helped to create Facebook, Google.

A New York Times report said that researchers concerned about social networking issues created a union called 'Center for Human Technology'. The union is planning to lobby anti-addiction technology in collaboration with the non-profit media monitoring agency Commonsense Media. They have the intention to run publicity in 55 thousand government schools in the United States.

The name of the campaign will be 'Truth About Tech'. Commonsense will initially provide funding of $ 70 million. And this fund will work to increase the Center for Human Technology. In the meantime, Commonsense donated 50 million US dollars in the media sector. Their aim is to inform the negative aspects of technology among the students, guardians and teachers. Make sure everyone is aware of the depression used in the use of smartphones and social networking websites.

Trishan Harris, former Google policy-maker, said they were involved in raising awareness. They know what the organizations can take, how they work, or how to do technical work. In recent years, big debates have arisen on the impact of technology among young people. In January, Apple was pressured by two big investors from Wall Street. Apple has been asked to investigate the impact of their product on children. At the same time, children are asked to use the iPhone and iPad in a limited way.

Child physicians and psychiatrists recently urged Facebook to stop messenger services introduced for children. Parents are also concerned about YouTube kids.

In addition to Google's worker Harris in the Center for Human Technology Alliance, former Facebook manager Sandy Parakilas, former Apple activist Lin Fox, Google's communications officer Dave Morin, Facebook executive Justin Rojenstein and others.

People participating in the alliance are hoping that their group will be more heavy soon. Their first project will be revamped the tuition industry. Make sure that technology is not negatively impacted on health.
