Recent studies show that spending nighttime on an electronic device can affect you during the day, such as the one done by the Seton Hall University's School of Health and Medical Sciences and the JFK Neuroscience Institute in Edison. In this study they questioned teenagers about the time they spend on the internet while they should be sleeping, and the results are surprising.(i will put the link down below)
It is true that when we speak about technology we normally refer to new generations, but the problem is that it is not only affecting teenagers but also adults, and as a result families are driven a part and have forgotten forgot what family time is. Technology can make things at home more complicated if there are no limits, and if the adults of the family use the technologies without regulations it is certain that the kids looking up to them will do the same. As a result teenagers do not like spending time at home or if they do they would close themselves in their own bedrom and isolate themselves from the world. Parents of course, have an important role. Instead of making the communal living pleasant they are making it more uncomfortable so the kid/teen does not know where to go and he/she is lost.
Nowadays people are becoming more dependent on technologies, especially their cellphones, but little do they know it could be dangerous for their health. Cellphones produce different kind of electromagnetic radiation that could increase the risk of getting cancer and not only that , but it could also affect your blood flow even if neither of those effects have not been proven yet.
In conclusion, technology affects our life in many different ways as much negative as positive. The negatives are more visible and alarming while the positives are always being eclipsed by the negatives. Starting from a young age to evaluate and to learn when to use technology could prevent having problems in the future. It is never too late to have a better life and to improve your family time.
