Modern technology has absolute control over our lives. Nowadays we work, love, shop, play and communicate with each other and the world online. We have embraced advanced technology, seeking only the benefits and completely ignoring the downfalls. The social impact of technology is huge because today we spend more time online than ever before and the Internet plays a key role in various areas of our lives. There’s no doubt that modern technology has facilitated our lives and our 

communication with the world, but it also has many visible flaws

WASTE OF TIME

There are so many interesting things on the Internet, but if we would like to review and comment on everything, one life wouldn’t be enough. We only have one life and the day lasts only twenty-four hours, so we must use time wisely. Unfortunately, many of use spend hours and hours looking at mobiles, tablets and laptops, doing nothing clever. It all comes down to watching funny videos and photos, which provides only a temporary stimulus. The same goes for reading news and various articles. So, it is better to spend time in learning something new, walking in nature or drinking coffee with friends instead of constantly looking at our smartphones and computer screens

THREAT TO HUMAN HEALTH

The more time people are spending looking at their computer screens, playing games and talking to friends online, they are spending less time exercising and being active. This can result in increased consumption of unhealthy food, depression, and obesity. Also, there is a huge possibility of loss of eyesight and hearing, in people who spend too much time looking at computer and device screens and using headphones. Constantly looking at devices can also cause head and neck pain

ISOLATION

There’s no doubt that modern technology has improved the communication between people. However, there is a serious lack of contact with other people and social activities. We isolate ourselves because we prefer communicating online and we avoid face-to-face interaction. One day when we will need to call a real friend, we will realize that we can not trust in someone whom we know only from the Internet
