Digital
Problems
Over the last two decades,
technology is been used more and more in everyday activities, like studying,
work and entertainment. Some people, especially in the younger generation
cannot do anything on the internet without checking Facebook, Instagram etc.
Some say that the many hours a day in front of a screen can pose a serious
health threat, with symptoms like insomnia, stress and digital addiction. can
the many hours in front of a screen pose this serious of a health threat? Does
it destroy other achievements in life? Is it worth it?
People are being stressed
out, having insomnia and digital addiction. I do not think that it is because
of the technologies itselves. I think that it is more because of people using
it wrong. If you only use the productive sites and apps, I do not think people
wold have the same problems. Most people cannot do something on the internet
without checking Facebook or check their phone without checking Instagram or
Snapchat. In my opinion, it would be hard to get addicted to productive apps
and sites. But are any of these phenomenon’s new?
It is well know that it is
not healthy to look at a screen the whole day. But is does it do more harm than
the way people worked before? Are people more stressed out now than before? I
think not. In my way of thinking it seems like the reasons why people are more
stressed and have insomnia etcetera is more because of the social media.
In the working life, you now have to be reachable and available
any time and everywhere. In a way I think that the cell phones have taken away
our “real” free time. I think that this can make people more stressed because
they don’t have any time where they are completely off work. I think that it
was wery different and better a couple of decades ago when people had real free
time.
There are big difference in what people are thinking of
how the technologies has saved us time. Some say that it makes us much more effective
because we can now pay our bills in the in the car in a traffic jam or find cooking
recipes on the internet instead of actually have to open a book and find it. Those
who say that it makes us less effective say that we have the possibility to do
things faster, but we often spend it on the social media, with everlasting
posts and surfing the internet. I think that they may have a point in what they
are saying, and that it would be much better if we did not us so much time on
the social media.
To sum it up I think that we are using far too much
time on the social media, the games and other sites that is stealing our time
and that it is the main problem, not the technology.
