Technology is something that has changed our lives in the last decades. This includes cell phones, internet, laptops, etc. Since its improvement, technology as a whole has been dramatically changed and is now vital since it also makes lives much easier. Technology overload could certainly be associated with being anti-social. People tend to forget the outside world and the excitements of it because they are too concentrated on their devices and slowly start to become anti-social. There are several ways on how to best cope with technology overload; make use of it only at the work place, use the devices safely. Technology devices should only be used in the work place because some people focus so much on their work that they forget they have families waiting for them at home, these are workaholics and even once they get home they still in their technological world and what they must do in this case is to turn off their cell phones devices in order to spend some quality time with their families. This also applies when being around people or friends whether it’s a meeting, or lunch, it is very important to be considerate towards others and not have your phone in your hand all the time as this is considered to be rude and impolite. Another way to deal with technology overload is while driving. In this situation it is essential or even crucial not to use technology devices on the wheel because is not only dangerous for the driver itself, but also for the passengers if there are any and for the other drivers on the street. When receiving a call while driving, the best thing to do is to put the phone on speakers, or have somebody else hold it for you, but it would be better not to answer the phone at all since the conversation itself is... ... middle of paper ... ... reduced. In order to avoid any effects in one’s health, is highly advisable to get used to do a few things, among them, leave the electronic devices far from ones bedroom. Another thing would be to use headphones or speakers whenever possible to avoid direct contact with the device. Additionally to the previous possible preventions, use the mobile phone as little as possible. For instance, instead of having long phone conversations, use alternatives such as text messages or emails. To conclude, I believe that the best way to reduce radiation, since it cannot be fully removed, is by doing one of those things; talk less on the phone and send more emails. Living without electronic devices in our modern lives would be almost impossible because it has become indispensable for all of us. Doing those little thing every day, might help decrease radiation in one’s body.
This paper examines the dangers that arise when cell phones are used at the same time as operating a vehicle. The paper will explore the following question of why this is a problem and why the research is important. The variables investigated are the use of cell phones while driving, whether speaking or texting, and the accidents and fatalities caused from the distraction. Data of the accidents and fatalities caused by drivers distracted by their cells phones is stated to research and further explores the age group and gender of the people involved into the accidents to uncover patterns. Possible outcomes of the implementation of laws prohibiting cell phone use while driving are discussed as well as the sampling measures used to survey and research the variables.
In conclusion, the usages of cell phones can pose a higher risk for producing tumors, damaging the brain, and even getting cancer. Radiofrequency energy emitted from cell phones can cause changes in the activity of brain cells, causing people to have symptoms that cause uncontrollable health disabilities. The tissues in the body that absorb radiation from cell phones, can definitely be unsafe for the body. Cell phones radiation can enable the formation of tumors to take effect in the body if someone is constantly exposed to the radiation energy for long periods of time. People should be limiting their usages on their cell phones throughout the day, and keep their phone as far away from their body as possible when making a call to reduce any risk of cancer from the radiation.
Several individuals need to be constantly sending messages to their friends and family members with the use of a cellphone while driving. More and more drivers have the urge to use their cell phones while driving. This dangerous mixture can result to be even deadly. “As one researcher concluded, a cellphone draws attention away from the routines that would provide a good representation of the driving environment” (qtd. in Seppa 3).
My first reason people are losing social skills due to using too much technology because people feel that they need the newest smart phone and when they get it they are always on it. “The UCLA scientists found that sixth-graders who went five days without even glancing at a smartphone, television or other digital screen did substantially better at reading human emotions than sixth-graders from the same school who continued to spend hours each day looking at their electronic devices.” And when people get on their device they will get
Using everything more than its recommended doses have side effects, and the same is for the use of our technology. The use of technology and its accelerated innovation in our societies is affecting our life form different angles. From making disincentive our kids about valance, school shooting, lake of sexual boundaries, depression, lake of educational stander and so much more are all caused by the overuse of technology. After making my research questions, and reading the articles about the overuse and said effect of technology for my annotated bibliography, I will be able to present my research paper about the harms’ of technology and internet. My thesis will focus on the negative sid...
Cell phones in hand, and laptops so small they fit in purses. Computers at our homes insure we can get on the internet and surf the web for answers for anything that may need to know. As the growth of technology has evolved the past twenty years we have become more dependent upon it for everyday things. From alarms, calendars, ‘googling’, counting our steps to make sure we stay healthy, connecting us to our friends and family; simple things that we often take for granted. Though our lives are often ruled by the various technology pieces out there to keep us ‘grounded during the day, some pieces of technology are not healthy for our bodies and minds.
The cell phone usage makes it easier to communicate with family, friends, work, paying bills, however, cell phone usage can distract people attentions. And it also can cause health problems.
Have you ever been to a restaurant and watched a couple or group of friends sit at their table and everyone was on their phone; either texting, playing a game or probably on social media. No one was communicating with each other. I don’t want to be that person that everyone stops to stare at when at a restaurant with other people and I choose to be on my cellphone. There is also nothing more inappropriate than when you are in a middle of a conversation with someone and they stop to answer their phone or to look at a text message and respond to it. That can be very disrespectful and offensive to the person that is speaking to you. I don’t need a cellphone because when I go to the movies I can pay attention to the big screen in front of me instead of the small one that’s in my handbag. If I don’t feel like carrying a handbag I don’t have to worry about the phone falling out of my pocket. That will prevent spending hours explaining to customer service how I lost my phone or damaged it. I don’t have to stress myself when the customer service representative tells me I have to pay for the replacement phone because the phone insurance does not replace lost
For many years, cell phone companies and researchers have debated about the effect of cell phones on the health of the user and have been assessing the dangers associated with the use of cell phones, including the potential to cause types of cancer.
I, as a driver, too, think that cell phone use while driving is a distraction. Even though I personally don’t own a phone, I have used one. I noticed that talking on the cellular phone and driving doesn’t make it hard to focus on the road. But it is difficult and a major distraction to dial-up a number without losing focus on the road. Dialing a number is the main distraction about cel...
A. People are constantly fixated on their phones, checking Twitter, Facebook, and text messages. The use of a cell phones while driving is extremely distracting and dangerous to the person behind the wheel, and everyone else on the road as well.
Technology has been growing throughout the years, always changing and evolving in all new ways. It has become almost a second nature to us by now, to use technology on anything and everything. We use technology for the smallest things, such as looking up the recipe for your next meal, or the name of an actor, or just to check up on a friend. It seems to be that the more technology develops, the more addicted and the more dependent we become. If one were to analyze and really think about how many times we use technology a day, we will start to realize how much it has consumed us. Just think about how many times a day you see someone on their phone, or on a computer. You will start to realize how addicted we are. It’s so common for us to use and see people use technology, that we take it for granted and never think twice about it. However, is becoming this dependent on technology a bad thing? I feel as though we depend a lot on technology
The world is getting smaller, yet remains full of possibilities due in part to technology. Interestingly, the very first emails could only be sent to someone using two computers, literally side by side. Technology dates back to the first manipulations of materials to assist in human survival. There are many definitions for technology, John D. Carl describes technology stating,” it deals with the creation, use, and application of knowledge and its’ interrelation with life, society, and the environment” (Carl, J.D., 2011, p.301). For the purpose of this paper, any instrument, invention, or method influencing and allowing people to control or adapt to their environment, is technology. With the increased availability of technological tools (smart phones, text messaging, image scanning, email, and social media), communication is rapidly changing. Society has moved beyond the Industrial Age and into the Information Age, where the sharing of knowledge and ideas is the new driver of power and world economy. Technology possesses many merits, and as with any tool, it carries drawbacks. Misuse and overuse creates unsavory dependence. This dependence can have adverse affects on people, business, and education. Technology receives vast criticism for reducing face-to-face interactions. Although the information technology of today is widely held as impersonal, it promotes communication; technology reduces costs and leverages productivity by facilitating access to information and knowledge, and augmenting interaction amongst those who utilize technology.
Many people now-a-days are glued to their cell phones due to the advanced technology. This isn’t always the healthiest thing to do as I explain. There are three big
Cell phones are one of the greatest inventions in the world. We can imagine how life would be without cell phones. Cell phones are very handy; it can make our communication easier. Also cell phones can provide us with everything, like relaxing with music, browsing the internet, chatting on social networking sites or playing games. Unfortunately cell phones are not risk free. Using cell phones involve emission of EMR electromagnetic radiation, which is a dangerous sort of energy wave, is produce by modern appliances that surround us in everyday lives. The worst causes of EMR are cell phones. These days especially children are getting addicted to cell phones. When you are talking on your phone, there are microwaves going through your head. There has been a study on the development of brain tumors and the amount of time you take on the phone due to radio waves. However, people do not realize the consequences and negative effects cell phones cause. It causes diseases and disorders and other harmful damages to our body and health. Nevertheless, cell phones are also not dangerous.
