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.
