The Dangers of Overusing Computers

Kids, teens and adults are now constantly navigating the internet or using some sort of technology. In the article “Is the Onslaught Making Us Crazy” by Tony Dokoupil, different psychologist claim that technology has a bad influence on the human mind. Throughout the text, real life examples, showing psychological breakdowns, are used to support the statement.

People, who used internet too much, tend to have migraines, and later on, affect the brain. When people are hook in the internet for long hours, and start having migraines, it might be a sign that they are overusing internet. Unfortunately, some people do not take this seriously, do not stop, and keep using technology in a way that they know they should not. Having migraines can be a primary physical symptom to something else. In the same article, Step Away from the Screen: Studies suggest too much technology might actually damage the brain” by Paul Rogers, “Multiple studies have shown… that is, the shrinkage or loss or brain tissue volume — due to Internet or gaming addiction. In 2011, a Chinese study found shrinkage in certain areas of the cerebral cortex of university students who had been classified as Internet addicts (playing online games for an average of 8 to 13 hours a day for at least six days per week. That gray matter atrophy worsened with longer durations of Internet addiction” (1). Do it, of too much internet use, society might face greater physical health problems. By using too much internet can affect several parts of the brain. People know that using too much internet or playing videos games have negative consequences; despite knowing this, they still play video games for long period of time. Loss of brain tissue is something

Thesis Statement: I believe that the large increase of dependency that humans have developed with computers may lead to an unhealthy lifestyle. Computers are still continuing to evolve and the use of this device is now being used for a variety of reasons in everyday life. Moreover, this is starting to question people on whether individuals are becoming too reliant on this processing machine. This paper will discuss about how humans have become too dependent on the use of computers.

After many hours of being on a screen like a computer in a office your eyes hurt and you get a headache. And after many years it might cause damage to your eyes. People who work in offices should take brakes because they dont ever got off them. Thats how people get headaches and get fat because they are always sitting. And then theres teenagers and saller children at home on the screens all day which is really bad because they could be outside

This allows people’s addiction to technology to worsen because they have unlimited access at all times. This is also takes away from valuable time doing activities that are productive and more beneficial to the brain. There were even some people who stayed at the stores all night, this is not good for the body because the body needs sleep. It is also not good to be behind a screen for such a long period of time. The game craze has gotten out of hand according to professionals, there have even been people who had died in a gaming cube due to lack of food and water for over fifty hours. I think that is a major issue because it is causing people to put themselves in harm, whether they realize it or not. I strongly believe that the excessive use of technology is an addiction and people do need help, even if it does not seem like a serious addiction, such as alcoholism. Health complications such as eye strain and hearing problems also occur due to excessive use of technology. I know for a fact that is can happen because I use to have normal eyesight until high school. Using screens became part of my everyday life and now I have to wear

My first reason why multitasking has negative effects,is because multitasking can make you less productive.However Micheal Robb,a director of parental advocacy group common sense media says,”Many people think Multitasking

Some people may say that the world does not rely too much on computers. I do agree that computers have done some wonderful things. They make it to where deployed soldiers can see their children and wives from anywhere as long as they have a web cam, advanced computer-based systems are used to examine delicate organs of the body. Some of the complex surgeries can be performed with the aid of computers, but I feel that the bad outweighs the good. People that don’t agree with me don’t think about the children that spend so much time on the computer that their grades start dropping at school, the children that fall prey to pedophiles, or the children that commit suicide over cyber bullying. Those people don’t think about the people that get their identity stolen right out from underneath them.

Over the years, there has been a large increase in the use of computers as the world is evolving. In my study, the objective is to emphasize on the health effects of computer use in working environments and domestic homes. The speed and effectiveness of computers has made a good number organization and businesses depend on the equipment. When the computer was first introduced it was mostly used by adults. In the present day, there have been an increasing number of children using the computer for leisure and education purpose. There have been fears of the use of computer for long periods of time which may cause severe health problems to an individual. The level of discomfort it causes as

As a technology enthusiast, my life has revolved around using and making technology better. When I’m not studying for a class on my computer, I’m programming or watching Youtube videos on that same computer. In my years of this technology-centered lifestyle, I’ve received constant criticism for my excessive use of technology. Ever since I got my first Nintendo console, I have always turned a blind eye to these warnings which, at the time, felt ridiculously stereotyped. Consumer electronics like PC’s, tablets, gaming consoles, and phones are relatively new to the market. We have only had such devices for the past 50 years. This narrow frame of time

People who multitasking frequently use their senses when a specific task. Most of them that does multitasking the most were more successful at spotting the target than other. The harmful effect of multitasking is that multitasking lowers I.Q level, lowers E.Q level, and damage the brain cells.

Health problems caused by technology have turned into a big problem, especially among teenagers. People, especially teens, pay a high price for relying on social media, video games, and TV, especially when it comes to sleep. The internet has become an addiction, we need it like we need air to breathe. This addiction seems to be the cause of several serious health problems such as sleep deprivation, vision problems, obesity, etc. Addiction to technology has also made people lazy. Instead of going outside, playing sports and running around, they would rather stare at a screen, inside and the only exercise they get is sitting up in their chair and walking to the fridge for food. Even though the implementation of robots has reduced the risk to human life because they can perform some risky jobs instead of humans, robots themselves can create risky

Computers make it easy for information to get around more rapidly just as cell phones do. Emails can be sent two hundreds of people within a matter of minutes; however, this can be harmful if an individual uses it to do harm rather than good. It can be open to virus, hackers, malware, etc. This can create an environment for unauthorized users to hack into a computer and see confidential information. This is when face-to face communication is still important and better than technology. Computers limit the authentication of a person’s response; it makes t difficult to know who they are talking to, which can raise the risk of security and safety.
