Diversion

Technology has a great diversion in the present time. It is a great distraction from the past decade. Technology has distracted humans extensively and created gaps and distance in their relations. According to the research conducted on 453 adults in the United States, approximately half of the people are distracted through technology in presence of their partner. The results are not favorable for the people in terms of their relationship. The most dangerous type of technology addiction is the use of smartphones. When a person starts using the phone, he will spend a lot of time and waste it. The alarming fact about the usage of technology is “if a person quits using phone then he has anxiety attacks”. The risk of anxiety is higher than a normal person.

Depression

The excess usage of social media destroys mental health. It has a negative effect on the brain.

As social media has excess to everyone, so a huge number of fake and real news circulating over social media. The news on the internet is sometimes based on violence, create inferiority complex among people, and gender discrimination. It triggers depression and anxiety among the people.

Lack of Commitment

When a person is addicted to social media and the internet, he is deeply involved in this. We often experience this in gatherings, restaurants, and all the places people are busy with their phones. The other person is trying hard to communicate but it could not happen because the addiction to the phone will not allow them to spend quality time together. It is cheating to the commitment of spending quality time together. Sometimes we have to go to a meeting but due to excessive use of the internet and technology, we got late and could not manage to go. Try to prioritize people instead of phone and technology usage.

Technology is substituting Human Experience

Technology has taken over the place of all things. Humans are replaced with technology. People spend time on the phone rather than their family and relations. Instead of using the phone, spent time with family. Silent your phone, put it aside, and remember there is no replacement of the relations.
