“Technology
is making us all more lazy and unhealthy”. Discuss.
Technological
progress is a continuous process, which plays a very important role in our
daily lives. However, some people believe that this progress has made us more
lazy and unhealthy.
On one hand, technology
has brought many advances in areas such as health and communications. Although machines
or high technology don’t help people do less work but they do help them
complete tasks more quickly, with microwaves, vacuums, and some others. What’s
more, machines as well as other technological achievements like Internet have
helped humanity do and complete tasks more effectively and in a more enjoyable
way.
On the other hand,
technology was meant to help society however, in the long run, it is actually hurting
society. Children are growing up dependent on computers, cell phones, TV, and
video games. Being surrounded by this technology has led children to have a
shorter attention span. Technology is so addicting that individuals are neglecting
their families to spend more time with their cell phones and laptops. Students
are lazier than ever before, using the internet to do the hard work for them.
The technology not only affects people in this way, it affects health too. For
example, if you have a sedentary life with the time, you will become obese.
All in all, the best way to take
a healthy and balanced lifestyle is to give up our unhealthy practices. Let’s
admit that most of us, including myself, have a tendency to be either a couch
potato, a video game jockey, a laptop lover or some type of maniac. If this
behavior is limited to few occasions, it's not serious, however, repeated
instances will ruin health, mental well-being and also impact relationships.
