We often hear about the unprecedented growth of technology in recent years, and there's no denying that technology can offer many advantages. In many ways, technology has made everyday life easier. From ordering takeout to booking vacations, almost anything is just a few clicks away. However, just as technology can offer convenience, it can also bring some drawbacks. For example, the amount of time we spend in front of screens, be it laptops, TVs, or smartphones, has drastically increased. This can lead to a range of physical and mental health issues such as eye strain, headaches, anxiety, or even depression. The reliance on technology can also mean social or emotional connections become strained as people are unavailable to answer calls or messages, or even show up for a person-to-person visit. When it comes to using technology, its best to find a balance. Taking regular breaks from staring at screens and opting to meet up with friends or families in person can help alleviate the negative effects of overusing technology, and help to maintain strong interpersonal relationships. Making sure to have a healthy lifestyle on top of technology use is essential for a healthy, balanced life.
