As much as technology has made our life easier the other effect is pretty destructive. We tend to forget our surroundings as a side effect of being glued to our technology devices.

Even if we are aware of the real problems, we are still denying the fact. Media has started to take the social scourge seriously by posting articles and campaigns.

Using technology devices for a long time can affect health. Eyes start to hurt and headaches appear... This becomes frequent because the brain is not capable of accepting the magnetic waves as they can be dangerous for health. The pain felt is different from person to person since we all have a different level of using technology devices.

Some studies have given frightening results. Being exposed to a high level of electromagnetic waves can cause panic, disorientation and fear. This happens because the waves attack a particular site in brain and the neurons don't work properly. If we're excessively exposed, the consequences can be more catastrophic: the flow of blood can be dangerously altered or neurons groups can be turned off. Many have experimented different intensities of seizures such as loosing consciousness or slip into coma. The last and tragic consequence is death.

The other problem which is directly related to this new life and our schedule is food and how we can become careless about it. It mainly happens during lunch break when we are doing some work and we eat in front of our screens at the same time. We often eat a quick sandwich. Thus, our body is also affected.

The circle seems never ending; we use a lot, we eat less or more and we sleep less. The natural operation of the body is disturbed.

Using technology devices can make us unsocial. This is quite paradoxical since we mainly use these ways to be in contact with family or friends. Our phones and social networks take such a major place in our lives that we forget to simply go and meet our friend who's not living far away from us. When the previous generation say that their lives were better before, they are right, in a way.

Let us not forget that too much of dependence can change the way we're and can make us look for someone we're not in real life. Some people, especially teenagers want to get acknowledged and they sometimes create fake profiles. Their world completely becomes virtual and it's like they're living in a bubble. Parents are helpless about it as they're also stuck in their daily routine.

Dependence on technology is a social problem that needs to be taken seriously by all of us. If the situation remains like this we might not be able to cure this new illness from the 21st century.
