ABSTRACT
Background
Technology is not a new concept. Humans have been innovating ways to make life easier
from the beginning. Recently, these changes have been coming faster and faster. Technology
itself is not a bad thing; actually, it has helped better millions of lives by providing faster and more
easily accessible information for education, job performance, and entertainment. However, it is
becoming more of an impact and prevalent in the lives of its users. This leads to higher rates of
technology addiction and can lead to numerous social, physical, and psychological problems.
Technology often fulfills our natural human needs for stimulation, interaction, and changes
in environment with great efficiency. Overusing the technology can lead to technology addiction.
Vision Watch Data 2014 showed that nearly one-third of adults (30%) spend at least nine hours on
digital devices each day. These are symptoms commonly associated with overexposure of digital
devices such as eye strain, neck/shoulder/back pain, headache, blurred vision, dry eyes. This type
of addiction unfortunately can lead to several bad impacts. Also, self- luminous devices, such as
computers, tablets and cell phones can emit short wave length (blue) light, which maximally
suppresses melatonin and cause detrimental to sleep quantity and quality. In order to prevent the
negative imp act of technology the user must use it wisely.
Objective:
Through this public poster, we would like to spread the message and increase society awareness
regarding the bad impact of overusing technology and in the end we can get the benefit from
technology without sacrificing our own body.
Slogan: Get Your Body Undercontrolled Before Technology Take The Control
