Technology Affecting the Health of Teens
Today, we live in the age of technology. It’s getting better, smaller and more complex than ever. But with all of the new technology that has been released, abuse has followed it. There are many technological devices that are used to just waste time. These distractive electronics are TV’s, computers, video game consoles, music players and phones. Now these pieces of technology by themselves aren’t the problem.
They have different functions inside that are abused and used to waste time. For TV’s, they have TV shows on that are pointless and have no effect on how you live your life. The only show that truly serves a point is truly the NEWS. It informs society about what’s going on around them, real life problems. I don’t mean to offend those that enjoy watching shows other than the NEWS, but you
have to admit that it is true.
Computers aren’t the problem; they have many functions that are great and useful to perform well in life. But the problem is the internet. There are many sites today such as social media, and while they do serve the purpose of fun and relax time, they are a waste of time. Unless the site you go on gives you useful information applicable to your life, it is just a waste.
Video games are very loved by many, including me, but it is the biggest time waster today. These games can be played for hours without feeling bored. Most would argue that these games help to create an imaginative side for a life that is more fun. But most of these games have nothing that you can take away and apply to life.
