7. Negative impacts of
technology
Although technology has proven to be very beneficial to the human population,
people need to sit down and realise how technology is in fact changing the world
aggressively in lots of negative ways
8. Negative impacts of
technology
(Continued)
Technology has enabled students to be easily distracted by social media in the
classroom; using Twitter or Facebook for non-educational purposes. Which in turn,
results in no classroom content being learned by those of which who choose to not
pay attention
9. Negative impacts of
technology
(Continued)
The amount of obese people in the world has risen drastically ever since the rise in
use of technology. Obesity is not caused by only calorie intake, another key factor,
possibly the main factor, is lack of exercise. Technology has created many devices that
people use on a daily basis, 99% of these devices include laying on the couch and
pushing buttons. Video games and TV are essentially making people fat. People need
to get off the couch and go outside and enjoy the outdoors.
10. Negative impacts of
technology
(Continued)
The use of online social media results in people not having to meet face-to-face,
which results in a lack of much needed social skills. People lose the ability to read
body language in other people.
11. Negative impacts of
technology (Continued)
Cyber Bullying was never an issue until technology made it available. Kids that are
being bullied never get to run away from the actual bully nowadays, even in their own
home the bullying victim can be made fun of via the internet and any other social
media.
12. Who is responsible for
Technology
People for many years have been creating, improving and hypothesising about
technology inventions and advancements. The human population is totally
responsible for all impacts of technology whether they be positive or negative.
13. Will technology
destroy our planet
Technology has made huge advancements within the last 50 years, one can only speculate
that in the next 50 years it is inevitable that technology will continue to advance.
Technological growth is OK, up until the point that people have no sense of
communication, kids continue to be bullied via the internet on an even larger scale, robots
take place of man and jobs are lost.
The possibilities of many negative impacts from technology are very real, and one can only
hope that people are able to smarten up and realise that if something isn’t done about
this, technology will take over mankind and ruin what it has created.
14. How can we stop the
progression of
technology
Technology has taken over many peoples lifestyle and they need to realise that they
are the ones in control of their own life. If all people came to that realisation, the
demand for technology would plateau and we would not have to worry about
technology destroying mankind's largest ever creation and that is the word we live in
today.
Now that you are at the end of my presentation, turn off your computer, go outside
and enjoy the outdoors.
