seems technology has an answer for everything. However, what you should know is
that for everything that has advantages, also has its disadvantages. In this
case, the disadvantage or side effect of technology is its negative impact it
is having on your health. Unfortunately, many tech geeks are unaware of this
because the effect may take a while to manifest. As a result, it is important
for anyone attached to any tech gadgets to be aware of its negative effects
before it is too late. Jumia Travel,
the online travel agency, gathers ways your tech gadgets may be affecting your
health.
Hearing loss
Some
persons have their ears plugged for nearly half of the day. They are either
listening to music or radio. Unknown to them, this regular music banging in
your ears is affecting your eardrums. You should give your ears a break in
order to prevent hearing loss or damage.
Insomnia
Insomnia
is the inability to sleep. Many of us don't get enough sleep because when you
are supposed to be dozing off, you are fiddling with your gadget especially
your smartphone. Then you complain that you are not getting enough and you are
unable to function the following day. Some of the negative effects of sleep
deprivation include heart attack, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure and
stroke. Try to get rid of your gadgets if you want to get a good sleep.
Nomophobia
A smartphone
is one of the most popular gadgets many of us cannot do without. In other
words, you are anxious and cannot concentrate because you are not with your
smartphone. This means you have nomophobia (no-mobile-phone-phobia). The
dependence on your mobile can affect your health because you can be depressed
if you are without your phone.You can try to leave your phone at home once in
while.
Obesity
You
spend hours sitting at a particular spot working on your computer or your
phone. Unknown to you, the more you sit down for hours at that same spot daily,
the more you are susceptible or vulnerable to obesity. If you want to avoid obesity,
stop spending too much time sitting surfing your phone.
Neck and back pain
Neck
and back pain can be unbearable and most people suffer from this because of the
time we spend on our gadgets. This is a health problem that you may overlook
but if you are not careful, the neck and back pain may worsen and you may be
required to go to the doctor.
