Technology Addiction

It appears that most of us would be lost in the world without our smartphones, laptops,
or tablets. The main factor causing this connection is the development of technology itself.
People are drawn more and more to using technological advancements to make their life more
convenient. This relationship allows us to see how humanity is gradually disappearing, leading
to three important problems: social, psychological, and physical. People today are so reliant on
technology that they exhibit withdrawal symptoms when they don't have access to it, according
to a newspaper article by acclaimed author Walden Siew (2010) for The Gazette.

What effects are modern technology and electronic devices having on us? With the
ability to interact and play games on electronic devices, we no longer require leaving the house
to go on trips or visit with friends. We can get all the information and entertainment we need
from a single device, but even though technological advancements might seem good for us and
the younger generations, there are a number of drawbacks, including cyberbullying, suicidal
thoughts, depression, obesity, addiction, illiteracy, behavioral issues, and others.
