EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGY ON

HUMAN LIFE

N E D Y M A G A LY M O R A L E S D I A Z
TECHNOLOGY AFFECTS OUR SLEEPING HABITS

Technology has definitely

impacted how we sleep.
Many of us stay up far too
late into the night texting
friends or scrolling through
social media.

The late-night use of

devices alters our brain's
production of melatonin,
the sleep hormone, which
makes it harder for us to
get a good night’s sleep.
TECHNOLOGY ISOLATES US FROM THE OTHERS

The attachment to our devices

can also leave us feeling
isolated. A significant lack of
human contact can even cause
depression. When the majority
of our interactions with others
take place online we may even
feel disconnected from
humanity. Sometimes our
online friends are not really
friends at all.
 TECHNOLOGY PROMOTES A MORE SEDENTARY
LIFESTYLE

This may be one of the biggest

drawbacks of a device-filled world. Kids
who play video games constantly and
those who spend a great deal of their
time online don’t get as much physical
exercise.
TECHNOLOGY IS A CONSTANT SOURCE OF
DISTRACTION.

Having every answer in the

world constantly at our
fingertips is a massive source
of distraction. It might be as
simple as troubles holding a
conversation to difficulty
keeping your phone out of
your hand while driving
THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY MAY STUNT THE
IMAGINATION IN CHILDREN.

How has technology

changed the world we live in
when it comes to our
children's imagination?
Those of us who are older
probably remember playing
in a cardboard box or
making a fort out of blankets
in the living room. Our
imaginations were endless
because it's all we had
