Health & Relationships
As technology continues its rapid growth, ushering in an era of all-round

connectivity and convenience, there is a growing concern about the simultaneous
decline in overall health. Despite the promises of innovation improving our lives,
there's a paradoxical relationship between the rise of technology and the fall of
our well-being. With technology assisting people in their sphere, humans are
getting over-dependent and less responsible for themselves. There are various
elements visible in mankind that are offspring of technological advancement.
Sedentary Lifestyles and Obesity.
One of the most dreadful outcomes of the innovative upset is the shift towards
inactive ways of life. The predominance of cell phones, PCs, and real-time features
has prompted a decline in active work. Whether it's marathon watching Programs,
working in a work area for broadened hours, or taking part in perpetual looking
via web-based entertainment, the stationary idea of these exercises adds to an
ascent in corpulence rates. The absence of standard activity negatively affects
cardiovascular well-being, digestion, and general wellness.
High Screen-time And Low sleep time.
The all-round availability of screens in our lives has led to a significant increase in
screen time, especially among younger generations. Excessive screen exposure,
particularly before bedtime, disrupts the natural sleep cycle. The blue light
emitted by screens interferes with the production of melatonin, a hormone crucial
for regulating sleep. Even though the use of computer glasses may help high
screen time badly affects the human sleep pattern. Sleep deprivation as a product
of prolonged screen usage, has more mental problems than physical ones like
anxiety, agitation, disorders, and so on.
Mental Health Challenges.
While technology has facilitated communication and access to information, it has
contributed to a rise in mental health challenges. Social media platforms, despite
connecting people across the globe, contribute to a culture of comparison,
cyberbullying, and anxiety. The constant access to curated, idealized lives on social
media platforms ( which sometimes prove to be fake) can lead to the
development of feelings of lacking something and low self-esteem, impacting
mental health negatively.
Blue Light and Eye Problems
Optical problems are also a result of this. Prolonged use of screens leads to
complexities such as eye fatigue, headaches, and blurred vision. The blue light
emitted by screens badly affects sleep quality. With individuals spending more
time on screen for work, education, and entertainment, the importance of eye
health become a growing concern.
No More Physical Touch to Relationships.
Even though technology has filled the oceans and stretched the distance between
people, it has changed the nature of face-to-face social interactions. The
convenience of texting and online communication can lead to decreased in-person
socializing. Any level of digital presence and friendship can fall short when
compared to physical interaction. The importance of genuine human connection
for mental and emotional well-being cannot be overstated. The decline in physical
social interaction may contribute to feelings of loneliness and isolation. The virtual
interactions seem to replace the tangible ones but only to impact overall health.
To Sum up.
Growth is a part and parcel of mankind and cannot be lived without. However, it
can be determined how it can affect the life, and health of humans. From
sedentary lifestyles and sleep disruption to mental health challenges, the negative
side of the process is visible. Striking a balance between harnessing the benefits
of technology and nullifying its adverse effects is necessary to promote an all-
round well-being in the digital age. To sum up it’s to say that we have an element
in our hand, and to use it to thrive the human existence and make it joyful or to
mitigate the same is also in the same hands.
