As a result of electronic inventions such as computer and television, people do less physical activity, and this is having a negative effect on their health. To what extent do you agree?

In the Fourth Industrial Revolution, many people spending a lot of time using modern devices instead of doing physical activities, and it is thought to have resulted in the poor health condition of those people. In my opinion, notwithstanding the advantages of modern technology, the development of technology may contribute to several negative effects on humans’ physical and mental elements.

There is no doubt that modern technology has a variety of benefits that meet the demand of humans. A lot of people using technological devices in their work and study. Besides, they use modern types of equipment for entertainment such as playing video games, listening to music, reading online newspapers, watching movies. For instance, in the covid - 19 pandemics, people are being quarantined, so they have to work from home and using technological devices for very long hours. As a result, they do not have enough time to do physical activities and play sports.

Lack of physical activity can lead to various health issues, especially in physical and mental elements. Because people sitting the whole day in front of the screens, the layer from the screens can radiate the eyes of viewers, which conduce to shortsightedness, and worse, blindness. Besides, people who do less physical activity may suffer from obesity and osteoarthritis. Moreover, since they spent a lot of time using technological platforms, their mental health can be seriously affected. The radiation from these devices can lead to sleeplessness and depression. For example, many people felt tired and could not sleep after long hours using computers and smartphones.

In conclusion, the development of technology brings out numerous benefits. However, it also causes many severe problems with humans’ health in both physical and mental elements. Therefore, people should use technological devices at reasonable times and spend more time doing physical activities.
