There is a suggestion that contemporary technology make greater our material knowledge but had inappropriate conduct to our personal happiness. I completely agree with this statement since technology often harms our mental health and it encourages us to waste our time to unimportant activities.
To begin with, modern technologies such as mobile phones and social media have become increasingly popular among young people. Both of them have been linked to a rise in mental health issues such as anxiety and depression . Nowadays , a significant number of young people have their own phones which they cannot live without it . It also their best friend. Individuals every minute check their phone . It means that they overly dependent on their phone. It leads to harmful behaviors such as anxiety and depression. For example nowadays social media such as instagram, tick tok and youtube shorts has become a very popular . Because all of them shows short video content which leads to us depression. Because every one minute we see new videos and new topics. And our brain should analyze everything. Because of this short videos our brain cannot work well after this our brain cannot give attention to hard tasks such as reading books. Thus , new technology and social media harms our mental health.
Moreover, Technology not only harms our mental health but also wastes our time and energy to unnecessary tasks . By watching short videos we are become more lazy. Because of this we have a lot of problems at school and at work . We do not do everything on time because we spent our time by scrolling through social media. By watching motivational videos at night individuals make a plans for the next day. But they do not do it because they do not sleep enough and their brain already cannot do tasks like that. Moreover, nowadays in significant number of young people do not have friends in real life because instead of building relationships or pursuing hobbies, people often find themselves addicted to screens. In young generation there are more online friends which than real ones. And because of the phone most of them become more Introvert. And modern technology changed everything. For example in the past individuals played football, basketball or even they held bicycle races. But now everyone can these tasks by hand online. And it harms their health and it wastes their time. Therefore, Modern technology encourages people to waste their time to unimportant activities.
In conclusion, although technology enhances our material understanding and knowledge, it often reduces our happiness by negatively affecting mental health and promoting unproductive use of time.
