In the upcoming days, it is predicted that the well-being of individuals will decline compared to the current state. I completely support this prediction due to the impact of advanced technologies reducing physical activity and social media negatively affecting mental well-being.
Globalization, rapid technological development, and the introduction of AI tools have decreased human labor while also restricting people’s movements. Even in professions like agriculture, advanced technologies are now commonly used, which used to be known for their physical demands. Moreover, people, especially children, are more inclined towards mobile games over outdoor activities, which can have adverse effects on eyesight.
The widespread use of social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram has become very popular today, providing news from around the globe. Continuous exposure to negative news and information can cause people to worry and may lead to social anxiety. In essence, social media reduces face-to-face social interactions, potentially causing conflicts in relationships and increasing the risk of depression. For instance, many individuals have experienced broken marriages due to excessive use of social media, negatively impacting their mental well-being.
If the physical movement of the population diminishes due to advanced technology and social media is not used properly, the overall well-being standards are expected to decline, affecting mental health.
