"Technology, the Cause of Possible Mutilation and the Murder of Small Talk"

Today I read "Technology, the Cause of Possible Mutilation and the Murder of Small Talk", which is about the harsh reality of modern use of technology. I couldn't agree more with Ijeoma Anaka, who is the author of this article. Not only does technology, such as iPhones, Laptops, and etc damage our social skills, but also our ability to communicate with others. Studies have also shown that not only does technology has a negative affect on one's social skills, but also along with one's physical health. For example, after being engrossed digital activities for extended time period. When one is regularly bending their neck downward, which puts stress upon one's neck, shoulder, and their spine. One might even develop a condition known as "Text Neck" or "Smartphone Slump", observed the photo below.

Yet despite this, this s a modern postural condition is treatable; either with surgery or practice proper posture exercises. Also one might considering managing their screen time, whilst online and consuming meaningless content. Scrolling day and night, absorbing worthless and irrelevant entertainment. Sounds depressing, especially one can use that time to spend with loved ones, or even developing new hobbies. On the final note, I will say. I am not opposed of technology, however I will prefer to limit our uses.Life has meaning, being able to communicate and connect with others has more value than what the screen has to offer. Technology cannot compete with friends and family. Thank you again for taking the time to read my blog. Image Source: The Best Exercises & Tips to Avoid Text Neck and Neck Pain
