Some people say that modern innovation brings about more problems than benefits? Do you agree or disagree?

#people #innovation
Nowadays, the benefits of modern technology have begun to become a major debate topic, as many believe that there are more negative effects than positives.
This
 essay will discuss the reasons why I agree with
this
 notion
as well as
 my opinion on the matter.  Because of modern technology, the greatest electronics were invented and built, just like; phones, TVs and gaming consoles. These inventions,
however
,
also
 come
along with
 major side effects like weight gain, loss of vision, a hunched back and an indented skull
due to
 prolonged usage of headphone sets when playing games on consoles,
for example
. These gadgets
also
 affect social interactions as they would result in a decline the more people stay indoors, resulting in them isolating and eventually losing the ability to socialise,
therefore
 not making any friends causing them to end up in a depressed state. Mental health will
subsequently
 take a toll and in, turn affect society in
such
 a way that it is no longer functional. To give an example, society is set to collapse and predicted to happen in the near future, because, currently when a child is born they are subjected to watching TV to distract and occupy them, and so, the addiction starts as soon as they are born. In conclusion, in my opinion, I fully agree that there are more adverse effects technology brings about as stated above physical and mental health will become so affected people will no longer be able to live a fulfilled life as they would be too unfit and mentally unstable to do so.
