Today, technology has made our lives easier with the
inventions of electronic appliances and portable gadgets. We can almost do everything with a single
click or command. However, recent
studies show that despite its advantage, we are also putting ourselves at risks
of its disadvantages, particularly health problems.
In a recent article, the top three most common electronic
devices owned by most people living in different countries are television,
computer and car. These devices are what
they usually use in their daily activities.
Because of the convenience these offer, people tend to become
lazier. People spend more time sitting to
watch television or to use the computer than doing other physical
activities. Most of the time, people also
use their private cars for transportation, thus missing out exercise.
Having little or no exercise at all is most likely
the reason why most people today suffer obesity and diabetes. From time
to time, we need to take a break from using these devices and instead, do some
physical activities to burn calories. We
could exercise just by walking or taking public transport to our
destination.
We must consider the pros and cons of using
electronic devices. There may be more
benefits than disadvantages they give; still, we should be conscientious in
using them.
