Hello all friends of "Steemit" today I would like to share with you my opinion, about the consequences that technological progress has brought to us living beings and to the planet itself as such.

First of all, I want to talk a little about what technology is in our daily lives.

Technology is present in virtually every aspect of our daily lives. In the workplace, technological tools such as computers, smartphones, software and programs are essential to perform daily tasks and increase efficiency at work. At home, high-tech appliances such as smart refrigerator, washing machine, smart TV among others, make household tasks easier and more efficient.

Communication has also improved. Social networks and instant messaging applications allow us to stay connected with friends and family at all times. In addition, technology has made it possible for us to work and study from anywhere in the world, thanks to videoconferencing tools and online educational platforms.

Technological advances have improved the quality of life for people with disabilities. Assistive devices and technological prostheses have enabled people with disabilities to lead fuller and more independent lives.

However, overuse of technology can have negative effects on our health and our interaction with others. It is important to find a balance and use technology consciously and responsibly.

Technology has had both positive and negative effects on our lives and society in general. Some of the consequences I have observed are:

  1. dependence: the overuse of technology has led to over-dependence in many aspects of our daily lives. For example, dependence on cell phones and social networks can lead to addiction and lack of social skills.

  2. Distracting attention: Technologies such as social networks, games and television can distract our attention from important tasks and reduce our ability to focus on work.

  3. Sedentary: New technologies have made it easier for us to stay in one place for long periods of time, which has led to an increase in health problems related to sedentary lifestyles.

  4. Psychological effects: Social networks and other forms of technology can have negative psychological effects such as increasing anxiety and depression, as well as reducing self-esteem.

  5. Inequality: Technology has also created a digital divide, with people in rural and low-income areas having less access to the latest technologies, which can increase their social isolation and limit their opportunities.

  6. Job changes: Automation and robotics are changing the labor market, making some jobs obsolete and requiring new skills for others.

  7. Pollution and climate change: Technology has also generated new environmental problems, such as the production and disposal of e-waste, and the carbon footprint generated by technology.

CONCLUSION

As a conclusion, I would like to say that technology, has made us more self-sufficient, we can do practically nothing where there is no wifi, or an internet network, our jobs stopped being manual to be nowadays, office jobs. As it can also be said, that technological advances are leaving us without work, because many large companies are replacing human labor, by robots.
