12 Negative Effects Of Gadgets On Your Health

Isn't technology an integral part of our daily life? People around the world rely on gadgets for things like communication, organisation and employment. Everyday, we see people talking on their cell phone, tapping away on a laptop or listening to their MP3 or Ipod. While technology is impressive, there are certain drawbacks in areas like health, public safety and education that should be addressed as well. Being aware of these dangers can help diminish or reverse these negative effects of gadgets we use. 
 The first of the many gadgets that comes to mind are mobile phones, camera and laptop. There are a lot more gadgets which have been introduced in the 21st century which are causing a lot of health problems. These health problems, due to the continuous use of gadgets, have spoiled the lives of young children too. The use of a gadget has become so important that people do not have the ability to stay without it too. Here are some of the negative effects of using gadgets on our health:
 

Aggression 
Children become aggressive when it comes to gadgets. This is one of the effects of using gadgets.


Obesity
 You become a couch potato once you have a gadget in hand. Playing a game or fiddling with a gadget makes you hungry and unknowingly you begin to binge on food without moving an inch from the couch, thus adding to the pounds of weight.

Sleep Disorders
 This is one of the main reasons why children should not be given any gadget until they reach a certain age. Sleep disorders are caused because of the constant use of gadgets.

Dry Eyes
 Do you have a constant itch in your eye? If you do, then it is because of the strain you put on your eyes. The constant strain leads to a dry eye which in turn leads to multiple eye infections.
Hearing Problems It is believed, according to experts, that 85 decibels could turn the microscopic hair of the inner ears into scar tissue if done habitually. This is one of the main ways how gadgets affect your health.

Leads To Infidelity 
Using a cellphone for more than 18 hours in the day can decrease the production of sperms in a man. This is one of the negative effects of using gadgets.

Cancer Ionising 
radiation is a cancer causing agent. This radiation leads to cancer like leukemia, skin, thyroid, breast and stomach cancer.

Back Pain 
One of the effects of use of gadgets on your health is multiple back pains. As you are constantly engaged on the gadget in a sitting up posture, it affects your back.

Stress Stress is developed with every gadget you use to communicate. The wait for an important phone call or a skype chat for an interview builds up that extra tension in your mind, thus leading to stress which in turn affects your health.

Lose Track Of Your Surrounding 
The worst negative effect of gadgets is that you tend to lose track of your surroundings since you are intoxicated with technology.

Risk During Pregnancy
 One of the negative effects of gadgets on your health is during pregnancy. The radiation from the gadget slows down the rate of brain development of the foetus and may even lead to hyper activity.
