reduced face-to-face interactions, and changes in the
way we perceive ourselves and others due to curated
online personas.

efficiency, reduce errors, and perform
tasks that are dangerous or difficult for
humans.

Inevitably, automation leads to job
displacement and can widen the
economic gap between skilled and
unskilled workers.

new skills to keep pace with the
changing job market. It’s time to start
investing in education.

Far-reaching impacts
Surveillance can have negative
impacts on our personal lives, causing
us to feel unsafe and monitored in our

empowers corporations to profit off
our data, and raises ethical concerns
regarding data privacy.
Need for regulation
It is time for lawmakers to recognize
the importance of individual privacy
and balance it with the emerging
needs of technological innovation.
6. Virtual Reality and Technology Addiction
On a positive note
VR can be used for therapy,
training, and education, however,
its immersive quality can lead to
addiction and excessive screen
time.
Consequences of addiction
Addiction can lead to physical
symptoms such as headaches and
eye strain, and can also cause
social isolation and damage
productivity.
Creating balance
It is our responsibility to manage
our use of technology and seek a
balance between real and virtual
life.
