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.

GIVEN ANY GADGET UNTIL THEY REACH A CERTAIN AGE. SLEEP
DISORDERS ARE CAUSED BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT USE OF
GADGETS.
