Tq for the nice sharing janatul..yaa i agree that technology have their weakness and strength..for instance its make life easier but can make the health weaknesses..so as the tertier student we should learn how to balance to use the technology and also aware about the healthy life so that we also can achieve our dream to become beneficial person
In my opinion, with the advance of technology nowadays, we actually earn more benefit as we use it wisely. Smart wear like Mi band or apple watch which function as a tracker, keep tracing one's heartbeat, walking distance and remind his owner to move around if he or she sit too long time(one hour). I believe such function actually increase or improve one's healthy which justify my statement earlier, technology bring more advantage if we use it wisely.
ReplyDeleteTrue enough that today's technology has made its way through alot of changes and upgrades. But one of the most useful things I find about technology is that it helps keep track of our daily routine and lifestyle. This way, it would be hard for us to stray away from a healthy lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteI believe that everything comes with advantages and disadvantages. The argument of technology brings benefits or defects to the society is still going on. However, I think that it depends on the way we utilise the technology as to make it into a benefit or destruction. Hence, it is advisable for us to be wise in using technology.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree that technologies provide us with various channels and information to lead a healthy lifestyle. However, I think that what makes us healthy the most is stepping out from our indoor compound, getting rid of our gadgets, and start doing outdoor activities.
ReplyDeleteI do agree that technology making our life easier but we doing more out door activities in order maintain our health cause staying for hours infront of computer are not good for our health. But nice sharing Janatul, I just know that nowadays we do have apps to measure certain disease.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do agree that technology brings a lot of benefits for human health. And more diseases can be detected faster and accurate with new technology. Most of my friends will also wearing a smart watch to maintain their body health through observe their sleeping quality, heart beat, and so on.
