Negative Effects of Technology Technology has had a negative effect on people’s lives. Technology has distracted kids, caused accidents, and health problems. It’s actually kind of sad. Technology has negatively affected kids in such a huge way, especially in schools. Most kids claim they’re bored so they pull out their cell phones or Ipods. Their attention span isn’t but so big, so they tend to get distracted easily by fumbling with their phones and playing games. This is why phones aren’t allowed in most schools today.

Also talking on the phone can cause cancer. Of course a person wouldn’t get cancer just by one phone call, it would take some time. Another major health problem caused by technology is Carpal tunnel syndrome. Texting excessively can damage the nerves in someone’s hands and fingers, causing numbness, tingling, and weakness. These are just a few health problems caused by technology. It’s just amazing how something created by man can cause so many negative things to happen. Just by being on a cell phone while driving could cost someone their life, having a cell phone or Ipod out could cost a
