Does the modern technological world do more harm than good to the body?

Pro #1

Free Time

Evidence/Explanation

People have more free time than they used to. This is because of technology and how it can take over certain jobs. This helps more people focus on hobbies.

Pro #2

Can Detect Diseases Faster

Evidence/ Explanation

There are more ways to detect diseases and cure them earlier. This is due to things like pacemakers, cobalt bombs, and ultrasounds.

Pro #3

Agricultural Productivity

Evidence/Explanation

Agriculture is more productive now because they produce more crops. This is done with the help of machines to water and fertilize.

Con #1

Pollution

Evidence/Explanation

Most technologies contain non-biodegradable materials that can leak into the ground. This can contaminate our food and water and hurt the animals nearby. Technology is also constantly being updated which causes about 50 million tonnes of waste every year.

Con #2

Social Isolation

Evidence/Explanation

Many people spend their free time on their phones. This takes over time that they could be socially interacting with others. This causes people to feel extra lonely and disconnected

Con #3

Increased Health Risks

Evidence/Explanation

People will spend too much time on technology. This can cause people to have insomnia because they are staying up late on their phones because it reduces melatonin. Technology can also affect people because it can cause obesity. This is because people tend to eat while using technology and not focus on how much they're eating.

Conclusion

In conclusion I believe that technology can be good or bad. However I feel like it does more harm than good. This is because there are more risks to the public. There are pros but they're only if you have diseases or have busy or straining jobs.
