INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Technology is destroying our minds, bodies, and communities.

Problems of Well-being

Little by little, Internet and mobile technology seems to be

subtly destroying the meaningfulness of interactions we have

with others.

Disconnecting us from the world around us, and leading to an

imminent sense of isolation in today’s society.

Instead of spending time in person with friends, we just call,

text or instant message them.

Technological Detachment is Becoming Today’s Reality

Technological detachment doesn’t just apply to our friends; it

applies to the world around us.

There’s something intangibly real and valuable about talking

with someone face-to-face. It’s significant for friends, partners,

potential employers, and other recurring people that make up

your everyday world.

That person becomes an important existing human connection,

not just someone whose disembodied text voice pops up on

your cell phone, ipad or computer screen.

Technological Detachment in Society

The more advanced society becomes technologically, the more

people begin to depend on computers and other forms of

technology for everyday existence.

This means that when a machine breaks or a computer

crashes, humans become almost disabled until the problem is

resolved.

This kind of dependency on technology puts people at a

distinct disadvantage, because they become less self reliant.

Technological Disadvantages

Technology in Society

The top photo was taken in 2005 – two years before the debut

of the first iphone – when visitors faithfully gathered to witness

Pope John Paul II’s body being carried into the Basilica for

public viewing.

The bottom photo is from 2013 – when Pope Francis made his

inaugural public appearance.

At first glance, these two seem almost ordinary but when

putting them together, any of us can feel the impression of how

technology is changing the world.

Technology in Society (Contd.)

Mobile technology has become an integral part of our lives, but

what most people don’t realize is the potential harm your

mobile device could cause.

Computer Vision Syndrome or CVS, is caused by looking at

screens, including smart phone screens.

Technology is Destroying our Bodies

Cyber Bullying

Cyber bullying affects adolescents and teens on a daily basis.

Cyber bullying involves using technology, like cell phones and

the Internet to bully or harass another person.

In a survey done by Ditch The Label, an anti-bullying charity

from the United Kingdom stated that more than two-thirds of

people aged 13-22 have been bullied online.

Facebook and Twitter were found to be most likely sources for

cyber bullying.

Cyber Bullying from Social Media & Technology

A recent report from the NSPCC, (National Society for the

Prevention of Cruelty to Children) said 20% of children

between 11 and 16 reported bad experiences online last year,

including bullying, unwanted sexual messages and cyber

stalking.
