Psychological distress can come fae maladaptive uiss o the internet an mobile phones, inspecially whan fowk is iverly aiccessible on their phone or on the computer late at nicht. 8 An this dint tae yer heid is aw the mair a gray gate while fowk is in the fou coorse o growthe their brains isnae fou developpit yet. 7 An than there’s the connection wi doun-castin. Whiles the short term uiss o mobile phones disnae hae ony eftercome on the chance o fowk gittin acoustic neuroma, lang term uissage can hae a significant eftercome on fowk haein mair aften acoustic neuroma. Acoustic neuroma is a kin o tumour that can gar a body lose their hearin an balance. On tap o the eftercomes on social an cognitive skeels, we can gang intae the eftercomes o surfeit uiss on ither aspects o halth, like acoustic neuroma, doun-castin an stress. Ither social skeels include kennin whan tae speak, whit tae say, in general hou tae interact in company.Ĭognitive skeels is affectit an aw whan we uise computers, acause it causes problems wi sleep an concentration. 3 4 An this is true yet whan the television they’re watchin is specifically myntit for eddication! 5 An, gif they dinnae hear ither humans speakin wi them, they’ll niver learn. Sae, in general, weans that sits in front o screens, gif it’s smartphones or television or whitivver, learn tae speak later, an less, compared wi ither bairns. An bairns can anerly learn leids by interaction (wi responses) wi ither human beins. Social skeels, like learnin leids, is gey an important for wir species.
1 A New Zealand study shaws that weans that watch less television git their equivalent o Highers aither than them that watches mair television. A study by Dimitri Christakis (o the Seattle Children Research Institute at the University o Washington) haes shawn that television haes negative eftercomes on the psychological development o bairns, as weel as their learnin an their halth. They miss oot on social an cognitive skeels, as weel as emotional intelligence. The warst victims o this (amang wir ain species) is bairns an teenagers.
Scientists ken smartphones reduce concentration an IQ an yet some fowk gang on them insteid o talkin wi fowk in front o them. This is juist a ensaumple o the fact that fowk maks nimious uiss o technology, inspecially digital technology, thir days. For wir psychological growthe, as weel as ither aspects o wir halth, digital communication micht get yer wirds throu tae the ither body, but it’s sae sib tae real life communication as Jackie Stuart is tae the heir o the Jacobites.Īn ensaumple o this eftercome o digital technology on wir weelfare is the mismeysome oncome ’ithin the past decade: fowk gaun aboot their day ’ithoot takkin tent o ither fowk aboot them, heid plottit in a mobile phone. But, at the same time, digital technology can distract us fae actual real life human traffeck that we war born for. We can keep in touch wi freends an faimily on the ither side o the warld. An that’s braw A wadnae can write this airticle itherwise.
On the ither haund, technology can cause hashery for the feck o humanity, whether it’s technology that’s uised for killin fowk (like nuclear wappens) or connachin wir environs (like fossil fuels), or connachin wir brain cells, like whit we’ll see efter in this airticle.ĭigital technology is a fair guid ensaumple o the foresaid general description o technology: wi it, we can communicate wi fowk the ither side o the warld. On the ae haund, technology in general can help us redd up problems: technology can allou us tae dae mony things fae the maist basic huntin gibbles tae space shuttles. Technology can hecht possibilities we wadnae itherwise hae. Technology, an the mair by taiken digital technology, haes baith positive an negative eftercomes.
