Smart technology has played a major role not only in the workplace but also in the home and it has come on massively over the last number of years. Due to the technological advancements, we all are living a comfortable and advanced lifestyle but I believe it also brings us several negative impacts. Although they have a great deal of advantages, there are many negative effects of technology and its overuse, as well. Physical effects of modern lifestyle habits especially screen time and the lack of physical activity raise the risk of getting diseases.

Low physical activity levels can contribute to heart disease, obesity some chronic illnesses.

Nowadays, most houses have at least one household appliance such as a washing machine, rice cooker, and vacuum cleaner. It has reduced a lot of time in my areas particularly in cooking, washing, and cleaning but it has cost us dearly.
