Nowadays people depend on technology in their free time.
Is this a positive or negative development?


People are increasingly using technology in their leisure time. There are some positive effects associated with this change, such as instant access to entertainment and chance for staying connected. However, this development is mostly negative as it can lead to sedentary lifestyle and addiction.

With technology, whole new types of entertainment are at our fingertips. People can watch movies, play games, listen to music, and surf social media from the comfort of their home. By contrast, alternative ways, such as going to the cinema, concerts, and playing outdoor games, would require time, money and energy. Another positive is the opportunity to socialize. Whether it be talking to a relative, sending a video to a friend, or checking up on colleagues, the internet allows people to keep in touch despite geographical boundaries.

Despite this, I tend to view this trend negatively. The main concern is the health issues that may result from spending too much time with technology. When people use technology in their free time, they naturally spend less time on exercise. The lack of physical activity has long been associated with several health problems, ranging from poor posture to more severe conditions like obesity and eye sight deterioration. Even worse, people can form addiction. The excessive usage of the internet in free time, for example, can lead to dependence on it. As a result, the urge to check notifications while working or studying can result in divided attention, ultimately impacting people’s overall productivity.

In conclusion, technology does offer some benefits for those who use it in their free time, such the easy access to entertainment and socializing. That said, the overall impact of such a habit is undesirable as it can affect people’s physical as well as mental well-being.
