Reflection:"Health Today"

     "Technostress"is caused by a dependence of technology. Technology has come a long way and has many benefits, however when people would rather use technology instead of human interaction it becomes a problem. An estimated 25% of people are distracted by using phones or music devices. The over usage of cell phones can also cause health problems. Repetitive stress injury causes pain, swelling,or numbness of the thumb from text too much. Other injuries include; stressed muscles, ligaments and tendons, back pain, neck cramps, and carpal tunnel syndrome that comes from sitting at a computer/laptop in excess. Preventative measures can be taken by setting limits on daily technology usage.
