Psychological and Physical attachment to technology? Prized Possessions with Proceeding Problems...

In this modern day society it is fair to say that most teenagers and older aged people now have a cell phone and some sort of music player (iPod, Mp3 etc...) Once we start to use our new devices we can get attached so easily. We are constantly checking our cell phones for messages daily and get anxious and worried if it is left at home. Laptops are more commonly seen used in lectures and listening to music through ear phones when bored. This can have both good and bad effects but it seems the good pleasures outweigh the bad.
Damaging effects of listening through ear phones include slow damage to our hearing. The use of computers and laptops for long period of time can also slowly damage our eyesight. We all know this but still continue to rely on technology for entertainment and work maybe sometimes too often. Instead of going outside to play sports or exercise some stay inside watching TV or play on the computer. Obesity is increasing in some countries too. Psychological and physical attributes link together when concerning people’s attachment to technology.
While most are aware of these effects most think it is worth it. We tell ourselves we need to use technology and now has become a necessity. That is now what most people believe due to our technological practice every day that it is a part of us.
