Technology Leading to Health Hazards
Overview:
You wake up one fine morning hoping it to be a beautiful day and just then you see a message popup on your mobile screen, ‘A sad Demise of your colleague’. Well let me tell you this colleague of yours was just in his early 30s. Reason for death was heart attack. A healthy guy with good workout routine, yet succumbed to one of the most unlikely cause of death. WHY?
If we look around us there is a gradual increase in the number of such cases. However, we all know that there is a lot of ambiguity in reasons behind such ends.

A Story of reality: Let me tell you a story. This story is about you and your future you. Imagine your current-self standing with an imaginary person Mr. Future You and this Mr. Future You is a bulky man with a huge tummy, bald, currently diagnosed with a lot of diseases. Cannot sleep peacefully at night. But this guy has a very big bank balance and takes a very fat pay check from the people he works for. He works for a huge organization and all the time he is surrounded by technology.
To achieve all of this he sacrificed a lot. More importantly he sacrificed his health. He never used to sleep on time, never used to eat on time, you can say he was least bothered of his health when mattered the most. And finally he achieved what he wanted in his 30s. But wait! Achieving all of this means he should be satisfied. And you know what he isn’t satisfied even a bit.
When he is done for the day from work, he gets involved in his mobile and when he wants to travel even a few block he has his highly autonomous air conditioned car waiting for him. His home is taken over by IoT. He just commands and things gets done for him. He just commands and food gets delivered to him. All junky fatty food.
And all of sudden one day he starts feeling uneasy and is rushed to nearby hospital and gets diagnosed with so many diseases. Now what? He is left with no option but to empty his savings. The health he sacrificed to achieve all this is asking back everything he achieved to sort the health out.
