How does excessive use of technology impact the physical health of a user ?

Excessive use of technology can have several impacts on physical health:

1. Impact on Hearing — Listening to loud music for over 15 minutes can cause hearing damage. Using headphones for long periods increases bacteria in the ears by over 700 times.

2. Impact on Bones and Joints — Technology affects posture due to prolonged sitting and repetitive movements, leading to muscle and joint strain. Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs) affect muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, and joints.

3. Eye Problems — Constant screen exposure from smartphones, laptops, and computers can damage vision, especially due to blue light, leading to potential vision loss. Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is a related eye condition.

4. Sleep Issues — Excessive device use disrupts sleep due to bright screen light suppressing melatonin production. Poor sleep impacts cognitive function, memory, and attention span.
