Answer

The three health hazards associated with inappropriate and excessive use of gadgets are as follows :

  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.
