In this era of technology and the digitalization of everything, people’s lives have become easy and efficient. Mostly, the impacts of technology are positive as they make the work and lives productive. But there can also be disadvantages to the activity levels of people as they are likely to become lazy and with least attention span. It can make people prone to not putting in the effort themselves.

It affects different aspects of their lives like physically and emotionally both. In other words, the overall effect on people is not categorized as good or bad. But we can say that technology sure has an impact on people’s activity levels.

The Impact of Technology on People’s Activity Levels:

Health Issues:

The technological revolution has an inversely proportional impact on the physical activities of people. As they tend to do the work through technology and not themselves. It provides them fewer chances to physically move and do the normal activity. They should have while working things manually on their own. This lack of physical activity can lead them to health issues which can become a major problem for them.

People become lazy too, they prefer doing all their work with a click of a button. And they prefer not going out and spending their time in front of a screen. It has many negative implications like not being socially secure, not being exposed to natural light, not being physically healthy, and another such impacts.

The health issues can include heart disease, diabetes, and depression. Moreover, they are more likely to gain weight and have disturbed sleep cycles. The long sitting hours in front of the screen also tend to make your body posture bad. And other related issues can also arise.

Impacts of Remote working:

Remote working has increased since COVID-19 made people realize the positive and negative impacts of remote working. Remote working requires people to sit and work long hours. That tends to disrupt their daily routine and physical activity. That they could have done if they were working in an office environment.

Remote working does not only create physical health issues, it can also have emotional health issues. Like people can have difficulty separating or balancing their private and work life, while working from the comfort of their homes. It makes the person overwhelmed and difficult to cope in such a situation.

As we mentioned above everything has two sides to the story, online working also has both positive and negative impacts. The positive impact includes the benefit of being able to work while being in the comfort of their home. It creates a safe space for people to work productively as they are not influenced by the fast-paced office environment to cater to. Creativity flows when a person is in a comfortable environment and they can work more.

Moreover, if anyone has any health issues but still wants to work, the remote working option enables them to follow that dream. And enable them to work without having to risk their health more or without being hard on themselves.

Excessively dependent:

People get excessively dependent on technology. So they stop putting up efforts and they don’t even come up with creative ideas that they can do themselves uniquely. Excessive dependence on technology also hurts mental health. Like anxiety, depression, and anger that can come up whenever there is any hindrance for them to use technology. In short, it makes people feel paralyzed, if they are unable to access their devices, whenever they need to do anything.

Educational and insightful learning:

Technology is something that it’s an impact depending on how you use it. So, it depends on the person, if it’s used by someone who wants to gain a lot of knowledge and insights, on their topic of interest and in general, they want to increase knowledge in different topics. Then technology can prove to be a great help for them. They can get a large amount of detailed information, whenever they want through websites, YouTube, and any social media channel.

The education and insightful element of technology is a big and positive impact it can have on people. If we see it in a big picture or bird’s eye view then what better way to gain knowledge, than when you can access it in the comfort of your home and whenever you want it?

Moreover, with the increase in digital learning and different mediums or channels of sharing knowledge like articles, courses, and podcasts, all these mediums provide great length of educational information that helps people with their work and productivity.

Resources for Multiple Income options:

Technology and rapid digitalization allow people to have many sources of income. That can enable them to fulfill or accomplish their sense of creativity and passion for their art or any business idea that they want to work on online. Due to technological advancements, people can work on anything and earn from it like they can be a writer, a designer, a photographer, a small business owner, or anything of that sort. That can make them use their talent to earn. Technology and online sources enable them to have one or more income source. That makes them feel relieved as they do not have to depend on any one source of income.

Great Reach and Awareness:

Technology and digitalization have made it easy for people to build a great sense of reach and awareness for their brands and businesses. Technology enables them to reach a great amount of audiences through social media and other channels. It allows them to break geographical barriers as well, as technology allows them to reach potential audiences, residing outside of their geographical location.

It allows your business to get more customers. And hence more chances of creating goodwill and a good impression on potential customers. A good reach and awareness make the business sound authentic and trustworthy for the target audience. Hence, technology plays a major role for the people and their businesses.

Steps for being active and Productive:

It’s essential to know that technology and its impact depend on the way it is used. We can take various measures to reduce the amount of time we spend on the devices and the technological use overall.

• Start a new hobby that doesn’t need any screen time. It allows you to grow and cultivate your inner self. Moreover, another thing or factor you can add to it is finding more people with the same interests. So that it can be your way to socialize and have a good time.
