technology now has come a long way. now, there are gadgets and inventions that we have never dreamed of becoming a reality before. but does the technology that we rely on to make our lives easier has actually made us more lazy and unhealthy? sometimes, we spend hours and hours in front of the computer with just one click away in accomplishing our errands and usual tasks..shopping, ordering food, sending mails, etc. technology has made our lives too easy that some people abuse its use. in a way, technology and gadgets has contributed in the growing population of obesity. movement and walking has been reduced, which is a person's usual exercise, and in turn, it results to a weaker and unhealthy body. i think the best way to live a healthy and fruitful life is to have a balance use of technology and man power. :-)

Maybe it does that to some people, but not to everyone surely. I think a lot of people are really aware of health issues etc. these days, so they do both: use modern technology and take care of their health as well.
