Definitely. When I was a kid, I was not aware of the importance of good health. You know, I never thought much about keeping fit. It was my mom then who was always concerned about my health, even more than hers, so I just left it to her. But now, as I’ve moved out to live alone, I have to be responsible for my own health by, for example, staying away from junk food or working out on a regular basis.

If we’re talking about stuff like computers or mobile phones, I guess they do have many harmful effects on the health of users.

However, these problems seem to be trivial compared to the huge benefits that technology has brought to healthcare.
