Sure, we enjoy the evolution of technology, but few people

realize how dengerous it is to our body or mind.

I know that you are aware of these, but what are you going to

do about it?

In this presentation you will find the most common diseases

caused by technology.

Vision Problems:

People who spend hours in front of the computer are

prone to Asthenopia. Some monitors affect us more than

others. This desease is manifested by symptoms such as

eye redness, dryness and burning feeling, blurred or

double vision.

Deafness:

It became a habit to listen music on headphones as loud

possible, to cover all the surrounding noises. After several

years of such treatment, your hearing will start loosing its

capabilities.

Thrombosis:

The disease occurs at people who are sitting more than 8

hours a day. Basically, you are slowing the blood flow to the

legs. This desease is manifested by the appearance of a

blood clot in leg veins.

Sick building syndrome:

I know, you love that new office, but this syndrome occurs in people who

work or live in a new or recently renovated modern building.

This buildings usually have efficient insulation with a complete insulation

systemand possibly, windows that don´t open. All this hithech stuff

actually makes you sick.

Symptoms include headaches, eye, throat or nose irritation, cough, dry

or itchy skin, even nausea, fatigue and increased sensitivity to odors.
