These newly invented things can be easily manipulated by irresponsible persons that may result to unexpected disaster.Because of these, we'll be too dependent on it resulting for us to be lazy and easy-go-lucky persons. Sometimes, it affects our health and lifestyle because of over-using the high-tech things, taking too much medicines and applying some of it directly to the body in order to be more physically attractive, and specially when somebody would not consult a specialist before the application. It also damages our natural environment because of the negligence  of some users. New technology is naturally destroys our simple and healthy life, because we even don't notice how it spread easily and widely to our society and we now forget some of the traditional way of living.
