The ubiquity of technology, the endless improvement of smartphones and the increase in the speed of mobile Internet brings a lot of positive. But everything is good in moderation. Excessive enthusiasm for the pursuit of likes, online games and web surfing at night can lead to ailments, both physical and mental. I have prepared a list with descriptions of the most common problems, in which, perhaps, you will find your symptoms. As well as a list of many advantages.

Pros of using gadgets and PC

PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones are good because they provide access to information on the Internet and allow you to use various programs. The following positive aspects of using these devices can be distinguished:

1. The development of fine motor skills. Work on devices with a joystick, buttons and touchscreen (touch screen) allow you to develop fingers and train fine motor skills. And tracking the movement of a computer mouse on the screen allows you to train your attention.

2. . Education of primary school students. Occurs with the help of special educational programs and games using visual images and active forms of work of the child himself. Very good games in which the child is offered a problem situation and needs to find its solution, analyzing the source data, doing search and research activity. For example, it can be games with building letters from lines, correlating concepts with images, etc.

3. Access directly from home to a lot of useful information. On the Internet, students can read the latest news, find texts of books, find interesting information about a great discovery, traveler, historical event, etc. The advantage of the Internet over a library is the instant receipt of new information.

4. Formation of the skills of students to search and filter information. This skill is most actively formed in adolescence. The abundance of various information sites puts the student in need to analyze all the information received and select reliable information from them. In addition to the ability to search and filter information, it also develops critical thinking ability.

5. Communication with classmates and teachers. Very good special blogs and groups in social networks created for students of a particular class. Here, the teacher and students can exchange information and news, discuss disputed issues, discuss read works, work together on projects, etc.

6. The use of gadgets has many advantages, however, some rules must be followed so as not to harm health.

Cons of using gadgets and PC

Frequent and irregular use of gadgets can lead to a number of negative consequences:

1. Health problems. Frequent sitting at a computer or tablet can lead to redness and dry eyes, impaired vision, impaired posture, muscle problems (from their prolonged immobility), oxygen starvation of the brain (as a result of squeezing of blood vessels and lack of fresh air), sleep disorders.

2. Psychological problems. Children who use gadgets a lot and spend little time with their peers from an early age may have problems with social adaptation. It is difficult for them to communicate with people, find a common language with them, they are timid and shy, know little about life outside the computer and often get lost in real life situations.

3. Dependence. This is the most serious consequence of using PCs and gadgets. It is formed under the influence of many aspects (frequent use of the device, lack of other interests in life, personal problems, etc.) and has a number of symptoms.

Environmental Protection

Some hundreds of years ago people lived in harmony with nature, because industry was not much developed. Today, however, the contradictions between man and nature are dramatic.

The twenty first century is a century of the scientific and technological progress. The achievements of the mankind in mechanization and automation of industrial processes, in chemical industry and conquering outer space, in the creation of atomic power stations and ships are amazing. But at the same time, this progress gave birth to a very serious problem – the problem of environment.

Ecology and the contamination of environment, is concerned with climate, over-population in certain areas, deaths of plant and animals, chemical contamination of seas, lakes and rivers as well as atomic experiments and dumping of atomic waste from power stations. Floods, unexpected draughts, and the greenhouse effect are the next reasons.

There are many consequences of damaging the environment. One of them is acid rain. Another one is water shortage resulting from abuse of arable lands in agriculture. The third one is destroying the ozone layer of the Earth through pollution from factories and plants. The fourth problem is damage o water and soils.

The fifth one is damage to wildlife: numerous species of animals and plants can disappear. At last, the most serious danger arising from damaging the environment is the result of the abovementioned consequences. This is the danger for the life and health of the man.

The protection of natural resources and wildlife is becoming a political programme in every country. Numerous anti-pollution acts passed in different countries led to considerable improvements in environment. In many countries purifying systems for treatment of industrial waters have been installed, measures have been taken to protect rivers and seas from oil waters.

But the environmental problems have grown beyond the concern of a single country. Their solution requires the co-operation of all nations. If we are unable to learn to use the environment carefully and protect it from damage caused by man’s activities, very soon we’ll have no world to live in.

Environmental protection is a practice of protecting the environment, on individual, organizational or governmental level, for the benefit of the natural environment and (or) humans. Due to the pressures of population and our technology the biophysical environment is being degraded, sometimes permanently.

This has been recognized and governments began placing restraints on activities that caused environmental degradation. Since the 1960s activism by the environmental movement has created awareness of the various environmental issues. There is not a full agreement on the extent of the environmental impact of human activity and protection measures are occasionally criticized.

Academic institutions now offer courses such as environmental studies, environmental management and environmental engineering that study the history and methods of environmental protection. Protection of the environment is needed from various human activities. Waste, pollution, loss of biodiversity, and the introduction of invasive species are some of the issues relating to environmental protection.
