What are the Negative impacts of IT?

Answer 1

Although Information technology could have a wider meaning in today's time however it is a general term that describes any technology that helps to produce, store and distribute information mostly computer based. Even TV, cell phones and internet could come under this umbrella as communicators.

With communications system being what it is today there is the fear of information going into wrong hands resulting in dire consequences. Terrorists using information that is so easily available is a fear that the world is most concerned about.

This approach has kept people at bay. There is no interaction with one another. The real world is slowly getting transformed into a virtual world and people seem to be opting for that approach for keeping in touch with each other. The human touch is sadly missing.

This mechanized approach has also reduced the number of jobs specially in the clerical field as manual data collection is no longer necessary. Joblessness means more unrest among the youth

The close contact with the devices that produce, store and disseminate information is hazardous to health and cancer is one of the diseases that have been attributed to such contacts.

With the rush for jobs in the filed of Information Technology as more and more youth opt for this line there is an unrealistic imbalance in the various jobs available and the candidates who are fit to take up the various jobs other than those pertaining to Information Technology.

No one knows what the future holds. With a thirst for fine tuning more shocks could be in store.
