Well some of the medical issues we have today are a result of modern technology. Obesity, diabetes, laziness is all a result of mass production. If it wasnt for modern technology and certain producing methods, we wouldnt have McDonalds and all the other fast food industries. Modern technology is also the result of certain cancers, such as the drinking water in Long Island, NY coming from reservoirs tainted by poorly disposing of batteries and the chemicals leaking into the soil. Microwave radiation, cell phone radiation etc. We also have certain forms of hearing disabilities, learning disabilities, social disorders which all have increased due to technology such as TV, Computers, headphones etc. Humans have lived with a smaller amount of these issues without technology. Sure some medicinal innovations were made, but a majority of them were made to combat the issues caused by the innovations we made, especially during the industrial revolution.
