Even now when the entirety is not digital yet, many people are becoming couch potatoes, and living a sedentary lifestyle.

Look at the kids today. You can rarely see them playing outdoor games. Looking back when I was young, we go out to play with our playmates. Kids are much healthier then. Many children today are unhealthy and overweight or obese because they don't play physical games anymore. They are stuck in their gadgets playing games, online or offline. Their eyes is even more at risk to have blurry vision because of extreme exposure to radiation at a young age.

Even adults are becoming sedentary as well. Many are prone to diabetes because they were sitting pretty doing online stuff. What more when everything was already digital?

Of course, we should not undermine the benefits of digital technology. They boost businesses' growth, provides a lot of jobs, and to provide services easier during this era of fast-paced life. In fact, technology can also help to have good fitness through fitness trackers.

What can we do is to budget our time. Spare some time to have a walk outdoors and exercise. Move your body to lose the fats accumulated from sitting. Do not over-exposed yourself to the technology. Give yourself a balance in using these digital technologies.
