81 Satirical Illustrations Show Our Addiction To Technology
Modern technologies have definitely benefited our lives - from medical care to work efficiency, communication to space exploration, offering solutions to our world problems. And we just couldn't imagine our lives without it any longer. But with great benefits come many disadvantages. With the rise of the Internet, smartphones, and other similar devices, we are permanently connected to the cyberspace, whether we like it or not. And though it has made our lives more comfortable and entertaining, it has also made us dependable on modern technology and social media. Being online all time is not only possible, but it is also the de facto state for many.
With it comes one of the newest of society problems - social media addiction. It might sound improbable, but depression, unrealistic life expectations, and negative body image are just a few social media effects. And with it being recognized as a real addiction, people now can undergo a social media detox, re-shaping their habits.
The list below of satirical illustrations highlight some of the impacts of social media and general addiction to technology. Scroll down to see for yourself; hopefully, you will not be able to recognize yourself in these drawings, or if you do, it's never too late to get help.

he differentiates from others by being an outside person while others are more into electronic devices
People have no need to play sports with others anymore when they can just play on phones by themselves.
Because of phones we have tablet kids and this is a perfect example of that.
Kids are more interested in their phones instead of playing how they used to.
Nobody wants to play with him because they're addicted to their phones.
To many people are investing their time into phones. therefore, they don't notice whats happening right in front of them.
Some kids arent rich enough to play on phones so they're alone outside half the time now.
That is so perfect. That's how I feel walking around the world today. Everyone's a phone zombie.

HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS POSITIVE TURNED NEGATIVE I want to give all the glory to God of Doctor Zakuza for changing my life by destroying the yoke of Herpes Simplex Virus from my blood. I have lived with Herpes Simplex Virus for two (2) years now, myself and my husband continued to pray to God for divine intervention for my healing, but each time i go for test the result remains positive.

I'm so tired of these stupid "technology addiction" posts. Get over it, it's not changing and by making this you're only showing your "addiction" aswell because you spent plenty of time creating these digital images and uploading them to a social site
Also it's nothing 'personal' towards this one but I've seen like a dozen or two and had to go on a mini-rant, it happened to be this one
Load More Replies...I really don't agree. I'm sure the people who made these posted them on social media. And they took the time to post it here, didn't they? Quite the hypocrites to be honest.
Of course they did how else are we supposed to see there message post photos around town just hoping we see them
Load More Replies...This really shows the truth about how technology affects our lives! This is a good way to get people to see how bad it can be.
I don't like this our world is nothing like that I say that it's bringing us closer as people we have the freedom to say anything online
And it lets us learn about other countries other people and lives and we are not mindless robots that controller it our phone
Load More Replies...I love my phone for exactly this reason. I'm a bit weird, and at school that doesn't help me fit in. I only have one friend from my school, and the only reason I'm not lonely is because I have friends from all over the world, and one of them is bound to be able to talk to me. Also, if somebody wants to tease me, they'll have to get me away from my phone, and if it wasn't for it, I would be bullied to no end
