Toxic tech

TECHNOLOGY is not simply a tool for progress in today’s fast-paced digital world; it is also reshaping the way we communicate and work. Toxic tech is a darker aspect of this computer-driven world that is sometimes disregarded. This phrase describes the negative effects that tech practices, goods or cultures can have on people as well as companies.

Think about the all too prevalent situation where workers feel unable to break free from work even in their personal time, feeling glued to their gadgets all the time. This overwork culture damages productivity and job happiness in addition to causing burnout. Consider Sarah, a marketing manager who is unable to shut off and recharge and frequently checks work emails late into the night — this is an ongoing condition of tension.
