Opinion
The news talk about how kids are addicted to cell phones, tablets, games anything with an electronic screen. The problem is, it’s bad for their eyes. In this times we have to be really careful about how we manage our time, or analize if we are doing a good work , cause now its being such a problem more for our health.
We are going to be addict with technology, and we can´t take a rest about that, and more than that we are creating a permanent eye damage, With the popularity of video games and online activities, dry eye is becoming increasingly prevalent in children and teens glued to their screens.
“When you concentrate very hard on a task such as on a computer screen, you blink less, and also instead of fully blinking you partially blink and so what’s happening is damage is being done to the front of the eye,” Wolffsohn said.
When tears aren’t being produced, they evaporate and leave behind their salty content, which can do further damage to your eyes.
and now there’s a smartphone app that can diagnose dry eyes. People tested it at a demonstration in London. The app asks some simple questions and tests how long you can comfortably stare at a screen without blinking.
QUESTIONS
1. What is the main obstacle within your lies to practice to parrhesia
2. Write a concept
3.What is the consequences for you not telling the truth
4.What can you do about it
This new for me its completely true, because not only children, also us, we get dry eyes when we take a long time in front of a screen (cellphones, tablets, computers). Maybe the parrehsia of this new is the app, yes it help the person to know if they have dry eyes problems, but perhaps the other side is that they did thi because you have to download the app. But thats not bad, that actually how the word works.

ResponderBorrarI think on the same way as Maria Fernanda, the parrehsia of this news can be in how the information about technologies (app) are used, how the people promoting their products, a mean in which way? how? telling lies to sell.
ResponderBorrari have two points from this new:
ResponderBorrar1. it's so curious that the problem they wan to prevent is that the people don't be addicted to electronic things but the app is by cellphone.
2. they take advantage that the people are addicted to smartphones to show them by the app that their health is in danger, i think that it is the pharresia.
It is sad to know that many children are losing their childhood because of the technology. It is a very useful and a very good tool for everything, but it is a problem when it's something obssesive.
ResponderBorrarTechnology always bring good things and bad things. In this case the news focus on a particular problem for everyone. It’s not only affecting children, it also affect adults and anyone that gets in touch with a device that has a screen. Every technology maker tell us to buy their tech, but they dont warn us about the risk when using it for long periods of time. We dont take the measures needed to over come this problem and time will show us all the concecuences of not caring for ourselves. From now on we must be very consious about what we do in order to be healthier and minimize the risk involved when using technology.
ResponderBorrarTechnology is something necessary, but now we can’t live without it, one of the consequences of that was show on these new: dry eyes, the kids spent a lot of time with the eyes on a screen, and that is not good for health, I thing that is necessary to the parents educate their children with example and reduce theirs screen time. The new is telling the truth and I believe that could help to think about our eyes health.
