What are some Negative Cultural Impacts of Modern Technology?	> Social media allows for the spread of fake, or exaggerated information extremely quickly > Users of social media often receive an idealised view of others > Cyberbullying and trolling on social media is common, but is difficult to effectively police > Work-life balance can be thrown off if work is not limited to office hours; this can lead to poor mental health and wellbeing > The overuse of technology can have particularly bad impacts on one's health, e.g., addiction, repetitive strain injury, eye strain, neck and back problems > Technology is expensive, and therefore poorer areas suffer a divide in many areas, e.g., education
