This standard asks you to identify and describe the effects of technology use on people's health and wellbeing. You need to consider both positive and negative effects, whether they happen quickly or take time to develop, and think about people's rights and responsibilities when using technology like gaming consoles, phones, social media, and TV.
You identify various effects of technology on health (like eye strain, sleep disruption, or social connection) and describe whether they are positive/negative and short/long-term.
You explain how these effects work and why they happen, showing you understand the mechanisms behind technology's impact on wellbeing.
You link these effects to both individual people and broader society, discussing how technology use affects different groups and communities differently.
