Technology to Make Us Healthier

It seems that all the technology in the world has definitely made us unhealthy. Instead of going to the mailbox we send email. One click, we never get out of our chair. Instead of walking we drive. Instead of having a physical job we sit at a desk.

Not that technology is a bad thing. But we’re not moving as much. That’s why I when I saw this article for technology that works with our bodies, I was intrigued. The technology I’m speaking of helps charge your cell phone battery when you walk. The same team is trying to develop a way to harness the energy of everyday movements, even such as typing on a keyboard.

Do you think this will help people get healthier?
