Technology can make you fat
Segways are a machine for those too lazy to walk. Looking like a cross between a wheelchair and a lawnmower, the Segway is extolled as an ingenious invention. Obesity is a major problem for rich countries. People are eating too much of the wrong food. This processed food is a major technological achievement. It's cheap, tasty, unhealthy and fattening. It is a response to the convenience society, where everything must be packaged and fast.

Technology makes you fat
People sew McDonald’s because they blame them for becomeing fat but MsDonald's says its technologies fault, so fat people ought to sue technology rather than McDonalds But what about the ‘what goes around comes around concept’? Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Couldn’t all this technology also make us thinner than we are?

Wii Fit Puts the Fun in Fitness
If you're overweight or obese, Wii Fit will tell you so. (Gamers 330 lb. and heavier need not apply, as that's the game's official weight limit.) And wont even be able to use the game for a way to get in shape.But some of the game's messaging seems overly harsh.

Many people blame technology for making them fat.
They say that they spend hours every day watching TV sitting on their butts at home. Couch Potato syndrome if you will. This after spending all day at work on a computer, even coming home and emailing friend sitting at a computer, more sitting causing a larger buttocks they say.

All this technology makes people lazy
The question is, are we using it too much? Is society so firmly founded on technology that in some ways its use is actually hurting usStudies largely point to things such as television and video games as two reasons (the other is diet) for obesity, particularly in children and young adults.
