We all see technology improving. Everyday there is a new device, program or update available. But how do we know that stress levels are increasing as well?
Research shows that in addition to technology increasing, stress is also increasing. According to researchers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, "Stress increased 18% for women and 24% for men from 1983 to 2009," when data was collected from 6,300 people.
Technology has been the biggest change in our society in the past few years, and has had a huge influence on the stress levels of individuals.
