Techno-pathology or the ill-health effects of technology, includes injuries from machines and technology, such as motor vehicle injuries and warfare. It also includes more obscure problems such as repetitive strain injury and “screen dermatology” (skin problems from the electrical output from small screens). Inadequate sleep can interact with technology through vehicle and workplace injuries, but is also a risk for other diseases.
