Weight Scales Impact On Society

What shaped the person you are today? In the past, people often think that environment, books, or parent’s genes are the factors that shape people’s identities or how people think. However, now, there is one new leading factor that is heavily influencing people’s lives and perspectives, which is technology. People in current societies have been too used to the fast-paced advancements and changes of technology that people don’t often notice how their perspectives have already been modeled differently. Every technology, even a small piece of invention can be very influential. The weight scale is one of the small technologies that has silently changed human’s perspectives in a way that people may not have realized. Weight scale has provided a

Weight scales have created a new way for people to look at their weight. Before weight scales are commonly used by the public, the term weight simply just means heavy or light. People could only tell whether a person is fit or not only by looking at the person’s appearance.

When weight scales don’t exist yet, women didn’t care about their weight because there wasn’t a way to measure it.
