Question

1. match the cons of health technology with the examples. some cons will be used more than once.

fitness applications can be expensive, as they require owning a smartphone or other smart device.
one of the best ways to combat this issue is to use more than one method, such as tracking digitally and on paper.
one might be focused on a fitness band and miss oncoming cars or cyclists.
step, distance, and calorie trackers can easily produce false results.
we should always prioritize an awareness of our surroundings before using fitness technology.

Explanation:

• "Fitness applications can be expensive, as they require owning a smartphone or other smart device." - This clearly relates to the cost factor as it mentions the expense associated with having a device.
• "One of the best ways to combat this issue is to use more than one method, such as tracking digitally and on paper." - This is about inaccuracy as using multiple methods (implies that one method alone may not be accurate) is a way to deal with the problem.
• "One might be focused on a fitness band and miss oncoming cars or cyclists." - This shows distraction as the person is distracted by the fitness band and not paying attention to the surroundings.
• "Step, distance, and calorie trackers can easily produce false results." - This is an example of inaccuracy as false results mean the trackers are not accurate.
• "We should always prioritize an awareness of our surroundings before using fitness technology." - This again points to distraction as it implies that using fitness technology can cause a lack of awareness (distraction) of the surroundings.
