American rock band Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler thinks modern technology is very unhealthy for people.

Although the 68-year-old "loves notoriety", he is not a fan of selfie culture, social media or society's general obsession with the internet as he thinks people are "dying slowly" online, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Everybody's got a camera attached to their iPhone, so you can't go anywhere without a picture. I have a great T-shirt that says 'Go f**k your selfie' that I walk through airports with," Tyler told Rolling Stone magazine.

"You are what you eat. Sleep with one eye open. Follow your dreams. There's a lot of them. Also, people today are dying slowly. They're either on the internet too much and they lose their job, or they're f*****g eating too much. All that stuff is going to take you down. It's as obvious as balls on a tall dog," he added.
