As our technology has developed, many
people interact with each other has changed. Technology has affected
relationships in various ways and effects can be either positive or negative.
There are many advantages, first of all,
technology development has improved people’s ability to create and maintain
relationships. Unlike before, people can easily and quickly reach out to each
other using the Internet. For example, a friend who live in the UK can chat and
talk with a friend who live in Korea via smartphone or online messenger, and send
and receive photos quickly. In addition, another area where technology affects
our lives is how people make friends. In other words, these day we can meet
friends of all nationalities without any effort or travel. This can also help
with cultural exchanges. This is an absolutely positive development as we gain
great advantages using technology.
However, there are negative things in using
high-tech technology. Users of social network services often upload their private
photos on the Internet. It can give a sense of closeness to friends who are not
close to users, but it often shows only positive sides of them in the virtual
world. This is, people who only see webpages can be made to have a bias and preconception.
It sometimes causes people to cut down their relationships, as they realize
that one person who is in the real world is different to another one who is on
the Internet.
In conclusion, the development of
technology has both negative and positive aspects, but I think that people can
have my positive effects as they use it well. |
