Most people think that current stage of technology has made people form a better relationship, but others say it makes the relationship worse. Although technology helps us communicate better and more frequently, I believe that it takes away the physical interaction which is one of key aspects to forming a special bond between people.
Nowadays, use of technology has arrived at a point that it is used in every aspect of our life. With the help of technology, we can easily communicate with our friends and family with little to no effort. People can easily chat or call each other rather than meeting face to face to get to know what is happening in their lives, which is helpful for people living far away from us. For example, everyone nowadays has friends and family living abroad. It is because of the evolution of technology we can easily communicate with them and stay in touch. However, I believe rather than bringing people close it drives us apart.
Knowing what is going on people’s lives has never been easier. Yet, easier it gets the farther we end up. We choose the easy way out by calling or texting rather than making an effort to meet up in real life which eliminates the physical interaction between people. Everyone can pretend to be something we are not online, but it is significantly harder to do it face to face. For example, I keep up the lives of my friends with the help of social media, looking at what they post I make up my mind about the current state of their life rather than asking them personally. This in turn takes as apart from each other as I assume about their life rather than asking them which most of the time is not related to the current affairs of their life.
To conclude, even though technology has the capability to bring people closer, I think it takes us farther away from each other.
