There is no doubt that in recent years, people have often communicated through electric devices like email or messaging instead of meeting their friends directly. But it is not certain that affects their social relationships
As far as communication is concerned, modern chats such as messaging or email allow people to talk to each other, chat, or video call everywhere and anytime they want. In the past, they tried to tell a story so they needed to meet directly or send a letter that spent a lot of time. However, at the moment, people can just click on their phone, laptop, computer,.. and then they will see their acquaintances and don’t need to wait a few days to receive those letters. So their relationship will be better and more cherisher.
On the other hand, marginalized groups are able to connect with like-minded individuals through chat applications and help them feel satisfied and happy. For example: LGBTQIA + persons meet and chat with people the same as them although they live in a small village where inhabitants protest LGBT.
In conclusion, technology chats have caused people to diminish the amount of time to see their friends but their relationships can have more positive effects
