TECHNOLOGY

Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has
changed because of technology.In what ways has technology affected
the types of relationships that people make? Has this been a positive
or negative development?

It is true that new technologies have had an influence on communication between


people. Technology has affected relationships in various ways, and in my opinion
there are both positive and negative effects.
Technology has had an impact on relationships in business, education and social
life. Firstly, telephones and the Internet allow business people in different countries
to interact without ever meeting each other. Secondly, services like Skype create
new possibilities for relationships between students and teachers. For example, a
student can now take video lessons with a teacher in a different city or
country. Finally, many people use social networks, like Facebook, to make new
friends and find people who share common interests, and they interact through
their computers rather than face to face.
On the one hand, these developments can be extremely positive. Cooperation
between people in different countries was much more difficult when
communication was limited to written letters or telegrams. Nowadays, interactions
by email, phone or video are almost as good as face-to-face meetings, and many of
us benefit from these interactions, either in work or social contexts. On the other
hand, the availability of new communication technologies can also have the result
of isolating people and discouraging real interaction. For example, many young
people choose to make friends online rather than mixing with their peers in the real
world, and these ‘virtual’ relationships are a poor substitute for real friendships.
In conclusion, technology has certainly revolutionised communication between
people, but not all of the outcomes of this revolution have been positive.
