How Technology Is Affecting Human Relations

Nowadays, technology is everywhere around us. We cannot even imagine our lives without smartphones, laptops, and internet. The only difference between 20th and 21st century is that now, our lives are more vital, and we depend totally upon the technology. However, every coin hast two sides, likewise, technology too has it's advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that we have the technology to connect with people across the globe instantly. Technology has made our lives more convenient. For instance, if you went to an unknown city and you get lost, it is not necessary to ask people for directions. You can easily access the information by using your satellite mobile phone map and you can find your way. Also, you can read latest news, pay your electricity and mobile phones bills online, book movie tickets via different sites like paytm. Another major advantage of technology is that through technology, deaf and dumb people can connect themselves with everybody. They own special mobile phones, I Pad, and computers, which allow them to be part of the modern society. They are able to do friendship among the people from all over the world, and they don’t feel isolated from the world.

The major and most dangerous disadvantage of technology is that you create your own world that includes your virtual friends from “Facebook”, “Twitter” or “Skype”. This leads to many personal relationship issues such as it can create a distance between your real friends, family, and relatives. By using the new technology, we have stopped to talk a lot i.e. Telephonic conversations. When we want to say something to somebody, we prefer to write a text from our phone instead of talking with that person. Especially, teenagers are the most influenced people. I think this fashion to write texts will develop a distance between everyone and the new generation will have a new way for communication with each other. And, one day we will not be able to talk and to make conversation with each other. We might forget how to talk with somebody face to face, and I don’t want this feeling and excitement when you talk with a real person to get disappear.

In summary, I want to say that obviously we cannot live or we can't even imagine our life without technology. Our brain is the most powerful machine then any technology or electronic gadgets. So we must use the technology in a precise way and use our brain more!
