Influence of technology in relationships by Sandra Orozco

Currently, technology is evolving. Things are better, there are better cars, better appliances, better houses, all kinds of things that make our lives better. Technology has impacted our lives. Technology gives us more entertainment and convenience. Now it ‘s very difficult to live without cell phone, computer, car, or TV.

A clear example is the influence of technology on personal relationships with family, friends or coworkers. I think technology is of great benefit to the world. Technology has many advantages:

-       It helps people to communicate with others who are far away.

-       It helps people meet new people and improve social skills

-       It makes communication easier and cheaper

-       The access to the info is quick and easy to get

-       You can find places anywhere in the world

-       You can pay your bills without having to go to the bank

-       At work, you can save time

On the other hand, it‘s risky because people prefer the virtual contact that personal contact. Some people don’t know how to handle all the tools that technology gives them and this becomes an addiction and a necessity to be connected all the time. People are become dependent of technology to do all their tasks like shopping, eating, spending time with their family or friends, etc.

In conclusion, all extremes are bad. Technology is a tool that people should know how to use. This is a great benefit to make life easier, but it's important to know what the limit to use is.
