Technology in Relationships by Juliana Saavedra

The way we communicate has changed, no matter what the medium of communication was we have always looked for ways to stay in contact with different people, family, work, sentimental relationships, or friends. Before we communicated through letters, telegraphs, telephones, but currently thanks to the Internet we communicate through cellphones or ipads, but this has brought with it pros and cons.

Technology has become an addiction for alot of people. Walking in the street and chatting at the same time, being in a dinner and not being able to disconnect, being at the beach or at the movies and not being able to relax away from the smartphone or tablet is a strong addiction. Technology is cutting relationships?

It's true that today we communicate faster and more economically; now we dont have to waste as much money calling someone because we can send a voice memo, sent a video, or write through whatsapp, facebook, or viber. In actuality , communication is faster. But are we losing contact?

I think that no extreme is good, we cant lose respect for the person we have next to us and be in cyberspace the whole time, we cant avoid going out to eat icecream in order to look for friends on the Internet. Its necessary to evolutionize but we must control the technology in our lives.
