Technology in our relationships

By Alexis Arenas

First, it’s known for all of you, that technology is a great advance and the biggest invention of the last decades. For that reason, technology allows to give some advantages in each one of the spheres that people are immerse. For example, a human being is interacting every single day with people at office, home, school, family, etc, and we can say that we have thousands of connections that build a relationship.

I really think that technology was developed with the purpose of simplifying the work and accessing to the information quickly and safe. Thanks to technology, companies can achieve important goals, having hundreds of clients of all over the world and delivering products according to a corporate strategy.

On the other hand, technology became in an important tool because help in activities at home like to conserve the food and wash the dirty clothes. If people want, they can study online or read articles about social issues, illness, sports, daily routines, recipes, and uncountable topics that allow giving a better use to free time. Also, technology creates a self-awareness state where people say that the world isn’t big and brings many opportunities.

Sadly, relationships are being affected for technology. We are so dependent to use electronic devices all the time and that situation generates that relationships are based in chats, video calls and social networks. We lose the worth to hold conversations face to face and in contrast we see our smartphones at least 5 times per hour.

When I am in a restaurant with my friends, all of us start typing and hold chats until someone say: “I know we are so busy, but we should enjoy this time and for that, all of us should turn off the smartphones”. That simple act improves the conversation and the reunion turns amazing.

Finally, I truly believe that is possible to use technology without affecting relationships. We need to act now and forget to use of electronic device while we are with our families, friends, girlfriend or boyfriend, because we need to recover the meaning of a conversation because the world needs more face to face smiles and less smiles in front of a smartphone.

If you want an unforgettable relationship with your love ones, don’t miss to leave apart all the electronic devices. This is just a little advice that undoubtedly will help you to manage very well your relationships in each one of the spheres that you interact.
