HOW DOES TECHNOLOGY AFFECT OUR RELATIONSHIPS? BY HELMER DE JESÙS CANO CORTES



HOW DOES TECHNOLOGY AFFECT OUR RELATIONSHIPS?


I want to speak about internet addiction. I´ve just know there are a lot of researches and studies about this topic but I want to give my point of view about this problem.

Currently internet is like a drug; in fact it is yanking us away from the physical reality and we don´t feel the effect. First of all, people say internet let close people, in fact one of the most important think of the internet facilities is distance doesn´t exist but this  situation have had a different mean among the people because they prefer talk with each other through their devices and relationships result affected by this situation. Is true than we can create relationships through internet using social networks like facebook or twitter but it is a virtual relationship, so the worst thing is we are losing our interactions with people in the physical world.

For example, most of people in this moment prefer a dialogue through their devices, because in many cases they feel safer about they said, people think that electronic devises soften the relationships.
Internet and electronic devises create fake relationships because people usually lie through them, for example it is so easy to say a lie in a chatting because the other person in many cases doesn´t see the other one, and it is possible to have several relationships on internet or through our devices, in fact is hard to know how many people have someone like contacts.

Internet and electronic devises are excellent to send information but they aren´t so good to send feelings, because of internet and devises aren´t the best way to fix problems or to deal with personal situations, the best way is face to face.

Finally internet has separated our friends and families because we want to speak only through internet even if we are remaining in the same place or in the same house. It is necessary to get back to our face to face relationships where we can use the dialogue to interact with the other.


The Internet is an amazing tool. But we need give it a special use taking care about our behavior on it.
