TECHNOLOGY AFECTS HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS BY JENIFER BUILES

It’s clear that technology came to us for stir up our lives. The internet and technology in general made the life a little bit easy. Before computers were invented, you had to spend hours and hours in a library to find the information that you needed, or you had to wait for a long time to warm up your food in a stove, but now everything is different, you find information in only one minute, or warm up food in seconds, thanks to a microwave. Or even better you can talk with someone in other side of the world now.

However, this technology is the same that became the man in a dependent, lazy and selfish person because nowadays’ people don’t enjoy the beautiful things of the world, only for the simple reason that they are concentrated in their cell phones and not in the life passing around them. Ask yourself, what was the last time that your family watched television together every night? Maybe two or ten years ago, well this is the one reason that explains why technology affects human relationships.

Communication and share time with the family is lacking. The people know everything about other person only for the information in the social network, so you can know their hobbies, their favorite music or artist without asking personally, thus the magic of meet someone is running out.

It’s common that the couples break up because of ‘last seen at’ feature of WhatsApp, so this unusual and ridiculous case show how the people are obsessing and getting out of the control with this kind of technology.

 It’s unbelievable how technology take control of our lives and our childhood. Fifteen years ago the children used to play on the street all kind of games or sports, but now they are only standing in front of screen with himself imagining a life that is not theirs ,and It’s more terrible  the situation  when the families, friends and  couples are chatting standing one next to other.

Technology helps us in an infinity good ways, It let us to get close and find out a world that we have not ever seen in our life, therefore It’s important that the people know how to used and control technology if don’t want that it controlled you, and in this way can to make the world a better place.
