The way technology affect the relationships.

Day to day, technology advances faster, and with this advance human efforts to communication are lesser. But while the called information and communication technologies (ICTS) continue advancing it seems the communications between people is every time more deficient.

30 years ago the communication between people from different places was very difficult, for example the messages were sent by telegraph or by postman and it could take days to arrive.

Today people send messages by cell phone or by computer and even it can take just a few seconds to cross continents. This is a technology advantage.

Also, 30 years ago the families had a better communication or at least they shared more time together. The parents spent their nights with their children and all the family watched television or listened radio stations together.

Today, the parents don't share their time with their children because they are always busy chatting with their friends by cell phone or doing "more important things" in their computers. This is a way that technology affects the relationships between parents and children.

Occupationally technology is very important, if technology wouldn't exist, everything would be slower because it does a lot of things easy. Things like create plans to projects using programs.

But also technology has taken an important humans paper. Thousands people have lost their works because they have been replaced by machines that do the same work in least time.

What would happen if technology continue advancing? Humans should think about it. Probably if we continue using bad technology, in the next forty (40) or fifty (50) years humans will be handled by robots or look for a job will be so difficult that most people will be extremely poor.

Technology advance will continue through times, our work will be learn how to handle technology adequately and that it doesn't handle us.
