We live in the digital era which means that wherever we go we are constantly surrounded by technology. Everyone around us has a smartphone and most people spend considerable amounts of time on the Internet everyday. And with all of that comes a question - is technology affecting the way people interact with each other?
I have to say that almost everybody that I've ever heard complain about modern ways of communication was an adult or older than that. That leads me to believe that it is the people who haven't grown up in such a digital environment who refuses to accept the growth of the Internet, smartphones, etc. As we know, people critisise what they don't understand.
While it may be true that sometimes you're at a restaurant and there are people sitting on a table with their phones and not really speaking or looking at each other, new technologies bring way more good things than bad things like that. Everything has its disadvantages but when it comes to communication and social relationships I find that the Internet helps a lot of people in different ways such as keeping in touch with loved ones who live far away, helping shy people interact in an easier way, keeping track of what your friends are doing, and also discovering new and interesting things.
In conclusion, I believe we should accept the changes that are happening in society in order to evolve and be better.
