Growing up we would play games and tell jokes, and have a lot of fun with each other, but now, we barley even talk. It’s not because we don’t like each other it’s because of phones. If we are sitting in the living room we aren’t talking and it’s just awkward.

Generation Z is being raised in a world where their eyes are instantly attracted to a screen. They’re not going to know what it’s like to go outside and make up their own games, to have an imagination. This day in age their imaginations are handed to them. We are so worried about what’s happening on facebook or twitter we don’t know what’s going on around us.

In recent years, the dependence resulting from the usage of small and powerful devices by young people to correlate with others is causing side effects associated with health disorders. Researchers are working to find the best application of technology in human life, without compromising the development of society and leverage the usage of emerging devices and services. The majority of society is more dependent on the evolving technology than they think, causing several issues to human life such as psychological effects, psychological issues, and sociological complications.

When you had to wait days and weeks for that letter to arrive and you needed get that information from that person, it was frustrating. Today communication has become easier with the use of technology. I was born in a generation of technology that has made it easier for me to talk to anyone that is anywhere. It used to be only phone calls and letters the ways to communicate with someone who wasn’t near you, but not today. The development of technology has allowed us to communicate with anyone around the world in just matters of seconds.

In more serious cases some have lost their lives making posts to via social media moments leading up to their deaths. The app I’d like to propose a problem and solution to is Facebook.
