Relationship Problems Between Youth and Adults due to Advances in Technology

It is the age of technology. The world is constantly undergoing changes and developments with the passage of time. Simultaneously, technology too is evolving at a faster rate than before. There is no doubt that the world has been benefitted from the constantly evolving technology and the lives of many people have changed a lot. It has facilitated transport as well as communication across the world. We owe much to technology. But each and every thing has their pros and cons. Technology too has its own disadvantages.

Technology has changed remarkably over the last one hundred years. First, the way that we use books has changed. Another way is the way we play games. The way we communicate with each other has changed drastically over the last century as well. At this rate, with technology growing every day, we can see the “new” technology that we have right now is already being replaced with something else that is “new.”

Every Time new technology comes out everyone is elation about it because it's something new we react more different than our grandparents would react we have more knowledge and experience with technology if you think about it i know some of my grandparents ask me how to use something because they don't know and aren't used to the technology we grew up with and they didn't. Their generation is way different than ours in so many different ways we have improved so much new technology how the world started with technology and where we're at now says it all. If we think about it where will technology be in 10, 20 years we improve so much just in a year 20 years from now a lot of new learning ways also if you think about it we've had so many new iphones come out these past 2 years how many more do you think they will make? The more you think about it the more questions to be asked where will technology take us through time and where will we end

During the late 1990s and early 2000s, many Millenials were creating childhood memories from a popular form of entertainment: Disney Channel Original Movies. For them, a sense of nostalgia may elicit a connection between one of those movies, LeVar Burton’s Smart House, and Ray Bradbury’s short story “The Veldt.” Labeled as science fiction, both of these works share the common theme of a dependence on technology, as illustrated by the lives of the Hadley and Cooper families. In particular, these cautionary tales convey to the audience the consequences of too many advancements: severed relationships within families, a lack of responsibility, and a new, irreversible way of life.

In the 1970s, Apple made their first personal computer and Microsoft developed their first operating system - the technology, which this generation and those thereafter are growing up with. Generation X embraced the digital world with gusto and is the generation that pushed technological development to its limits. Their contributions to technology saw the birth of the mobile phone; which is arguably the most life altering technology on future generations, since mobile phone has allowed unparalleled access to consumers. The Internet also has fundamentally changed the life of every human being (Facefacts, 2013). Generation X and future generations believe that the advances in communication, through technological means, will facilitate social change as no previous

In the mid-1400’s, people collected novels and spent hours reading in their libraries (Unwin). The same effect occurred with the printing of the newspaper in the late 1600’s (Breig), and again with the development of stationary and portable gaming systems in the mid-1900’s (Kudler). Causes of social issues change with each generation. Therefore, it is imperative to understand that future generations will be brought up in a different world than the last had. With each new generation, there will be new technology, different issues, and dissimilar methods of upbringing, however none of this is should be viewed negatively; this change throughout time indicates progression of society towards sophistication and worldliness. Although it may appear as though the youngest generation is excessively reliant on technology, they and future generations will learn to use technology in moderation as past generations have. Moreover, it is ironic to blame technology for the lack of social interaction in this day and age when social media is such a popular concept; particularly, when social media is in the form of an app and can be accessed at any moment from a smart phone. Countless individuals are able to communicate with friends with whom they haven’t spoken to in five or more

Currently in 2017 tech has been in everyone's lives one way or another. Whether it's a toddler using an electronic toy, to a small child using an Ipad, technology is everywhere. But what if you were born ten to twenty years in the past, how about ten to twenty years in the future? Right now as a fifteen-year-old boy technology is in my life one way or another. Whether is using my phone to watch videos and to text, or using my Xbox to entertain myself; tech is all around me.

Technology separates people because it nurtures addictions. For example, in her CNN article, Sandee LaMotte says that the overuse of cell phones has made people addicted to them, and as a result, has negatively affected people’s relationships with friends and family. Specifically, she says that people can get ‘nomophobia’ characterized by anxiety when they don’t have their phone on them. This can cause depression, which in turn distracts people, and affects relationships, because no one wants to have face-to-face conversations. LaMotte quotes Caglar Yildirim, who created a scale to test addiction ‘ “[Overuse of phones] might negatively affect your social life and relationships with friends and family," [...] those who score high on the test tend to avoid face-to-face interactions, have high levels of social anxiety and maybe even depression” ’ LaMotte believes that addiction to phones can reduce physical time with other people, to an extent at which it can harm relationships, and slowly tear people apart. In another example, in her 2011 social media article, Deborah Mackey that addiction to phones and social media can limit the amount of time people spend with each other. Mackey states that a large percent of people use their phones while with friends or family, and many even use their phones at meal times.

The topic I have chosen to focus on throughout this paper is discussion one which is based on the affects of technology on relationships.

In our present society, people cannot deny that the changes in this world have been tied to the advancement of the technology. It has evolved with this society so deeply where such conveniences are no longer luxuries but rather necessities. Unfortunately, the most affected group of people from the developed technology is the younger age people (Subrahmanyam, 2000). In the past, children were more lively and active: playing outdoors, running around, climbing trees and remaining active rather than watching television and playing video game and computer. It is true that the use of the technology has its own virtue. It provides value, convenience and entertainment, but it should not take the place of movement and realistic

In my most recent blog post I spoke about how technological advancements as well as how dating services has made it more difficult for the youth and adults of society to sustain healthy relationships. Twice as many young adults ages 25-30 first viewed pornography before puberty than did the next generation. Which is a very staggering amount of people loosing their virginities to virtual reality. Only one in 20 young adults and one in 10 teens say their friends think viewing pornography is a bad thing. Our generation has gotten very comfortable with technology that not only do they lose their virginities to technology now teens have became more comfortable establishing social groups of friends online.

Throughout the earth’s history many changes have occurred. Change affected and made life for humans easier by minimizing the amount of effort needed to complete a task. Change could be looked as a bad thing or a good thing depending on the output and persons perspective. For instance, cellular phones, in today’s society as a teenager cell phones are seen as a must have hand-held device in order to browse the web and fulfill their social needs. But to counter that, as an older adult, cell phones are looked at as distractions and a danger to taking up all of a person’s time. The teenager’s perspective is a representation of a good outlook and the older adult’s perspective is seen as a bad outlook. Either way, change is inevitable. As long as the earth still rotates change will still occur. With all of the technological advances in today’s society, they are a mere speckle in the futures overall advances.

Since the industrial revolution, people have been discovering new things and creating new technology that was meant to help people in doing the everyday life easier. Nowadays, people rely a lot in technology because they tend to avoid the hard work, it’s more simple to use, and entertains our sight.

My generation, specifically Generation Y, has grown up with computers. Whether it was DOS or Windows or Macintosh, my peers have a knack for the virtual interface. Our parents and grandparents do not understand it. They fumble uncomfortably with their cell phones and become frustrated by the oncoming new media of video games (especially when my brothers and I would rather play Halo 3 than Pac-Man with my dad). Whereas we effortlessly communicate with each other like each button is an extra organic limb on our body. It is as if technology was in our blood, but not theirs.

Technology occurred before the human kind and it has improved people’s lives positively and negatively. The influence of technology is really great that it has absolutely changed our lifestyle. Computers, the Internet, Gadgets all these things have transformed our working system completely and our productivity has increased unbelievably. As everyone knows with every positive that have to be a negative, technology is really great, but it also has a huge affected every part of family life. We are spending more time indoors than we are outside. The time we spent on the computer, watching TV, and other electronics drive is about 8 hours a day. During this time, we are usually spent alone and not with the rest of the family. With all the electronics drive, we currently have, we don 't need to get out of the house anymore, you can do everything from the luxury of your home. Almost everything revolves around technology now. Don’t get me wrong, I love computer and all the technology we have now, with every new invention coming out I have them all, Apple Watch, iPhone7 Plus, iPad, new Apple TV, and new headphone, most of my product is around Apple because I love the company they produce a good product, good design, and it last for a long time. On June 29, 2007, about 9 years ago, when the first generation of the iPhone came out, people will wait outside the stores to buy it. The estimated sales of this first generation iPhone were around 250,000 and 700,000 units in the first weekend
