The Development of Technology Negatively Affect Relationship between People

First of all we live in a world where technology has become indispensable especially for the younger generation. This new generation will now live and grow with technology being part of there every day life. Technology is advancing

Technology is an essential part of our life. The use of technology can be seen in almost every aspect of our daily routines. Despite some people’s belief that technology is progressively destroying humanity, it is evident that technology’s advancements have greatly benefited humankind due to its contributions to improving education, health, and communication.

As of 2012, almost everybody owns some form of technological device. These devices are accessible to all types of people, there is no discrimination. It has become more popular over the years through the expansion of smartphones. Cameras, music, social networking apps and practically anything you can imagine have become accessible at anytime, anywhere. With one tap, you can update your status, send a tweet, and send a picture or text. It’s convenient that it is so easy to stay connected but it has become detrimental. In this paper, I will address four different research studies, relating to cell phone addiction, and excessive cell phone use. These studies will show

Cell phones and the computers are similar to each other in many different ways. One of the most common similarities is the internet aspect. With everyone connected to the internet, the adverse effects can spread throughout like a virus. “A Nielsen study released in 2010 indicated that texting was the primary reason for purchasing mobile phones and that text communication had become a "’centerpiece of mobile teen behavior.’" The modern smartphone of the 2010s is a powerful computing device, and the rapid and ongoing development of new applications provides users with a growing number of ways to use mobile phones for recreation, productivity, and social communication” (Issitt 2016). In the following Issitt states, “however, as smartphones have become more common, concerns about the detrimental effects of smartphone use have also increased.” (Issitt 2016). Issitt expresses the large growth of people with smartphones has its positives and negatives. The positives being the ability to communicate, but the negative being the effects on relationships with one another. An example of the negative side of things is the lack of interaction with people. People are more likely to call or text instead of interacting with one another. The lack of interaction can ruin relationships, or make people feel unwanted. In the article “Eurasian Journal of Educational Research,” the writer states that the internet, “can transform into an addictive instrument in excessive usage situations.” (Gunduz 2017). The statement explains the issue of the unnecessary use of the internet as a growing addictive process that is taking over more and more

When people think of addictions, usually, drugs and chemical substances come to mind. A frequent trend observed in today’s age is not being able to go anywhere without one’s digital device and being addicted to that device, especially one’s cell phone. Adopting a cell phone separation anxiety, is a type of behavioral addiction that is seen more and more today. On average, people are spending about three hours on their phones each day. Alter states, “‘Behavioral addictions are really widespread now...risen with the adoption of newer more addictive social networking platforms, tablets and smartphones’” (Dreifus). As new technologies that cater to people’s wants increase, addiction to these technologies will increase as well. People become so attached to their phones that they will perhaps get distracted from their current situation. In the article “Hooked On Our Smartphones”, the author Jane E. Brody talked about how sometimes commuters or drivers put themselves in a dangerous position when they pay more attention to their phone instead of what surrounds them. The almost

There is no doubt that technology has affected the path of communication, interaction and human relationships. A large number of communication devices like phone have been invented in order to help communication between people. Thus, by giving easier chance to be connected, this development has been encouraging society’s sense of togetherness. Advances in technology have brought people closer with the use of different communication gadgets or websites. On the other hand, it has reduced the real-world or physical interaction. Technology has both pros and cons. But, sometimes the more positive roles overshadow the negative points. Ultimately, technology has improved the communication and relationships between people.

Technology has provided us with many opportunities. It has allowed us to achieve many feats and shatter expectations, as well doing something as simple as make our making lives easier or more comfortable. Of course, like many things, many people point out that there are downsides to technology. Although it may seem as though technology is socially isolating us, it actually allows us to connect with each other in many different ways.

Based on recent developments, without technology, human life would not have been the usual walk in the park that is currently being realized globally. Technology is the main contributor to the improved lifestyle and well-being of humans. It is a factor that has surely justified itself as an important component that is necessary within the human life. From the fact that technology is a component that covers systematic research from all fields, it has made life easier in all departments, and its impacts are being realized at a higher rate.

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

Correspondingly, our emotional ties and reactions have also changed to accommodate what we now consider interaction. Dating and relationships has been an important issue relating to technology because it can potentially have a dramatic consequence for society. Digital communication can be manipulated and changed with the traditional way of interacting. This can be theoretically be dangerous, though not necessarily damaging. There are so positive aspects in modern and advance communication. As our technology become more sophisticated and complex, our generation will adjust to it even know we are unaware of the outcome of how it will affect is. It is important to study these changes in order to have a grasp the transformations that we are unescapably going through.

Technology today has changed tremendously over the years. From small devices to big devices to large factories that make them. All over the world technology is increasing. It has become so important the human race can’t live without it.

Whether it be intelligent cooking or self-driving cars, it is quite evident that technology is continually being integrated into our lives. From people salivating over the new iPhone 7 to tech-fanatics gushing over the Project Ariana, technology has surely surpassed what most could even fathom.

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.

Have you ever felt like you constantly needed to be connected with the outside world? This could mean that you are addicted to your phone or tablet. Now, you might say "No way! I'm not addicted whatsoever!" Unfortunately, it's true that you are addicted to your phone. Phone addiction is something that we can relate to, in which we constantly want to keep in check of what's going on in the outside world and on social media. Unfortunately, it causes us to develop bad habits and character traits, such as being sneaky or disobedient. I've had personal experience with this in which I can't stay away from it. Sometimes, we can experience this, but could not admit or realize that we are addicted to our smartphones. A year-long research study was conducted by Rice University on college students to see what behaviors would be displayed and their usage of phones. The study showed that of 34 participants, 21 of them had admitted that they were addicted to their smartphones, and the remaining 13, although still having a considerably large usage of their phone, did not admit that they were addicted to their cell phones or disagreed with the fact that they were addicted (Tossell, Kortum, Shepard, Rahmati, and Zhong 38). Can you believe that? We have all become so attached to our cell phones that we can't admit or realize that we use our phones too much! It's also inflicting other behaviors, like feeling that we can't live without our phones, being anxious when the battery percentage lowers, and even spending way too much time on our devices than we intend to. It affects our behavior in a vast amount of ways that make us seem less responsible and change who we really are, as well as in other people's

Technology has as such progressed at tremendous rates throughout the past recent decades, and it has now come to a point at which it impacts virtually all aspects of life, from the making of meals to the completion of the complex professional tasks. And as technology become more versatile, the demand for it also increased. For instance, technology is now employed in the educational process, in schools and universities to help acquire more knowledge; it is used in administrative operations and in manufacturing processes, to help improve operational efficiency.
