Technology Dependence

 

The first developed smart phone was created so that we could connect with certain cultures and societies. In ways it was an extremely successful idea, but in a lot of other ways it unsuccessful. The thing that had botched and seems to be the most evident is the group of friends that are apparently supposed to be converting are all on their phones. The amount of interaction has decreased a huge amount. It's kind of a scary to think that were all so attached to a piece of technology that we can't put it down. It seems even in class that what on the phone is more important than paying attention.

            The way that we communicate is changing radically and it’s not being changed for the upright. Communication is our way of making and maintaining relationships. Technology is on the other hand a way that we’ve been able to stay in contact with people that we couldn’t have before. If talking in person though they most likely don’t have their undivided attention. Since smart phones have taken a role the interest in holding a relationship with people and socializing face to face have decreased a hefty amount.

            Our social skills are significantly fading. Everyone is effected the same way with it though even if they think they’re not. They probably just have a much better way to control how much it should be used and are really less attached. The people that are like that are severely decreasing though. The way that people make friends anymore is over social media, which is okay at times until it comes to the face to face contact. The process of making new friends seems to just be awkward and daunting anymore for a lot of people.

            Technology may have been the way to help our world join, but it is instantaneously responsible for a rapid loss of relationships. Our focuses have shifted, instead of having the concern of a relationship were just worried about what new piece of technology we can purchase next. We take pride in being technologically savvy and it isn’t for the better, it just makes us seem obsessive and that is becoming to be true. This is something that doesn’t seem to be changed either, but instead just get worse.
