what
effect does new technology have on human relations and the way we interact?
The
invention of smart phones, skype calls, social media sights etc etc allows us to
stay in contact any time anywhere with the people we love- so surely technology
enhances our relationships? Communication now knows no bounds!
On the
other hand do these devices and mediums act as a physical barrier between us
and our friends and family? Are we replacing natural, emotional human contact
with lifeless digital communication. Are less people talking face to face,
hugging, using body language and natural expression and more people ‘snap-chatting’, ‘whats-apping’, ‘face timing’, ‘instagramming’ and ‘tweeting’?
What is
the effect of advancing technology on the way that our world is connected and
the way we interact with all the people in it. Will all humans eventually lose
all social skills and emotional capabilities? Will body language, tone of voice
and facial expression be a thing of the past or do new technologies enrich
our relationships by braking down the barriers of connection?
