It is believed that technology has negatively affected social relationships. To some extent, I agree with this view, but there are other aspects to take into account. One key reason for prioritizing real-life interaction is that technology often reduces face-to-face communication. That is to say, when people use smartphones or social media excessively, they spend less time engaging in real conversations. For example, technologies such as messaging apps, online games, and virtual meetings decrease in-person communication. As a result, people may feel more isolated and disconnected from those around them. If it were not for overuse of technology, people would communicate more deeply and meaningfully. Given that, social bonds might weaken due to a lack of emotional connection.
