Nowadays, the way many people interact with each other has changed because of technology. In what ways has technology affected the types of relationships people make? Has this become a positive or negative development?

It is argued that in recent times the way men and women communicate with each other has been changed due to

technology

.

This

harms the relationships because it decreases face to face interaction among people and they do not have

time

for their loved ones. Most of the people these days interact with each other through digital media that reduces face-to-face interactions.

In other words

, people are addicted to social media to an extent that they have forgotten their families and living relations.

Therefore

, they are more interested in virtual relationships rather than talking to people in person.

For example

, research done by the Times of India in 2014 showed that there has been a 30 percent decrease in face-to-face interaction among people in the

last

10 years after the use of advanced

technology

. People do not spend

time

with their families because they are always busy with their online friends and spend most of their

time

on mobile phones and on social networking sites.

This

is to say that, in earlier times people used to spend their leisure

time

with families and are involved in family gatherings, but now

this

trend has been changed with the invention of

technology

.

Therefore

, it has become a negative development because relationships between members of families are getting weaker.

For instance

, according to a recent survey by the New York

Times 70

Accept comma addition

Times, 70

percent of the people spend their free

time

on phones and the rest 30 percent are those who spend the

time

with families. In conclusion,

technology

has affected the relationships in a negative way

this

is because it reduces interaction between people in person and they do not spend sufficient amount of

time

with their families.
