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

During
this
day, technology is part of our everyday life and it becomes a way to establish new interactions, not only thanks to new devices, but mainly with the establishment of social network sites. In
this
perspective, technology allows us to make contact with people of different culture and it can be used,
for example
, to learn a new language, in fact you only have to find the right chat group or site and you can practice with a native speaker. Technology
also
helps people to keep alive long distance relationships with their friends who went abroad or with faraway relatives or with lost companion of the past.
This
computer usage is a positive one, because it helps people not to lose something they build up through their life. On the negative side, social networks are often used to start a relationship. Nowadays there are many adolescents that grew up with technologies that became part of their life too early and in many cases have been used to build up relationships online.

people to interact without a screen to protect them, that usually end up with adolescents giving too much trust too soon to people whom they never really met. It is
also
true that many of the relationships established through the use of social media don't

.
This
is due not to the way they began, but because many people of the new generations are not able to build and maintain relationships. Overall, I think that technology in giving us devices to communicate and in creating social

sites, positively influenced our relationships today. What I think it has to be improved is the knowledge in how to use it as an instrument to facilitate relationships and the understanding that it cannot be the only way of interaction between human beings.
