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

Nowadays,

technology

has huge effects on

people

livings and relationships. While there are some advantages to

this

trend, I believe that the advantages are far more. On the one hand, many commentators are of the view that there are disadvantages to

technology

and its effects on relationships. From their point of view, one problem is that

people

are made lazy with

technology

because the apps and the media are making everything easier.

For example

, you don'

t

need to visit your friend,

instead

, you make a video call. Or you could order anything you want within apps when you are sitting on your couch.

Hence

, the relationships are behind a tiny screen and you can'

t

feel the emotions and feelings for real. As the

second

drawback,

technology

has filled most of the

people

's time in a day with the examples we talked about above.

On the other hand

, there are those who subscribe to the view that

technology

has several benefits.

Firstly

,

technology

has made communication between

people

around the world much easier. In the past we couldn'

t

speak with a Korean friend ,

for example

, to discuss new ideas easily but now

people

can share ideas internationally no matter where they are. Especially it's a loving and important tool for parents whose children have immigrated to another country. Another positive point is learning.

People

's knowledge is wider and deeper compared to the past

as a result

of

technology

.

For example

, if you like watercolour painting, you can search through the internet and find lots of content about it and learn, or even join online classes. In conclusion,

Although

technology

might have some drawbacks, we should accept that we can'

t

escape from it and we should use all its benefits in our life in order to make it better.
