It is true that new technologies have had an influence on communication between people. Technology has affected relationships in various ways, and in my opinion, there are both positive and negative effects.
Technology has had an impact on relations in business, education and social life.
Firstly
, telephones and the Internet allow businessmen in different countries to interact without ever meeting each other. Linking Words
Secondly
, services like Skype create new possibilities for relationships between students and teachers. Linking Words
For example
, a student can now take video lessons with a teacher in a different city or country. Linking Words
Finally
, many of those who use social networks, like Facebook, to make new friends and find those who share common interests, and they interact through their computers rather than face-to-face.
On the one hand, these developments can be extremely positive. Cooperation between people in different countries was much more difficult when communication was limited to written letters or telegrams. Nowadays, interactions by email, phone or video are almost as good as face-to-face meetings, and many of us benefit from these interactions, either in work or social contexts. Linking Words
On the other hand
, the availability of new technologies can Linking Words
also
have the result of isolating and discouraging real interaction. Linking Words
For example
, many youngsters choose to make friends online rather than mix with their peers in the real world, and these ‘virtual’ relationships are a poor substitute for real friendships.

To conclude
, from my point of view, technology has certainly revolutionised communication between people, but not all of the outcomes of Linking Words
