ESSAY ABOUT THE WEEK WITHOUT INTERNET AND TECHNOLOGY
Answers
We are living in a very exciting age. Technology surrounds us and is a central part of our work, education, and home life. Now, more than ever, we rely on advancing technologies to help us with day-to-day life as well as the more complex tasks. We also rely heavily on technology to communicate. Every day we send voicemails, e-mails, text messages, and instant messages. We enter chat rooms, talk on our cell phones, post comments on social networking sites and even talk with each other over web-cams. With each new advancement people can be brought closer together, even if they are miles apart. However, there is also a downside that can occur in the midst of all this advancement. Many people run the risk of relying to heavily on things like email and text message to communicate, causing a lack of person-to-person interaction. Basically, if you aren’t careful and aware, the technology that was meant to further connect you to your loved ones can have the opposite affect and disconnect you, drawing you apart. Technology is a wonderful thing and can greatly help you stay in touch during times apart, but you have to have a balance between high-tech chatting and good old fashioned one-on-one communication in order to make your relationship (whether a friendship, family relationship, or romantic relationship) stay strong and connected.
