I think that the technological advancements that we have been able to take advantage of since just a couple of years ago, completely changed the way people interact between themselves every single day. I don't think that it's bad, don't get me wrong, I'm sure that as always there is more to it than meets the eye.
Let's take a quick look on Facebook and Twitter. What did we have before them? Phones? Of course, but how many contacts does a regular mobile phone user have? Research reveals that a regular Joe will have around 50 contacts in his mobile phonebook. That is of course without all the synchronised numbers from Facebook, Gmail and so on. That's actually precisely what I want to say - how many contacts would you have if they weren't synched with the cloud, social media and e-mail? I would have probably like... 30. Ok, I might get to the average 50 but I'm really not sure about that.
On the other hand the average number Facebook friends per person in US in the 2014 was 350 - make the math. Is it bad? Not necessarily, I love the fact that I can reach and get updates about people I was really close with in the past but now, our paths have went into different directions. However, it's very important to know where the border lies. Everybody should know what kind of dangers and problems a person, especially young person, can stumble upon when they are online. We should educate people how to make their social networks profiles safer.
I believe that technology gave us the best tools in the history of human development to make sure that our relations with other people stay intact even though we can't speak in person anymore. It is our choice however, how we use them.

As it is
rightly said "Every invention has its advantages and its
disadvantages"
Now as science and technologies have progressed the inventions of new gadgets have a high demand among all ages especially in the teenagers.
Teenagers and their relationship with elders esp. their parents have been affected to a level which is unimaginable.
I-pads, I-phones, Anroids installed phones, laptops etc have reached the heart and minds of people but have adversely effecting their social relation.
People now-a-days find it easier to sit at home and video chat that meet their friends.
They over-indulge themselves in indoor computer games rather than playing outdoor games and making new friends.
These technical gadgets just do not have a great impact on our relationships but also on our studies, our behavior and our constant mood swings.
The relationship between parents and children have been affected the most as neither of them has time for real communication either of them are busy with their own work.
The children are either busy chatting, or logging themselves in social networking sites, etc. and hence they do not have real time to spare with their family.
