Technology: Has it brought US closer or further apart?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

Has it brought us physically closer? No. It seems that face-to-face human interaction time might have decreased with the advent of the telephone and now the Internet. But we can’t forget that these technological tools have the potential to connect people on a meaningful level. With that said, I don’t think it’s healthy if the majority of someone’s human interaction is done via the internet or texting, etc. I think nothing beats old fashioned face time. Sure it can be more difficult or inconvenient but you learn more about yourself when dealing with people in real life.
