Post 6: Technology and social relations.

Hello good people!
Today I'm going to talk and give my opinion about something controversial: How technology has affected relationships between the people.
This has been a conversation theme since the invention of the smartphones. Little computers that you can carry everywhere you want and give you acces to the internet wherever you are. Of course, this was a very big improvement on almost every aspect of comunication, close and worldwide. The problen is that some failures have come to the light. Not mechanical, but human.

''The posibility to be conected to the world-web whenever we want to, had a big impact on social relations. The use of the smartphones has made people less aware of their actual situation and made them robot-like, disconecting from society.''
This is a quote that I personally don't agree with. I think it is up to the person. Yeah, having something like internet everywhere its kinda tempting, but you have to know the point where it leaves you aside of the real interaction with people.
This point is very important, because lots of people use this tool to be able to talk, maybe, with people they can't talk most of the time. Maybe to know new people, to learn, to do what they weren't able to do before.
I personally use it all day long, to speak with my classmates, to know what happened the day I missed classes, etc.
The problem is seen when people observe things like this:

The lack of interest on each other based on the posibility of being somewhere else. This is what seems to be wrong, but the problem is that examples like this didn't appeared with the emerge of the smartphones...

It's completely our fault. We are the ones who try to avoid the interactions. The smartphones are just tools that made it easier.

We need to focus on the real problems, and those aren't the machines. The problem are the ones misusing them.

That' my point of view. Hope you agree with me :)
