It is evident that technology has transformed the and influenced relationships in a variety of ways. In my opinion, there are both positive and negative effects of this. The principal way in which relationships have been affected is that they tend to be at a distance rather than face-to-face. The advent of the internet has made it easy for business owners to communicate across the world, with remote job opportunities one call away. Online educational programs are available for people residing in different countries, and it is no longer a dream to attend live classes . Not only this, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have revolutionized relationships, be it making online friendships with people from other countries or staying in touch with loved ones. technology has influenced relationships in a positive way. However, despite these advances, the quality of interaction has significantly declined in several respects. If people are developing most of their relationships online, this means that they may also have less contact. This kind of contact on a personal level is important for human beings to feel wanted and a part of society. This may be a particular problem for children's social development as they used to be seen playing out on the streets but are now too often indoors. Technology can also mean people are detached from what is going on around them even when they are out, the many people staring into their mobile phones as they travel or walk around. In , technology has brought some in the ways people interact with each other. However, there are also some negative impacts of technology on the types of relationships people make.
