this post was inspired on and article i read today on the newspaper, we live in a world thats in constant movement and change where sometimes we dont pay much attention to some things that can be influential and important someday.
one of these things is how more and more each day we have become more dependent on technology, though it can help sometimes there are things only a person can do nonrelated to that but just as important i grew up in a medium that until the late 90s was largely devoid of technology in this case computers and cellphones.
who would have known that a few years later they have become part of our culture and our mode of interacting with others, i still remember when telegrams and handwritten letters were still used im guessing there are still some people who still do the second thing mentioned because its more personal a handwritten letter than and email thats true.
so why the title of the post well theres a new addiction that its now being actknowledged and that its addiction to technology, whether it be cellphones, social media sites, videogames mainly supposedly these were created to entertain people and for shortening distances between people. the thing is sometimes this could be more bad than good cases where teens spend half the day chatting on a social media site mainly facebook or are glued to their blackberry screen talking with their peers not paying attention to the world around them.
some people can become isolated and avoid any social interaction that doesnt have as a sort of medium the internet, its a bit scary when you hear cases were addiction to technology ends up in violence specially if its related to videogames but i never like to put everyone in the same category but that doesnt mean that it couldnt happen.
for anyone who reads this, whats your take on this. do you think social interaction is becoming less frequent because of the internet and when i mean that im talking about talking directly to a person instead of doing it through a computer.
