A Two-Edged Sword in the Developement of Human Interaction

In the 21st century, technology, the main driving force behind the productivity, has played a pivotal role in transforming the ways in which we interact. Thus, a spirited debate has risen wheather technological developement is a blessing or a curse to people's relationships. In my opinion, advanced technology provides more negative developments, regardless of some recognized benefits.

It cannot be denied that techmology has influenced our ability to interact in many ways. In term of tiem and space, innovative of inventions, such as mobile phones, bring great efficiency and convinience, gradually eliminating the restrictions of communication with others. Specificially, no matter where the individuals may live and what they do, we can chat to them and exchange ideas with them by making a phone call, which is really quick and easy. More importantly, with access to the internet, we can experience new forms of relationship: online chating and internet social network. Unlike the face to face relationship, online relationship takes shorter time and fewer conditions to establish. Insdead of knowing each other very well, including how he looks and where he lives, sharing the similar ideas well and seemingly suitable personality are rather the key factors.

Of course, it is beneficial for technology to make communications efficient and easy. However, some problems follow after those benefits. With such advanced technology, people tend to spend more time staying at home and sitting in front of computer screen rather than going out to visit friends. As a result, fewer 'true' talks and visits render the relationship fake and full of uncertainties, existing potential cheat and crimes, which will be detrimental to the social safety and security. For instant, some dishonest persons may make use of online chatting to gain your trust and then commit cheating on your money and property.

In conclusion, the state-of-art technology is a two-edged sword, which brings both positive and negative developments of relationships, while such negative ones outweighs the opposite ones. Therefore, it is yet a long way for us to control changing relationships and communications in our daily life.
