Is technology bringing us closer together or pushing us further apart?

Absolutely yes. We spend more time in our houses focused on computers and devices than we do having face-to-face interactions with our friends, families and neighbors.
Years ago, people spent less time alone because there was little to do. No it seems that viewing and interacting with multimedia content is more interesting than conversing in real time.
Although social media on the surface makes us more social, much time is spent merely broadcasting one's own content and ignoring the content of others.

∙ 14y agoIn modern society, everything, from shopping to entertainment to even social interacting, is done online. So the internet, not speaking of other technology, brings us apart physically, in that it is often easier and quicker to stay home and online than to go out and do activities in the "real world." In other words, there is less emphasis on people hanging out in real life, so they do it online, and are in consequence missing out on many physical interactions. Or such is my thoughts on the matter.

How technology has affected your life?
Technology with its rapid growing speed is influencing old ways of doing daily affairs. We don't need anymore to move around to handle different tasks and chores since all of them will be done in a matter of pushing a botton located on a remote control. Nobody can deny that technology has brought comfort to our lives, but almost all of us confess this fact that technology by itself has got a lot of deficits that in long term will cause a lot of side effects either physically or emotionally. This is a fact that through the multi-madia and the wide spread range of webs ( Internet) the concept of time and distance have been vanished and people can keep in touch with each other by means of such facilities. The negative view is the fact that they keep in touch in a virtual world not natural. Via the webs and maild the emotional feelings and thoughts can not be transfered. People can convey their attitudes and thoughts much more efectively when they are close to each other.
