Has peoples lives changed for the worst???
Is the use of technology starting to take away from our person-to-person interaction? Think about how often you grab your smart phone or tablet and text your friends instead of picking up the phone to call them or, better yet, making plans to hang out in person.
Technology is supposed to make us feel more connected by allowing us to stay in touch with our friends by using social media sites such as Facebook or Twitter and of course, texting. But are our smartphones getting in the way of socializing? Does technology make us feel more alone?
There is a term that is commonly used, "FOMO" -- short for fear of missing out. Yes, this is a real thing. If for some crazy reason you don't check your Twitter or Facebook news feed every 10 minutes are you really missing out?
The fact that we have become so dependent on knowing exactly what is going on in other people's lives is sad. We should be focusing on our own life and our own interactions and relationships with people.
Every invention has Pros and cons.
Technology definitely is becoming an addiction.
