Technology provides more than a way of communication. However, it is becoming the only way to communicate for our teens. It has made face-to-face interaction 1 often and has made a negative①effect on the social abilities of the teens.
These days we communicate on websites like Facebook, but I wonder why we have no in-person friendships. I see teens texting②2. They text while talking to someone else, at the dinner table, in the car and at the movies. This tiny piece of plastic is distracting③ teens from the real world.
As you can see, I am very much 3 technology but there are ways that helps. It helps many people stay in touch with friends that might have moved away. In my life, I will have to move from my friends from time to time. With the help of Wechat, it can be easy to 4them and to ask if they would like to do something in person. Staying in touch can be done in person as much as over technology.
Some people have 5 making new friends and the Internet provides ways to meet new people through chat rooms. I believe relationships built online can be a little eccentric④. One study suggests that online relationships simply take longer to develop than those face-to-face.
Online relationships can be 6 because you never know who's on the other side of the chat. You can become more open over the Internet if you don't have a chance to meet others in real life. Meeting people online can give you confidence, but I believe it also tears you down. Online relationships will either build you up or break you down. Most importantly, don't let keyboards be the key to your heart.
