Do you think technology is drawing people apart? In the article, “Hi-tech Brings Families together” it explains how people use cell phones, texting and emailing to keep in contact. It is true that it keeps people in contact much easier, but, some people do go overboard. This reminds me of my sister who did four thousand text messages in one month and it was a one hundred dollar fee. So now we have unlimited texting to make sure it won’t happen again. Now days 58% of people have two computers in their homes when just 50 years ago it was only the colleges and big companies that owned computers.
New technology is good because studies show that it has increased long distance family contact by almost 50%. Also it was found out that 25% spend less time watching TV because of the new technology. This is probably because they’re spending more time on the phone or computer. There are many arguments going both ways that are both true. It does keep us in contact more but also limits our social life with family and friends. Either way, technology has and will continue to affect the world we live in forever.
