10 Ways Technology Is Affecting Human To Human Relationships

We do not really realize it, but electronic devices and the usage of technology is the cause of our society detracting from face to face communication. For example:

1. People use their phones to text and call for every little situation.

It's just so natural for us to use phones to communicate. We have forgotten about making actual conversation in person to the point where sometimes it can be uncomfortable

2. Some even talk about gossip through the phone instead of hanging out and talking.

What ever happen to getting together at the mall and telling each other the “chisme” ? Now we just wait until we get home to tell our friends about our day through our electronic devices.

3. Social media has become our LIVES….

Our feelings, our outfits, our meals, what we currently are doing gets posted almost all the time on Snap Chat, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Has there ever been a time where you did not post anything at all and just talked to those around you?

4. Society uses social media to rewrite who they are. What is wrong with that?

Sometimes we like to add a little extra on our profiles, whether they are true or not. So, when a person meets up with another person face to face, and all of a sudden they are nothing like what they said they were on their bio…. AWKWARD….

5. Dating websites are the new “love at first sight”

Swipe right on Tinder and get yourself a match to your new future “bae”. These kind of websites are what some use to find themselves a significant other because it can be hard to find a potential “bae” on their own. Things just get too awkward in person now.

6. Being approached by someone in person is now considered creepy.

Ever noticed how now some people rather flirt online with a person they barely met, than a person that comes up to them in person? Because we are so used to doing everything through our electronic devices, when someone approaches us in person we start acting a bit different.

7. Humans will eventually become more robotic in time.

Because we are so used to using our devices on a daily basis, it becomes harder for us comfortable interact with one another without being scared to talk to each other

8. Technology is causing people to lose their social skills

Humans can not have good social skills if they are uncomfortable with having a real human to human discussions and relationships. We should not be depending on technology to establish our personal relationships.

9. People are forgetting how significant face to face conversations are

Being able to connect with someone in person is super important. Sometimes talking to a person face to face can add intimacy and significance to the moment. Always relying on technology can cause a person to have awkward conversions, but if we bring back up front convos, it can help take away those weird moments.

10. So let's put down our electronic devices for a moment

Who knows you might just enjoy not using technology for a while. Take a moment to observe what is around you and go make some new friends outside of your social media.
