Youths of today are getting more connected to technology either by using phone or browsing online. Keyboards and keypads are becoming more attached to our heart. Technology is a way of communicating and social interaction among but is becoming the only way to communicate with today’s youth because it has made one on one interaction less frequent and has made a negative effect on the social abilities of the youth.


Technology is really a great way to stay entertained but it is disconnecting people. Internet users have many ways to be occupied online this days. internet users have the ability to communicate on social networking sites like facebook, ways to watch TV shows and videos mostly on YouTube, and play entertaining games, all while on the computer. And we wonder why we have no in-person friendships and dysfunctional families. Non-internet users spend 12.6 more minutes on average doing social activities, such as parties, sporting events, and person-to-person conversations. Internet users spend 34.3 minutes less than non-internet users with family and friends. Those who don’t switch off the computer, switches off all personal relationships with family and friends.


Technology like iPods and cell phones make a personal bubble and make it portable. Cell phones create a distraction from real life experiences and because of their ability to be taken anywhere, we see teens texting anywhere they can. Teens text while talking to someone else, at the dinner table, in the car if driving or not,at he movies, when walking, and worst of all in church. This tiny piece of plastic is distracting teens from the most important message of all. The message of God. iPods also create the distraction but it also sends a signal “visible from a good distance away, white earphones signal one thing to most people: don’t bother trying to talk to me” (Song). This action irritates people. These act are growing around so many people and someone just needs to pop them.


As you can tell, I am very much against technology but there are ways that it aids. It helps many people stay in touch with old friends that might have moved away or travel far, the internet make it easier for them to keep in touch with themselves. In my life, Staying in touch can be done in person as much as over technology.


Some people have trouble making new friends and the internet provides ways to meet new people through chat rooms and suggestions. I believe relationships built online can be a little eccentric but, one study suggests that online relationships simply take longer to develop than those face-to-face and eventually can become as rich. Online relationships can be dangerous because you never know who’s on the other side of the chat.


You can become more socialise over the internet if you don’t have a chance to meet others in real life. Meeting people online may give you confidence, but I believe it may also tears you down. Knowing that you didn’t have real friends and resorting to making them online can make you feel worthless. Online relationships will either build you up or break you down and some online relationship may be scam.


Data showed that as people used the internet more, they reported keeping up with fewer friends, so keep your friends. Don’t be sucked into the internet and leave others behind. Most importantly, don’t let keypads and keyboards be the key to your heart.
