Technology The past decades have witnessed a fantastic spurt in sci-tech, and this engine empowers a profound shift in the way people interact with each other recently. However, this sort of shift on relationships between individuals in society can be viewed as a positive mainstream in spite of a few cons. Firstly, it is evident that technology reduces the restriction on distance in interpersonal contract. There are various apps like Facetime and We-chat coming into being to enable us to chat with friends thousands of miles away. All we need is just a portable electronic device such as an iphone with network available. What’s more, hi-tech easy to available renders us more opportunities to get acquaintance with more people. For example, Twitter as well as a variety of social networking sites serves as a platform for users from different backgrounds to establish friendship on the basis of similar interest. It is this kind of tech-wonders that extend our communication circle, thus to avoid feeling lonely especially for those children without brothers or sisters. Another surprise of this high-tech we can not neglect is its contribution to the improvement on the accuracy of information collected. It can make our words clear enough to be understood via phone calls. Besides, e-mails and text messages sharply shorten the time spent on the delivery of information, all of which promotes the efficiency and effect of our action. All in all, I believe that the effects on relationship brought by the hi-tech are absolutely a positive mark of the progress in human history, though there exist some drawbacks in a sense such as people with little awareness of self-protection are easy to be cheated online, and the addiction of making friends with unknown people may lead to the indifference among families and friends in reality, etc. Its solution to these minor drawbacks lies in our ability of distinguishing between the true and the false.
