Modern technology and human intimacy
Recent decades have seen the rapid development of the modern technology. Some people believe that people become closer as a result of the development. There are several reasons for this phenomenon. Firstly, the cell phone takes place of the letters, so that we can communicate with each other at anywhere and at anytime. Secondly, with the development of the technology, we can drop at someone convienent by the vihicles such as bus, subways and planes.
However, others hold the idea against this. From their viewpoint, modern technology doesn't narrow the gap, on the contrary, it widen the gap. They think that we talk with people by phones and on line tools instead of face-to -face communicate, it wil let people indugle in the virtual world.
As far as I concerned, technology does play an important role in our day life, we must take advantages of it. If we cherish our friends and relatives, we should get colse to them in person. Otherwise, they will feel emotionally distant.
