The impact of technology on our life

Nowadays we’re able to communicate with people through mobile phones and we can see each other through a small screen on smart phones even if we’re thousands of kilometres away.  On the contrary, it’s not always an advantage. Everyone can see on our Facebook profile how many friends we have in our friends list. But how many real and true friends do we have? Moreover, we publicly say where exactly we’re and what we’re doing. But most of the time we don’t see the consequences it can have. Not all the people use modern technology for a good reason. There are paedophiles, stalkers and a lot of strangers that can become very dangerous because of the data we share on the Internet. 

Our lives are full of smart phones, tablets, laptops, etc., we’re connected to the whole world, we can transfer ourselves to exotic places, play poker, watch live streaming concert and mainly we can chat with more than just one friend at the same time. But if you look behind the screen, you see a lonely person sitting at home without any friends and concerts, only surrounded by his/her “technological kingdom”. On the other hand, we don’t know how to communicate with people face-to-face, we aren’t used to react without thinking of the proper answer, and mostly we don’t enjoy anything around us when we don’t watch it through a screen.

In conclusion, social media networks help us to connect with other people, learn new things, see interesting places, and make us feel like we belong in a community that shares our opinions and believes. Nevertheless, we should have some real friends to talk to face-to-face; we should enjoy doing some sport or any activity (e. g. cooking, fishing, participation in public affairs), because the Internet will never replace the real friends and life. Don’t let technology overtake your life!
