Technology: the bridge of relationships

The start of the new decade, 2020, so far has to be one of the worst years in everyone's lives.
This year has not only made an economic indifference all over the world but also in people's
personal lives. Nevertheless, thanks to the technology because of which people are still being
able to function somewhat properly. Because of technology, we are still being able to
communicate and live life on a better scale than previous years. Technology has quickly become
a virtual bridge in relationships by becoming a mode of communication between couples, a
subject to discuss with ones' parents and source of entertainment amongst friends groups.

To begin with, technology has been a huge blessing to the lives of couples. In this modern age of
times, there are many couples who do not live together due to their courses of occupation; they
do not have the luxury of living together. For them, the only to communicate with their partners
is through technology such as mobile phones and electronic tablets and so on. For example, due
to the pandemic outbreak, many couples who are medical professionals hardly get the time to
interact with their partners and families. Technological advances like, video calls with their
loved ones act as a motivational factor for them to work hard. However, technological facilities
are not useful to couples but everyone else too.

Moving along, with technology advancing faster than the time it gets difficult for the older
generation to keep up with it. The younger generation; since they are more invested with
technology, can help their parents and older relatives with technology. Surprisingly, it can be a
good topic to discuss with family and as a result a good time for family bonding. For example, if
the mother is having a problem with her cell phone she can ask her children about it, naturally,
her children will explain to her about the problem. This can be a good source to start a
conversation, a topic that both parties are genuinely interested to talk about.

Lastly, technology has been proven to be a great source of entertainment between friends groups.
Technology like play-stations or game-boys has allowed another source of entertainment in
people's lives. Sitting idle often leads younger minds to do things that are not healthy for them,
for example doing drugs. With the help of technology, now they will not be sitting idle, instead,
they can just play on screens with their friends. On the contrary, access to many online games
has been a negative impact on many young minds. Many of them now prefer to just seat home
alone with their playing devices rather than actually going out and play.

In conclusion, while technology comes with both positive and negative aspects, it is really up to
the individual to make their choice. Technology has been a blessing in times of distress and also
a bridge between relationships. Technology has become an integral part of all human lives and
will remain so in the future.
