Relationships and Technology
Written by: CarlaPR April 3rd, 2009 General, Social Media | leave a response
As a member of Gen Y, I particularly appreciate technology. I love the internet. I love all the people I’ve met through blogging. I know people from almost every continent, and I’ve been able to share my experiences with them and share
I also love texting. I love how convenient it is. I don’t actually know how I ever managed before. I long for the day when I can have my very own Crackberry.
Facebook? I love it. I have been able to find and talk to people I haven’t seen in years. It makes me so happy to keep in touch with my high school buddies, my public relations classmates, my family, etc.
I know several people who believe technology impairs personal relationships. I can’t agree. I don’t think I’m particularly socially impaired, despite my frequent use of technology. I interact more with people because of social networking than I ever did before.
What do you guys think? Would it be better if we could turn back the clock and not use social networking anymore? Are computers the ruination of civilization? (My uncle said this to The Boyfriend, who has two degrees in computing science. It was hilarious.)

i have a very very close relationship with facebook.
sometimes i think it’s taking me over but for the most part it’s fantastic. how else can you plan random curry and rockband nights if you don’t have anyone’s phone number!?

I do love Facebook. I find it is indispensable for planning events, that’s true! A very good point, Jen!
Thanks for the comment!

Couldn’t agree more! I go out, AND plan more events than I have in the past. It’s great.
And where else are you supposed to creep?
Well, actually. I don’t really think it’s creeping. If people want to put photos up or share a bunch of information - it’s public and they know it.
