Technology – drawing people together.

Diajeng Sekar Kalyana Sugarda (Gr.12)

As time goes by, technology became advanced and the way we communicate with other people
evolved. Technology is the perfect platform for instant communication. Some might say this
brings people closer, others say the opposite. This essay discusses how technology does bring
people closer.
Communication has been the main reason to why we use our devices so much. whether it is
from social media or messages. The point of interacting through technology, is that
communication can be done whenever to whoever. This is especially useful for people who has
loved ones but are seperated by distance. Staying in contact would've been a big problem if it
weren't for our phones.
Advanced technology means that we have access to pretty much anything. This includes
strangers from across the world. Some people would rather talk to the person on their phone
instead of interacting with the people they know in real life. This creates distance between
individuals.
This all goes back to one point and one point only: How do they make use of the technology.
The only reason as to why it is able to create more distance between people is because of the
person itself. The device is not in the wrong here. That is why younger people need to be taught
the right way on using these devices.
Before it does create disruption, I think preventing it from happening is possible. Technology is
made to make our lives more efficient. We should continue seeing the good it brings us all, as it
should be.
