Has modern technology impaired our communication and social skills?
These days modern technology takes an important place in our lives. Some people can't communicate with others without a technological device, and this is not good. In the previous generations, like ours parents, didn't need the technology to express what the thought or what they wanted, they just said it. But nowadays the communication has changed.
The young people find it difficult, they don't know how to express themselves correctly without a screen. And this is because they were grown up with a cellphone or another kind of devices their entire life. It's easier to tell somebody an annoying thing behind a screen than tell that face to face. For example: when you fight with a friend and you have to fix the problem because you realized that you were wrong. The first thing that a teenager think is to send an email or a text,which express all of his feelings. They don't even think about telling in their friend's face "I'm sorry". They are not capable to use their social skills and tell the other a simply word as a forgiveness. So the first skills that the people lost with technology is to communicate face to face with others.
If you can't speak with someone in person it doesn't mean that you can't communicate with others. It's just that you have lost the real communication with the people. Nowadays for our generation is strange to express the feelings in public, say someone "I love you" without an emoji, or stay away with the phone a least 10 minutes. They are communicated each other but behind the socials apps.
Maybe some of you are thinking that it is not a big deal or that it is better for us, but I don't think so. In my opinion is better to say the things directly face to face than in a email. Because when you talk with someone in person you can see his face and his real feelings,and just with a look you can realized how is he feeling. Nerveless in a text or in an email you can't know how is the other feeling, you just read what he sent to you, and many times you can't understand what he really means so the both receive an a different message. If you want to say something to somebody, make sure that you can do it in person and in that way there is not a missing standing.
