Increased human access and connectivity
Internet platforms allow people to come together with individuals they would never meet
in person
Freelance work, the gig economy and online work are direct offshoots of technology.
Individuals who need certain services can see ads on job boards or freelance platforms.
Online jobs related to technology are also on the rise on these freelancing websites
Closing Distance
In previous times, distance was an issue in maintaining
relationships.
To this day, many individuals are plagued with addictions to technology in one form or
another, whether it's video games, YouTube, or other social networking sites due to false
connectivity impression.
Spending a fair amount of time on these platforms is one thing, but when technology
begins to interfere with individuals' abilities to engage with others in the real world, this is
when issues arise. For as much good as technology can do, it should never become so
powerful in someone's life that they are psychologically dependent upon it.
Avoidance Of Real-Life Interactions:
There is a certain emotional detachment that comes along with using technology to
avoid certain aspects of face-to-face relationships. This emotional detachment can lead
to rudeness or outright dismissal.
A Lack Of Focus:
Technology is an ideal tool for individuals who enjoy multitasking, which could be
considered one of the ways technology has helped us be more productive.
There are times were dividing your attention across multiple matters can lead to
cracks and missed details. People can easily open up their laptops and have
multiple tabs open, including work emails, Facebook, and funny videos on
YouTube. By splitting one's attention across multiple areas, certain relevant details
can go missing, thus leading to unintended consequences later down the line
Distraction From Real Life:
Complaints about people using their phones or tablets at inopportune times, such as dinner,
meetings, etc., are almost universal pet peeves. This is inherently problematic and can
certainly lead to fractured relationships if the behaviour is habitual.
Technology does not provide any replacement for psychological fulfilment that comes from
human relationships and people are facing an empathy paradox that despite close
interactions people are unable to enjoy psychological fulfilment from relationships.
