Nowadays,
people easily have access to technology. Internet, laptops, cell phones are key
factors of that. However, with all these applied science, we tent to live our
lives through it. Facebook, Twitter, even our e-mails are forms of
communication that make us to be always connected to a website. When was the
last time that you did not stay front a computer for a long time? And by a long
time I am referring to a year. Do you remember? I do not think so.
During
the last years, people in companies started to use internet as a source to
exchange information with their workers. It is a fast way to be in contact with
employees. Nevertheless, it is normal that people get tired of receiving
messages or emails all the time. The
professor of London’s Global University, Caroline Sauvajol-Rialland, found out
in a study that “excessive emails and general information result in social
and psychological risks to employees and impoverishes the company”. Those workers
spend 30% of their time at work attending calls or emails that demand immediate
answers. Because of that, people get stress easily and their family lives start
to disappear.
We
are becoming slaves of technology and its changes. It would not surprise me
that in a few years, the only way to show that we care for our beloved ones
will be through internet. What do you think?
I agree with you. I think we are already using the internet in order to demonstrate our love to our beloved ones, which I think, it’s not so bad. In the case of facebook, as you mentioned it, I consider it a useful form of communication to be in contact with the people I love and I’m sure it means the same for a lot of people.
ReplyDeleteFrom this point, I believe one must try to find a balance when using these new kinds of technological devices and new forms of communication, because they are not the problem; the problem is the function and use we assigned them; therefore, we’ve become slaves of them.
As Sergio said, it is al about finding a balance, facebook, other socialnetworks and internet tools in general can be very useful, even to communicate with the people we love when we can communicate personally, the problem is when we actually can do it face to face, but we still prefer use the internet.
