Families Before and Now

What happened to face-to-face communication?

•People have become more comfortable with thethought of texting a friend, rather than speakingto them in person

•Less face to face interactions

•Non verbal interactions likes eye contact, expres-sions, touch etc. are very crucial forms of social interac-tions that are natural in humans but slowly these are slipping away from our lives

 Decline in outdoor activities

Regular recreational or social activities take a back seat while social networking is the prime agenda

The younger generation today opts for playing on an XBOX rather than playing on the field and inter-acting with other kids

The older ones too, are more interested in surfing the net or exploring their smart phones and tablets in leisure time instead of hanging out with friends and family

An active life is slowly giving way to a rather confined and lazy digital world.

Conclusion

Technology is undoubtedly one of the big-gest human achievement till date. While using it to the right amount can be a great advan-tage, totaladdiction can affect our social life and humanrelations. Its up to us to decide whether to be friend it or let it be our master!
