CONS.

CONS: technology can backfire on relationships and have the opposite effect on them. It can cause dependence. Reduce socializing It can be time consumingPeople can become addict to social networks,

mobile, and and this can result in social isolation and a decline in social interaction

CONS.All technologies should be used with

responsibility. Specially in the case of children, who should be under their parents’ supervision. Although technology seems to have only benefited the way of life, this is not always true. Only if used in a responsible way, technology will always have a beneficial effect. Be aware that personal relationships should prevail upon virtual ones.
