With the influx of social media sites and apps, people have established images through facebook, instagram, and twitter. Every instagram picture kids post expecting people's approval, while facebook statutes are either hopeless cries or joyful celebrations. Twitter where your every thought should be shared, constant updates of your daily thinking.
Technology has taken away the personal communication and trust that comes with having a conversation eye to eye, most people can't they either stutter or be shy and end it quick. Technology has helped us shape the world, but it also hurt us. How to solve this? How many people you know can hold a steady, good conversation?
Hi !For me, technology is helping to find new friends in real life. (correspondence after meeting face to face) Technology helps to broaden their horizons (Extend your knowledge of) the Internet is a mega-library. In which a lot of useful information. It helps a lot in business and personal life. you get closer to those people who are thousands of miles away. I not know people who have lost the skills of real communication (face to face). To me it does not prevent conduct a friendly and professional talk in real life. Quite the contrary. Technology help me to reduce the time. Helping to keep abreast of events. I think the problem is not technology. The problem in humans. Every sane person knows that the real world is life. Take a hobby, business, information, search for friends. Technology is just a way to achieve the goal of in real life.

P.S. I would be shocked if you said more than 5?
It is having this effect. Many of us text, Facebook or twitter instead of talking on the phone or in person. A phone call or even a handwritten letter is still a truly personal way to communicate. To boot, We have become glued to our smartphones. You see dates, groups of people out having dinner and they are all on their smartphones. We communicate more but talk less, And I have long said this.
D. Scott,Me and my friends talking on the phone more than the internet. I also am a business on the phone and in person. Through the Internet only get an offer or the documentation.dinner with smarfonom in your ears? It's not in my life. I do not understand this inseparability of human technology.This is sad! Man loses so many skills that nature has given.

Consumers could always try taking a hand at actively rejecting these technologies...I mean, ultimately, we can always survive without these things, right? I don't use Twitter, no longer use Facebook, and have never used Instagram. I don't even have a smartphone, since I currently still use a traditional flip cell phone.
IMO, Web 1.0 was much better, groundbreaking, and more beneficial to everyday people than Web 2.0 will ever be anyway...
I am and have always been a painfully shy person. If it weren't for technology, I wouldn't have any friends. Technology has nothing to do with my shyness. My personality does.

Is this substantiated? Can you point to data or a study that supports your claim?
And, even if it is true, does the complementary communication technology provide compensate for any degraded non technical communication? Meaning, even if technology degraded face to face communication by 5%, might technology have increased overall communication by 50%?
Shyness is a feature of a good man. Kaye Star,Friends virtual or you see them face to face?
Both, but I speak to my internet friends more often than my physically close ones. I do know what they look like, however.
