Easy to contact, Going to lonely
As the speed of technology development is being accelerated, there are a number of changes on our lives. Especially in relationship between people, the effect of IT technology is crucial.
Long time ago, our ancestors had to communicate each other with face-to-face. After improving alphabet, they could contact to others in letter. And that is still useful communication measure. Electricity was found and the technology was going on, people could hear other’s voice with non face-to-face. That was, telephone, considered to ‘the Revolution’ in that period. However, nowadays trend is going to return the text, even it is not written on the paper, but on the screen.
Development of IT technology, especially computer network and smart phone would open the season that everyone could contact with other people just in their house or bus stop. For example, Facebook which is one of the most popular social network services is so universal that anyone could find and contact not only their friends but also acquintances. Therefore, it is very easy to contact with someone and say ‘How are you?’ in now. However, this tendency contributes to make more easy-contact relationship than the deep one. Thus, ironically, people might feel lonely more than in the past although they always find and contact with people’s attention. It shows technology’s other side effect that people feel uncomfortable in deep and serious relationship because it is hard to know and understand other’s real mind through on-line community.
In conclusion, there are both positive and negative outcomes on communicating with high-tech pursuits. It is more easier comparing to the past, but without heart-moving communication. Therefore people should control their communication measure in some cases. Sometimes the conventional letter is better than text messages. | |
