Evaluating Technology's Impact on Relationships

Read the following excerpt from a discussion on the impact of technology on human relationships:

In the digital age, where smartphones and social media dominate communication, the quality of our relationships is being called into question. Many argue that while technology connects us, it simultaneously distances us from meaningful interactions. Studies have highlighted an increase in loneliness among individuals who depend heavily on digital communication. However, proponents of technology suggest that these platforms provide spaces for authentic expressions of identity and foster connections that may not be possible in face-to-face interactions. The debate continues as society navigates the balance between technology use and maintaining genuine human connections.
