Implications of Technology on Personal Relationships

In the following passage, the author reflects on the societal implications of relying on technology for personal relationships:

"As I scrolled through countless filtered images on my phone, I couldn’t help but wonder how many genuine connections were being sacrificed at the altar of convenience. While technology has allowed us to connect with friends from distant lands with just the tap of a finger, it simultaneously fosters a landscape where face-to-face interactions are rare and awkward. I remembered a time when laughter was shared in person, not through emojis or memes. What would the future hold if this trend continued? Would we awaken one day to find that the warmth of human connection had been replaced by the cold glow of a screen?"
