In a recent article discussing the effects of technology on communication, the author states that while technology has made communication faster, it has also led to a decline in face-to-face interactions. Support for this argument can be found in various studies.
According to research conducted by the University of Michigan, 70% of participants reported feeling more isolated despite frequent virtual communication. Additionally, a survey by a leading communication journal indicated that over half of the respondents preferred texting to in-person conversations. As technology continues to advance, the implications for personal relationships will require careful examination.
