Are you grateful for technology and the advancements?

It is often said that with the advent of technology, people have distanced themselves from relationships because they are too busy looking in their phone..

Who knew in the 1960's, 70's and 80's that we will be able to communicate with people from across the world in real time ?

That the scope to be more connected has increased; that we can cultivate and nurture relationships with far more people than before.

Sure. One might argue that our resilience and patience to make the relationship work has gone down because one frivolous argument happens and there's always an escape route to block the person right away.

There are pros and cons and I'm inclined towards the former.

What do you think ?

Generally it seems to have had a negative impact but probably more so to do with peoples inability to control their usage rather than the technology itself. I truly believe peoples technology usage should be limited as overuse tends to lead to chaos.

@SW-User That's ok when we're talking about adults but tech is particularly destructive to kids and I'm very much for limited usage until one turns 18.
