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 ?

Is this about relationships only? If so, then technology is giving us more choices, not allowing us to distance ourselves. Technology was not required for the latter.
