How the technology affect the way people interact with each other With continually improving of the technology, each part of our life has been changing significantly. Pace of life and efficiency become more and more faster than any other times before. This thesis will look at that how technology affect the way people interact with each other and what its advantage and disadvantage is. Firstly, people travel faster than ever before. They can take much more shorter time to meet anyone at anytime and anywhere on the earth. For example, if you want to take a vacation from Beijing to Hawaii before 18th century, the sailboat will be your only choice, and the trip will take you around one month. If time go forward one hundred years, you can go on board a steamship, and it will be faster than sailboat but still need about one week to get there. Nowadays, you only need half one day by taking a fly. Secondly, people can communicate with each other more conveniently. You can speak with someone far away from you by simply picking up a phone or clicking some keys on keyboard, and you even can see his or her live video when talking. This image is unimaginable to our ancestors. Thirdly, when internet had been invented, we can buy myriad goods from all over the world instead of trading by face to face. In conclusion, technology have been changing our interact way on many aspects. Our life have become more convenient because of it. Anything has its dual character.Of course, technology can’t be excluded. When transport vehicles become more and more faster, accidents and havocs brought about cause serious death and damage. When mobile phone and computer become more popular, the interact time of face to face become more less. They prefer communicating with machine to talking with each other. However, if we can make our vehicles more safer and spend more time with your family and friends, these disadvantage can basically be avoided. So ,in my opinion, it is a positive to develop technology.
