Technology has made it possible for people to have more regular contact
with each other through social media. This is because smartphones have
applications,
like Facebook and WhatsApp, which are designed to make it
easy to talk, write messages and send pictures to other people. As a result
of this, the interaction between humans has also changed from mainly
physical to mostly digital. For example,
an average Swedish person
interacts with 15 friends every day through social media but only have
physical contact with two.
This development must be seen as negative, because physical meetings
are needed for human health. It is important
to meet other humans in
person, because it creates an environment where people can interact in a
more complex way. This is because all senses can be used, making it is
possible
to touch, smell and hear things that would be impossible through
an application. For example, during the Corona-pandemic,
many people
work from home and Swedish doctors have noticed an increase in the
number of patients with mental illness due to the lack of physical contact
with friends and colleagues.
In conclusion, people
´
s interactions have changed because of
technology
and the relationships nowadays are more regular but less physical. I
believe this is a negative development because humans need physical
meetings to feel good.
