In today’s society, technology has enhanced our society's interactions to a more efficient level. But it has created a sense of urgency when things aren't as quick as we want them to be. Everything is available at our fingertips in just a click or a finger swipe away. This has increased our effectiveness and adaptability levels, and helped form new contacts, connections, and networks that previously would have been impossible without the internet or media devices. The question is, how much does technology help humans and how much could it potentially hurt us?
Over 73% of Americans utilize technology on a daily basis. Nearly 94% of teens between the ages of 12 and 17 use the internet. The data suggests that technology is not only popular among the younger generations, but it’s mandatory. Most bloggers on the Web are aged 21-34, the most users of Facebook are under the age of 21, and the commonly used form of communication used by teens is instant messaging and texting, nearly making phone calls or emailing obsolete. The number of ways we can be contacted instantly aides in the immediate retrieval of information at a more constant rate. Outside our screens of social networking, the effort for real interaction with other humans face-to-face becomes much harder because we’re continuously updating, linking, and connecting.
