How technology has changed our relationships Technology has improved the way we live. Due to numerous technological advances, most Americans will not be able to live without it. The most impactful revolution that has occurred in the social life of a normal American is the digital revolution. The revolution brought new ways of communicating. With social media, Americans can now easily connect with friends and family around the world. Many means of communication were born from the digital revolution. Facebook is the social media platform that has captured this generation. It's universal. If one does not have a Facebook account, the individual is defamed. Without Facebook, this person will lose status updates and photos from their friends. In the eyes of a millennial this individual would be antisocial. Facebook is popular for the way it connects users with their friends. A person's life is reflected on Facebook. Since so much of someone's life takes place on Facebook, anyone can get an idea of ​​what's going on in their life. This is advantageous for parents who are away from their children in college or simply away from the nursery. A visual image is more appealing than reading a long blog about an individual's day. With Facebook, someone can post albums at a time and share a special event that happened recently. Instant messaging has improved the speed with which users can communicate with each other. If they see that their friend is online, all they have to do is send a message with the word "Hey". Facebook allows users to connect with friends in distant time zones. Twitter and Instagram are social media sites that allow users to communicate with others. Twitter is used to communicate small thoughts. Pe...... middle of paper ...... ships are being retrofitted. They satisfy the very need of Americans, something that does not take time. The sites use algorithms to match someone with a compatible date. After friends are matched, they start emailing or chatting. Sometimes dates emerge from these conversations and the couple ends up getting married. But most of the time nothing happens. What technology has done is make users superficial. With social media everyone sees the profile and that's it. The profile is the preventive judgment that others may have about the user. Yes, the Digital Revolution has changed the way relationships are perceived, but is a relationship without this social protocol really useless? There is more to someone than what the profile says and that is something this generation may be missing. In this fast-paced, short-attention-span society, no one can be blamed for just looking at the profile.
