Empathy in Technology

Technology should used as a revolutionary form of communication, making all of our lives better. However, it does the opposite. Technology hurts society because it takes away the personable and human contact. People bece distant from one another and rarely talk in person anymore. No one cares about maintaining relationships because they can just hide behind their phone screen or social media account. When people are put in tough situations, they don't know how to react anymore because they are used to communicating through social media. Technology is killing all the empathy that is left in the world.

  1. I completely agree with this post. Yes, technology has its benefits and positive features, but it also has its fair share of negatives. Technology is taking away face to face conversations. There is no more empathy because of the technology removing the personal human contact.
