----------TECHNOLOGY-------- Is technology reducing the quality of human interaction?
Our Stand YES. Technology does reduce the quality of human interaction
Introduction Technology Use of scientific knowledge to manufacture machinery and equipment that provides convenience in our lives. Human Interaction Mutual interactions between two or more humans.
Technology During the 21st Century, due to technological advancements, it has improved the comfort of our lives. e.g. Smart phones, Laptops, Tablets
Social Media Enable people to interact and share virtually. In facebook alone, there are 1.4 billion users. There are still many platforms like twitter and YouTube.
HOWEVER …….
Disadvantages Slowly, technology has disconnected us from the world physically, leading us into a state of isolation. Isolation then leads to the lack of interaction between people, reducing quality of human interaction
Why? Instead of spending time in person with friends, we just call, text or instant message them. When people are together, Some people may still use their phone (e.g. texting, surfing the internet)
Problems We May Face SELF-CENTRED| ANTI-SOCIAL| TENSIONS & MISUNDERSTANDINGS
Anti-Social|Self-Centered Less friendly and helpful Reluctant to make friend. More likely to cause problems or troubles Person’s attitude may influence surrounding people’s thoughts.
Tensions and Misunderstandings Lack of understanding between both parties Tensions and misunderstandings between friends and family members.
THE END Thank you

How does technology cause misunderstanding and tension? Face to face interaction can also cause tension. By texting we cannot express our feelings-when meeting in real life we cannot experience the physical being of the person, feel the person’s presence. Texting may not show the true feelings of the person( cannot see body language)
How does technology make people more self-centered? By isolating oneself, we only work for the benefit of oneself the person is in a virtual world of only himself without having to care for others.
Misuse of technology that leads to the reduce in quality of human interaction? Technology covers mostly social media E.g. texting
People make friends through social media They may not know the person The ‘friendship’ may not be true
There are some people who become closer through social media. That is only a small handful
