Advantages and Limitations

Because of technology I'm abled to keep in contact with all my friends and family, even those who don't live in the same city as me. Technology keeps me connected to the news and things going on in my city, state, country and world via the Internet, television, applications, social networks and podcasts.  I am able to search for any answers i have on a daily basis about trivial things through technology in an instant and that has made me wiser and more informed.  However technology does have its limitations.  The biggest limitation i can think of is that it creates a wall between people and their interactions. Technology is a poor substitute for face to face human interaction/connection.  It also gives people a scapegoat for avoiding  "in person"confrontation, they have become more willing to discuss about necessary and confrontational topics via text or e-mail to avoid any huge fight or face to face awkwardness.  This might eliminate any awkwardness or feelings getting hurt but it only prolongs the inevitable because most often discussions through text, e-mail etc are taken out of context, and most often the root of the problem isn't fixed.
