Do you agree or disagree with the following


statement: “Technology has had a
negative effect on relationships between
friends and family.” Provide specific
details and examples to explain your
answer
Please choose a site and provide
examples (make sure to express if you
agree or desagree), let me know if you
have any questions
Weekdays
Positive Negative
I disagree with the statement
Gretty: countries / activities
Erika: facilitate, simple, hours, find
I don’t use cell phone in my work.
Technology has had a negative effect on
relationships between friends and
family.
In my opinion, technology has positive and
negative effects in relationships but I agree
with this statement because I think that
communication face to face is really
important.
- Nowadays families have dinner together
but without talking because they are busy
using the cellphone.
- Parents usually don’t pay attention to their
children because they get distracted in
social media.
- In addition, communication between
friends is mostly virtually now and we
rarely get together in person.
So, that’s why I believe that technology has a
bad effect on relationships because people
are more distant every day and they don’t
talk in person.

I could see the fireworks
