Question J0 How do you imagine social interaction within 10
years, taking into consideration the impact of technology on human relations?
I strongly believe that technology has a definite 2sided impact on human relations:
There are positive and negative sides to correlation of technology and human relations, and I would like to review them in more detail.

EXTRA PROS
0 Some unobvious advantages are:0 Technology subliminally facilitates face-to-face
communication. People communicate more in real life, as services as check-ins (at Facebook or Foursquare) or events (Facebook) allow them to spontaneously gather within minutes.

CONS
0 The drawbacks of modern communication technology are as follows:0 Some individuals become overly addicted to social
networking;0 People tend to ‘procrastinate’ on the Internet instead of
working/studying;0 Some cannot stop using their electronic devices even
when out in the public, which inhibits socialising.

EXTRA CONS
0 The less obvious negative sides are:0 ‘Stalking’;0 Endangered privacy;0 Electronic scams;0 People rely on permanent access to information and feel
helpless otherwise.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
0 I personally believe that in the future, the following might occur:0 Most people will become more used to technology, thus
less obsessed with it;0 The cost of technology (both devices and data traffic)
will drop;0 New input methods should appear;0 E-commerce and digital markets shall blossom.

OVERALL IMPRESSION
0 Technological development sometimes influences human relations in negative ways.
0 Even so, technology majorly facilitates communication.
0 Moreover, the drawbacks are to be rectified eventually.
