　　In this essay, I shall say why I believe technology has had largely negative effects on the way people interact with each other.

　　The main technology that people use to create relationships nowadays is the Internet. This can be used in a variety of ways, notably by joining social networking sites or dating sites. It often seems that such websites encourage people to form friendships based on little information and on information which may not be true. For example, a website might recommend that two people become friends on the basis of the fact that they both like a particular film. The suggestion is that the people both like this film, therefore they both like the same films generally and/ or have the same interests. If the information provided by website users is false (for example gender or age), a face- to- face friendship is very unlikely and the ‘friendship’ is likely to remain online only.

　　I think that television has also affected the types of relationships people make, by dramatising certain types of relationships (for example on soap operas), and suggesting that these are the ones that are important in the real world and/ or that these are the relationships people should copy. Some people seem to think that they must make their lives as dramatic as those depicted on television, otherwise their lives will be dull. The constant need for drama can certainly have an effect on a person’ s relationships with others.

　　To conclude, I think that technology has provided people with new ways to form relationships, but that the results have usually been negative, particularly compared to face- to- face communication and relationship creation.

　　I think that technology has largely affected types of relationships between people in a positive way and shall outline my reasons in this essay.

　　Most importantly, in my opinion, technology has enabled people to stay in contact with each other more closely. People can use the Internet and mobile phones to speak to each other and send information to each other. Moreover, this information can be in the form of pictures or videos. Thus, even if people are far from each other, they can feel close. In the modern world, where people often live and work or study in different places – even different countries – to those where their family members are, this is very important to people. In this way, technology helps people to maintain existing relationships.

　　Secondly, technology has allowed people to become friends with others who they would normally not be able to make friends with. In the past, people might have had pen friends in other countries, but now, thanks to social networking websites, people can easily connect with those who have similar interests. It is true that these relationships might not be very strong, but they can develop if the friends use them as the basis for forming closer friendships, for example if they visit each others’ countries. The fact that most of the relationships created on social networking sites are not strong does not mean that such sites are worthless.

　　In conclusion, I am generally positive about the effects technology has had on relationships of different types, because it helps people to make friends and to maintain relationships.
