For my final paper I have decided to address the ways in which technology has replaced the social aspect of people’s lives. My main theory being that the internet, along with other advanced forms of technology have replaced the amount of social interaction people participate it.  Moreover want to investigate the ways that technology has affected people’s relationships with one another, whether it be negatively or positively.

Furthermore, providing information on how the internet has become the main medium used to communicate with people around the world.

 

Additionally, I want to explain the different ways people use technology to develop and continue social relationships. I want to discuss the use of facebook and myspace, explaining the ways the use of the site has provided college students, alums, teachers and most recently outside affiliates to communicate with others around the world. It has been  a key medium for college students to keep in touch while they are attending school.

While researching I found an article by  Corey Anton where he describes how the use of technology and all the advances we have made over time has resulted in humans acting as machines.

I want to also address the possible problems of communicating through the internet, such as interpretation and intention of the author. There is an element of social interaction in person that provides the receiver the ability to interpret the message through their five senses, as opposed to through a computer screen.
