The document discusses the impact of technology on human relationships. It notes both positive impacts such as increased accessibility, efficiency, and diversity of connections as well as negative impacts like dependability on devices, loss of in-person connectivity, less privacy, and risks like cyberstalking. The positive impacts are that technology allows easy contact with distant relatives, working remotely, and learning about other cultures online. However, it can also reduce real-world interactions, sharing leads to less privacy, and stalking others digitally poses risks.

3. POSITIVE
IMPACT

4. Accessibility
“The improvement in technology
allowed us to access any content
and information whenever we want
from everywhere in the world”

5. Efficiency
”The improvement in technology
allowed us to save a lot of time. We
could easily shop without exactly
physically present at the store, we
could ship any items to our house, and
also we could interact with our family
or friends who live on the other side of
the world from online”

6. Diversity
“We could expand our cultural knowledge
from online. We could keep updated with the
trending issues around the world by watching
television, read international articles, and
most importantly from social media.
Moreover, with social media we’ll be able to
connect with other individuals from different
parts of the world, which will allow us to
expand our network internationally.

7. NEGATIVE
IMPACT

8. “With the improvement in
technology, people are more
isolated and become more
highly dependent with their
electronic device. Some of them
even claimed they couldn’t live
with their phone, they’ve just
become obsessed with their
smart phone device”
Dependability

9. Loss of Connectivity
“People are not seeing
each other face to face
anymore. There is a
lack of human touch
and less interaction
between individuals”

10. Less Privatization
“Social media is a platform for
individuals to share their thoughts,
pictures, location or any other things
that they want other people to know
about them. Since everyone can
easily share anything about their life,
and wants other people to know it,
this means there is no such thing as
private life anymore."

11. “Cyberstalking is one of the most common violation of the
usage of technology. For instance, when people use their
social media to stalk someone. They can easily access
their information from their social media account, or even
worse by hacking through their camera system so they
can watch every single movements made by the person
that they have been obsessing with.
Cyberstalking

12. Conclusion – The impact of Technology on Human Relationship
Positive Negative
Accessibility
• We can easily contact our relatives who live
outside the country. E.g. video call
Loss of Connectivity
• Lack of human touch and less interaction between
individuals.
Efficiency
• We could work and interact with other people
without physically present at the location.
Less Privatization
• This could potentially destroy friendships and trust
between individuals.
Diversity
• It will allowed us as a human being to connect
and learn about different cultural knowledge from
different individuals.
Cyberstalking
• Stalking someone through their electronic device could
lead someone to commit a serious crime. Again, this
could violated trust between certain individuals.
