Conversation tools in society.

Nowadays, modern technology has transformed conversation tools into high quality, fast response and wide reach communication. But does it improved relations between people in social life?

Popular technological gadgets, such as mobile phones, internet devices, have negative impact on people real-life relationships. It's because nowadays people often meet new friends in virtual world and forget about those in real life. For instance, one study has told that heavy smartphone users feel anxiety, while being 10 minutes without mobile phone. So, mobile phone addicts destroy friendship bonds in real life, while being restrained by virtual world.

On the other hand, at the time when people are using social networks, they get loads of information. The following decade society is used to have accounts in popular social media, such as Twitter, Facebook, where they can find infinite news streams. Under posts of articles or reports, they can discuss it with people around the world as well as friends in real life.

To sum up, I believe there are real merits on both sides of the argument. New type of human communication have pluses and minuses of adaption in social life. Some people look more sociable when they broaden their minds with recent news in their feed, while others feel pain seeing friends affected by the virtual world.
