technology and its effects on relationships
TRANSCRIPT
“The use of cell phones to communicate is quickly
becoming one of the most common and easiest ways to
connect with others” Coyne
2
“We may enjoy online relationships using
social media sites like Facebook or Twitter,
for example, but the difference between
these kinds of interactions and interactions
with people in the physical world is clearly
vast..."Lickerman
4
"The problem comes when
we find ourselves subtly
substituting electronic
relationships for physical
ones or mistaking our
electronic relationships for
physical ones.” Lickerman
5
Respondents mentioned that Facebook is
“a place to interact and socialize with
others”, that they “have more contact with
people via social media than face to face”,
and that “social media gives them a social
life.”
Whiting & William

A "study found that teens who are on
social media for more than two hours a
day, a full onequarter of students in the
study, report poor selfrated mental
health, psychological distress, suicidal
ideation or unmet need for mental health
support."
Payne

"Fully 57% of teens
ages 13 to 17 have
made a new friend
online, with 29% of
teens indicating that
they have made more
than five new friends
in online venues."
Lenhart

"Teens face challenges
trying to construct an
appropriate and
authentic online
persona for multiple
audiences, including
adults and peers.
Consequently, many
teens feel obligated to
project an attractive and
popular image through
their social media
postings."
Lenhart

Mobile dating
apps also
prove to be
potentially
harmful and
also change
the way
relationships
are
constructed

Dating App: TINDER"Humans evolved to be
addicted to new sexual
opportunities ... but not this
many opportunities..."We’re
not programmed to be
exposed to so much sexual
opportunity."
Dr. Wendy Walsh

Lakshmin, "The Science Behind Why Tinderis Effing Up Your Love Life"
Netflix and Chill
"Sexual exchanges are happening at an
alarmingly fast pace through dating apps,
social media, emails, emojis, and most
likely everywhere short of an actual phone
call to ask someone on a date... “Netflix
and chill” has become more of a less
abrasive, comical, nostringsattached
type of a hookup."
Schirripa
15
"According to reports, all
of these anonymous
techsavvy options,
which are available to the
masses, led to some
undesired
consequences: A rise in
sexually transmitted
diseases and infections."
Schirripa
16
"Research has found that, among marital
relationships destabilized by a partner's cybersex
behavior, about 60 percent involved only computer
mediated interaction with no facetoface meeting
and many of these cases ended in divorce."
Hughes

"Technology, writes Harvard
Medical School clinical
psychologist Catherine Steiner
Adair, has evolved into the
“hub and hearth of family life,”
a dynamic the author finds
deeply unsettling."
Bielski
20
“I remember this eerie
feeling that our
family’s way of being
a family felt like it was
slipping away as our
home computer
began to dominate
our children’s time
and attention,” writes
SteinerAdair, a
mother of two"
Bielski
21
In Conclusion, technology has significantly altered
human relationships of all kinds.
"Technology has put our relationships in beta,
redefining how we communicate our desires
and trust one another."
