This website on the Huffington Post mainly talks about how technology affects our relationships. Technology is known to cause isolation and separation between people. It can literally cause a change in our genes and it is very dangerous in relationships. Maintaining a solid and happy relationship with someone whether it is your spouse or just a regular friend takes the effort of interacting in person and using our mouths to speak instead of our phones to text. It is important to set the devices and screens to the side when the time comes to spend time with those who you care about and those who care about you. The time for texting and Instagram is when you are planning on meeting or when you are trying to find something to do. There is never a time for when you are with someone you love to be going through Facebook or Instagram because you are "bored."
