Is technology reducing the quality of human interaction?
Our Stand
YES. Technology does reduce the quality of
human interaction
Introduction
Technology Use of scientific knowledge to manufacture machinery
and equipment that provides convenience in our lives.
Human Interaction Mutual interactions between two or more humans.
Technology During the 21st Century, due to technological
advancements, it has improved the comfort of our lives.
e.g. Smart phones, Laptops, Tablets
Social Media
Enable people to interact and share virtually. In facebook alone, there are 1.4 billion users. There are still many platforms like twitter and
YouTube.
HOWEVER…….
Disadvantages
Slowly, technology has disconnected us from the world physically, leading us into a state of isolation.
Isolation then leads to the lack of interaction between people, reducing quality of human interaction
Why? Instead of spending time in person with
friends, we just call, text or instant message them.
When people are together, Some people may still use their phone (e.g. texting, surfing the internet)

Rebuttals
How does technology cause misunderstanding and tension? Face to face interaction can also cause tension.
By texting we cannot express our feelings-when meeting in real life we cannot experience the physical being of the person, feel the person’s presence.
Texting may not show the true feelings of the person( cannot see body language)
How does technology make people more self-centered?
By isolating oneself, we only work for the benefit of oneself the person is in a virtual world of only himself without having to care for others.
Misuse of technology that leads to the reduce in quality of human
interaction?
Technology covers mostly social media
E.g. texting
People make friends through social media
They may not know the person The ‘friendship’ may not be true
There are some people who become closer through social media.
That is only a small handful
Hence technology reduces the quality of human interaction.
