Increasing number of people have embraced the use of social media over the past years, and the number keeps growing as digital technology does not only connected people from different communities but also allow them to create meaningful relationships, advance their education and enable meet-ups. Technology broadens peoples mind as they now get to view the world from a bigger perspective. For example, a person in one part of the world gets to experience other people’s lives and in turn appreciate them and identify with them as one people.
On allowing people to create meaningful relationships, technology has allowed people from different places in the world come together and connect, hence building meaningful, essential relationships. It is always exciting to make friends from a different world from your own and through technology, a person gets to meet a greater number of people compared to those around them hence increasing their chances of meeting more influential and important people in their lives. For instance, technology has allowed for the emergence of some dating applications and websites that would enable people from different background and orientations to search their perfect date from any part of the world.
The dating applications and websites help people discover and meet more people that they probably would have never come across in the absence of technology. For example, a lady might desire a fit man who likes taking long walks at the beach but fail to find her perfect match among the ones she meets physically. However, unlike physical meetings, the app, she would be able to post what they like in a man, and after being matched to men who match her description, she’ll be able to connect with who she thinks fits her description well. The other party member is heartbroken, or they wanted to.
On education, technology has simplified school processes making it easy for people to study and get an education. As technology grows, better equipment gets developed which help people learn better and with ease. Unlike before students today can enroll for online classes and get similar study services as those physically attending class. For instance, a student can make an appointment to video chat with their professor as opposed to meeting them in person, which may be inconvenient at times. Advances in technology in education have also seen students interact and collaborate in class as they can now create study programs and forums online making it easy for them to hold discussions and share ideas beneficial to their education.
Technological advancement in education is also useful and efficient in facilitating the interaction between faculty staff and students. For instance, it is easier for students and teachers to set up meet-ups for them to communicate with each other for them to develop a healthy connection with each other. An example of an app that connects people in the Meetup app. Meetup is an application or more like an actual website, which allows users with similar tastes get together. For example, if a user wants to hang out or play video games, then they put an event to play with the others, and people with similar interests can then join them in the event. The app does not have any restrictions, and it also gives one the opportunity link up with a group that they best identify with based on their interests.
Conclusion
In sum, it is with no doubt that technology is a powerful tool for people whether it is for their learning, relationships or get-together. If there were no technology, the world would have been a black zone with no objection. With the internet now established worldwide, people are using their smartphones, tablets, and PC to link to, e.g., information and people. It is particularly important for students to identify the role technology plays in their lives as it does not only allow them to access essential resources out there but also allows them to interact and communicate with their colleagues and lectures the best way they can. It is crucial that people embrace technology and its benefits for them to easily connects and make the world a better place to live in anytime.
