Family, relationships, community...
Technology is binding the world of work and the world of home in ways that redefine what is means to be in each. Some changes are dramatic, others are subtle, but the changes are experienced in the mundane activities of everyday life.
Some people say they never took work home, yet the computer had its own room and engineering magazines littered every flat surface. Because the information saturated work environment is infinitely interruptible, activities that require concentration—especially writing, reading and reflecting—get shipped home where it is vainly hoped that uninterrupted time can be cultivated. People respond to this relocation in a variety of ways. Some have clearly scheduled “Mommy is working now” times. Others try to manage post bedtime shifts.
Information technologies simultaneously perpetuate and alter family roles. Pagers, cell phones and answering machines, and now palm pilots, are used in tandem to coordinate complex household schedules.
The high technology industry has also added a global dimension to the workings of community. For example at Sun Microsystems a single thirty-five person work team might be comprised of engineers from Bangladesh, Canada, China, Ethiopia, India, Iran, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam and the United States. This region has a complex pattern of immigration, spanning the last century, made more intricate by the influx of “new immigrants,” largely Asian, educated and functionally transnational. This makes any discussion of technology and family, or technology and community more complex. People from around the world are bringing different ideas of what constitutes family, work, and community.

No, I do not use social networking. I'm not a social person by nature, but I don't think I would anyway... I try not to spend a lot of time in front of a screen. I check my email regularily, I often go on Youtube (mostly for music - I'm a guitarist) and occassionally I visit Yahoo answers... I do little research online and I never use MSN messager like so many of my peers. Most of the people I know who are around my age (15-16) spend about 4-6 hours every night on facebook or msn. It's mostly pointless chatter that couls just as well be done at school the next day, let alone over the phone or actually face-to-face with the person outside of school. There's such a thing as being too connected socially. I don't see why a person needs to be carrying on a conversation with their friends all day. To me it seems like an invasion of privacy and a huge waste of time. Having a social life is definitely a good thing - but it shouldn't become your only life.

A little. Helps to stay in touch with people we would have lost touch with in the past. Also helps to find friends from our past. We are more connected through programs like linked in, facebook, twitter, or even text messaging. These tools help us to get and stay connected. I content that the more our network grows, the more effort it takes to maintain that network, and the less time we may have for face to face encounters. The degree of impact on an individual's life will vary. Every person needs human interaction to a different degree. If the idea of friendship through media is acceptable to a person, then less physical interaction will not adversely impact their quality of life. To each his own. The new tools do offer the opportunity to not go out and meet people. They also offer the opportunity to establish relationships with people in different geographically locations. They also provide a medium for getting to know people better. Ie meeting someone on line. The real issue for me is that human communication is complicated, where we rely on both verbal and non-verbal messages. Words and pictures can only tell part of a story. We are getting a distorted view of reality. In moderation, they augment relationships. These tools cannot be a replacement for making and maintaining relationships.

DISTANCE - handphone, transportation. shorten the gap between individual physically. But people getting apart emotionally.
COMFORT - TV, internet, washing machine etc.. people are more comfortable and time was saved a lot. But people are getting more alone, spending time on these gadgets.
DESTRUCTION - Increase of technology increase global warming eg more use of fuel, construction of buildings, productions wastes increase lead to pollutions... People are more money mind and evil as a result, more materialistic than caring for others. Morality dropped.
