Week6: Online Discussion Topic 3

Hi,
Here is the first topic for this week's online discussion:
Technology is making communication easier in today's world, but at the expense of personal contact as many people choose to work at home in front of a computer screen. What dangers are there for a society which depends on computer screens rather than face-to-face contact for its main means of communication?

The partners for discussion:
1. Meltem E.
2. Hulya T.

How technology effects on our lives,behaviours,friendships,ect...Of course;technology has both negative and positive effects on our lives. But for me it`s negative sides are much more than the other side. Many people spend their time and work on internet. Therefore face to face communication decreases between people. Also because of this reason they can`t solve their problems in a healthy way. So in societies there can be many problems between people from different ages. To live better and a healty,happy atmosphere; we must solve our communication problems firstly.And for this we must be careful to spend not much of our time in front of monitor...

Meltem,
I would agree with you on the argument that we shouldn't spend oo much time in front of the computer screen. But you seem to underestimate the fact how the computer and Internet technology have made our lives much easier and more comfortable. What we are doing now is a perfect example of what I am trying to say. We are communicating online and we are doing that in the comfort of our homes free of time and space boundaries.

l agree with meltem and my teacher.technology plays a part ın our daily life.lt develops day by day and people increasingly interest in technology.there are many advantages and disadvantagesof technology.especialy,ıts negatıve effacts are much more than advantages of it as meltem said.ıf we stay in front of a computer screem, we can not communicate with other people face to face... and we can be addict... another dısadvantage is that some people do not know how to use it.so that tse people can easily fall in a trap at ınternet.I belıve that people should be conscıous about technology.
