How Technology Has Changed Our RelationshipsTechnology has improved the way we live. Due to numerous technological advances, most Americans will not be able to live without them. The most significant digital revolution that has impacted the social life of an ordinary American is the digital revolution. The revolution brought new ways of communicating. Thanks to social media, Americans can now easily connect with friends and family members around the world. Many means of communication were born from the digital revolution. Facebook is the social media platform that has won over this generation. It's universal. If a Facebook account is not owned, that person is defamed. Without Facebook, this person will not receive status updates and photos from their friends. In the eyes of a millennial, this individual would be antisocial.

Technology has made users superficial. With social media, everyone sees the profile and that's it. The profile is the prejudice that others may have about the user. Yes, the digital revolution has changed the way we perceive relationships, but is a relationship without this social protocol really worthless? There's more to someone than what their profile says and that's something this generation might be missing.
