Technology has changed our society in many ways. It has changed the way that we date, interact with friends, and made us lazier. Technology has also made things better in the ways of the science and medical field.
In the days before there was technology and especially social media a guy used to ask a girl out face to face. They would pick the girl up, maybe bring her some flowers, and they would go on a fun date with fun, interactive things to do. Now boys slide in the girls DM's and ask her to "chill". The girl will usually drive herself over to the boys house, they'll sit there on there phones, talk for a little bit, maybe watch some Netflix and that's it. That is completely different then the way it used to be, but that is normal for people now. Our phones have completely changed the way we interact with our friends as well. Instead of people doing fun things with their friends they again, all get together, it on their phones, and do absolutely nothing. They will all ask each other what they want t do, but don't get anywhere and continue to sit on their phones. They will sit on social media such as twitter and snapchat. Even if they are sitting right next to their friend, they will continuously snapchat each other. If they are on twitter they will just share the tweet with them instead of turning to their friend and physically show the person. Our society has become so much lazier as well. Everyone is addicted to their phones or computers and they don't do anything else except for sit and play on them. No one wants to go outside on nice days, no one wants to work out, everyone just want to stay on their technology. People become lazier to use their technology as well. For example when people are watching TV they are too lazy to get up and get the remote. They claim its "too far" even though it's like less then a foot away. There are ways that technology has impacted society in a positive way as well. In the science and medical field many things have been improved. There are many more ways to treat diseases and illnesses. There are many more vaccines and preventable treatments as well. Many more people are living longer because of the new technology that is being created.

It's interesting how technology allows us to live longer because what you say about it limiting our interactions kinda makes our lives less fulfilling. So we're living longer but our lives are less interesting. Pretty crazy.
