Do you think one's personality affects the use of technology? Or do you think technology affects one's personality? Why?
Modern Technology has never been more influential and a powerful tool than it is today, since many people find themselves in a situation where they feel that they cannot live without technology. The Internet tremendously changed the way people are able to communicate and interact with each other together with the addition of social media sites it revolutionized the aspects of social-interacting process of people. Not so long ago communication and social interaction used to be more face-to-face conversations, written letters, catching ups and many more fun ways of social interaction. The creation of the social media sites and instant messaging apps any person can communicate in the comfort of one's own home. These websites and apps have positively provided an opportunity and chance for people to keep up with their lives from anywhere around the world. It's been also posited through many researches that the media technology can affect the aspects of people's personality due to the exposure and usage of these resources. Obviously the Internet can affect one's personality or the other way around since the usage of the Internet and the social media sites had made people to develop weaker social skills despite of booming knowledge and opportunities provided by the modern technologies. When the objects, whether physical or abstract are put in front of people so to speak, it is still their own personality developed by many circumstances that determines how they respond to that kind of stimulus, just like what relatively happens in new social media sites. As human kind progresses it is also important that we must progress also on face-to-face communication and interactions to create an opportunity that is far more important than technology which is love and understanding for everyone.
