My big question is how does technology affect our relationships?

1)What makes a good relationship? This information will give me the rules and definition of a good relationship. In order to figure out the effect technology has on relationships; I need to figure out what guidelines a relationship follows. This will help me clearly see what shifts in a relationship when we use technology as our tool.

2) How do we use technology to communicate? This question will help me address my big question because communication is key in a strong relationship. As technology is a huge term, I want to focus on the communication part of technology. For example, Facetime, social media, texting, etc.

3)  This question will open my knowledge on if we should use technology in our relationships. For example, if 90% of the effects of technology on our technology are harmful, we will learn that we should limit ourselves to using technology as our source of communication.

This big topic question is vital for others in our community globally because we will learn how much technology is sufficient for our relationships with others. I want to help others thrive in this technology-based world. Healthy communication in our relationships may prevent global problems such as wars, poverty, fights and pollution. We will never be able to live without technology, so why not use it for our benefit?
