Impact Of Technology On Personal Relationships

This Valentines we spoke to number of influential people across the globe to drive an understanding on how technology has impacted personal relationship preferences, mostly people felt despite Covid19 lockdowns technology enabled us to stay connected with our loved ones, at the same time a lot felt  technology is actually increasing distance among us by reducing quality time and focusing more on digital visibility. Lets quickly jump on to what Ms. Richa Mehta feels about technology's impact on personal relationships.

Technology today is an integral part of everyday life. While being the first thing in the morning when we get up to the last thing when we sleep. It has adversely impacted personal relationship. 

The warmth between people is missing. This has led to a cold world. In a cold world, nothing flourishes. 

For any relationship to grow, there has to be an exchange of energy. For exchange of energy, there have to be personal interactions. We may have a thousand friends on Facebook or hundred groups on WhatsApp but what is important is how many real friends do we have. How many friends can we share our joys and sorrows with on a regular basis? 


Everybody is now so used to using phones, that sessions on ‘how to keep away from digitalisation’ has gone viral. They say- keep your mobile aside for a day and see how much time you actually have.


Today what the world needs is a kind word, a loving glance, a sweet gesture, a direct open discussion instead of a typed word. This will make relationships more meaningful.


I however do not wish to be called a pessimist but am only being realistic. Technological development and innovation are welcome to modern society but there are always two sides to a coin. Roads may be broad but there may be a pothole at some point :)

"I would personally say that although I miss human connection and being able to hug my friends and family due to the pandemic I have been very lucky to be able to still teach yoga to my community via zoom"

"Being an expat, being so far away from family (back home in India) - the only savior was technology. Obviously as time has passed, we've all gone through phases; from being a loner who was happy with all the time they got to now feeling extremely exhausted, alone and frustrated - the new normal is certainly not normal."

"Increased isolation, reduced social interaction and social skills, and increased human-to-tech interactions are all a result of an overuse of technology, which has created a wall between many people these days globally."

"My motto is "Be positive and life will smile at you!" because the patient is the key of waiting and life is about that a lot.

This pandemic period show us how precious is family time. If you didn't know how much you miss someone, now you do. During lockdowns, talking with family, friends, lovers was very hard without hugging and not being near of them."

Those who learn to effectively absorb information and use new technologies in healthy ways will flourish, and those who don't may feel increasingly disconnected from our technology driven world.


Meetings and flow of information transfers that once either weren't possible or took days to complete now happen in an instant. Digital advances are profoundly affecting humankind, forcing us to change on multiple levels.
