Is the impact of phone usage on real life relationships positive or negative?

[Kross]

We are living in the era that most people own and use sophisticated smartphones. These smartphone usage has become a very vital part of peoples lives.

Do you think phone usage is affecting real life relationships between humans positively or negatively? Why do you take that stand?

I believe that smartphone use has both positive and negative aspects in human relationships, and it largely depends on how each person uses them. On the one hand, smartphones facilitate communication, allowing us to stay in touch with loved ones regardless of distance, and they also offer tools for sharing important moments in real time. However, in many cases, excessive or distracted use can affect real-world relationships, as people may be physically present but mentally absent, leading to disconnection and a lack of attention. Personally, I think the impact is negative if used uncontrollably or as a way to avoid face-to-face interactions. The key is finding a balance: using technology to strengthen bonds, but without letting it replace genuine human interaction.

I personally don't think there is a specific answer to this, it mainly depends on how you use it in the relationship.

For many people, the prevalence of tech devices is the reason they can't have real time conversations with their loved ones.
