Technology and Human Connection by Allana Mae Balmis

For me, it depends on the situation. There are people who seem close when chatting online, but when it comes to meeting face-to-face without using technology, they feel distant. For example, I have a friend who is in a relationship right now. They always chat on social media using technology, so basically, they are close. However, when they meet in person, they feel awkward, and the distance between them becomes noticeable.

For me, it makes people more distant and i see it clearly in our own home, everyone has their own phone, and because of that, the closeness is slowly fading. It no longer feels like a home, we’re just like a stranger living under the same roof. We don’t even eat together, only sometimes, and even we eat together, some are still busy on their phones.

For me, it depends. Way back when I was in Senior High, I had a talking stage to my classmate, and we were both close in chat. We shared some information about our lives because we had the same feelings, but when we saw each other, it seemed like we were strangers. How ironic, isn’t it?

For me, it depends on how people use technology to connect with others. For some, using technology has made them feel more distant. Although my family and I are not really distant, I’ve noticed that because of technology, we’ve become less communicative with each other. However, I also use technology to communicate more with my loved ones and friends who live far away. Because of this, we can stay in touch and become closer.

It depends. Technology can bring people closer together, but it can also make them more distant. I had a very close friend on social media. We always used to have "chikas" and share everything with each other online. We were so close in our digital conversations. But when we were together in person, we weren't that close. The connection we had online didn't translate into a strong bond in real life. This shows that while technology can create a sense of closeness, it can also create a distance when it replaces genuine, in-person interaction.

well technology comes in both ways. when you wish to talk to your relatives abroad it still makes you feel like you are together with them. for instance me and vin2, when we first started talking it felt like we knew each other for a long time and we clicked (chariz) and if we are talking about if it makes us distant is, nope. although we live far away from each other, i would often feel like he is beside me through the help of technology

For me because of technology our friendship is always valuable and make it closer. it is because I have this situation where in I want to meet or to talk with my old friends but suddenly all of us we don't have time to meet together and having fun, but because of technology even we don't have time to meet or have chikass, still we can have our connection through our phone we can do chats,Vc and etc.

even we can't meet personally as long as we can talk anytime.

Technology can do both. It connects people far apart, like families staying in touch through video calls. Love ones can feel closer even if they're far. But too much use can also make people feel lonely and disconnected from those nearby, like preferring to text friends instead of meeting up. It depends on how we use it.

As an individual, it depends on a certain situation, wherein for me technology brings people closer together because I can easily connect with my friends and family through video calls and chat even if they are far away. However, I also see that sometimes people become distant when they focus too much on their phones instead of talking face-to-face.

Well for me, technology help me to close to someone because through using technology I meet the one that I love because before when we are in grade 12 and now we are talking everyday through chatting or even video call and that's why technology help us to be close each other.

For me, it depends on how people are used to social medias or technology. Some people they have limitations in using social media platforms, or using their phones, and some people are addicted in using gadgets. In my situation, I am a person who had gadgets and social media platforms, but I limit my self by using it–I still have a me time or using my technology and also bond with my family, friends, and classmates. More over, for me technology doesn't make me and my love ones distant.

For me, it brings people closer together. As I observed in our home, Each one of us owns cellphone and we use that opportunity to play together using our phones. Another example is, my sister was away from home and closeness doesn't disappear because there is constant communication between me and her.

I believe technology can both bring people closer and make them distant. For example, video calls let families abroad connect daily, making distance feel smaller. But at the same time, some people get too focused on social media, ignoring those physically present around them. It depends on how we use it.

Technology can both bring people closer and push them apart. For example, video calls and messaging apps help families, like overseas workers and their loved ones, stay connected despite distance. However, constant gadget use can also create distance, as people often spend more time on screens than on real-life conversations.

Technology can both bring people closer and make them distant. For example, video calls let families stay connected even when they live far apart, which strengthens relationships. However, too much time on social media can create distance, as people may focus more on online interactions than face-to-face connections.

For me, I think technology brings people closer together. For example, I can talk to my brother who is in Davao City through video calls and chats, even if we are far away. Social media also helps me stay connected with my friends and classmates by sharing updates and school activities. Technology makes communication faster and easier, so we don’t feel too distant from each other.

For me it depends on the situation there are things that because of technology people become distant, for example because of technology a his/ her becomes famous so he/she doesn't want to go with his old friends who are not famous.Because of technology there are things that we really need to accept in order for us to learn and grow. Sometimes because of technology people become closer sharing their interest  they get to know each other, and because of that they become closer.
