Technology has had a profound impact on what it means to be social. Technology can have positive and negative impact on social interactions. Someone can find a long-lost friend through a social networking site, enabling them to reconnect. Alternatively, one can connect with family that is geographically separated. On the other hand, technology can contribute to  negative effects in several realms as well. Moreover, the web creates a virtual reality, which is often distorted, and could lead to pathological behaviours that are dissocial, dissociative and poor impulse control. Additionally, most teens and young adults use technology daily - for leisure as well as work related activities. A study of students and information technology found that 85 percent of undergraduates surveyed used social networking sites (Salaway et al., 2008).
