Technology Changing Relationships.

I feel as though technology has changed our relationships a lot simply by the invention of the telephone. Before the phone was invented, people would write letters, or use Morris Code. Now that we have something that is instant people will feel closer to the family member, or friend they are calling, even if they are all the way across the country.
Also, email and IM (Instant Messaging) have become a big part of the modern day technology with computers. Social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, Tumblr, etc. help us stay connected with the people that are important to us. no there is texting that is long distance, and sudden. You type a message, then press "SEND" and inter a persons name, it will automatically send the message to the recipients cell phone.
Those are my reasons why I think technology has changes peoples relationships.
