Technology at a Young Age

We recently discussed how our current society/generation is beginning to be more and more enveloped in our technological advances, and how it is starting to prevent social interaction, to a certain extent. I agree that our use of technology is beginning to breach our social abilities, but I don't think it's necessarily as detrimental as a lot of people seem to think. The entire point of technology is to make things easier, faster, more convenient, and that's what it is doing. To say technology is becoming bad for us because it isn't allowing us to communicate between each other, face to face, is an inadequate argument. I believe there will always be situations that require human interaction, no matter how advanced technology becomes. Is it a bad thing that we are becoming less social as a society? Some people may think so, but I don't think it's something to worry about.
