It is the year 2025, technology has completely reshaped the way we view relationships. Both children and adults log into their social media profiles, fire up their gaming consoles, or simply turn on the television and enjoy their daily dose of life. They no longer need a friend to gossip with, they no longer need friends to get the daily scoop on life, it's all virtual. Interpersonal relationships are becoming a thing of the past because people can find out everything simply through the Internet or the news. People revolve their lives around technology. Indeed, technology is everywhere. Every block, every street, every city is packed with technology. Everywhere people look they will see some kind of electronic advancement that sooner or later might. But what will happen in the future? What will happen to the relationships that we, the people of today, hold near and dear to our hearts? We may be the last generation to value friendships, the way they should be valued. Virtual relationships fill the places where personal relationships once belonged. In the future, sooner or later, virtual realities will be available to all types of people. In virtual realities, the user of the program can create any type of reality he wants. Children could easily conjure up the person they want, one who looks exactly like someone or acts exactly like someone, and can create a relationship with them without having that real interpersonal connection. Virtual reality and social networking sites will eventually replace face-to-face relationships. It cannot be stopped. The kids of today and the kids of tomorrow care more about new technologies coming in rather than spending quality time with their real, living, breathing stuff. How are people going to apply for jobs, how are they going to talk to anyone other than virtual or on the internet? The answer is that they won't be able to. People must realize that interpersonal relationships are firstly healthy for the body and mind and secondly the basis of communication. Kaveri Subrahmanyam and Patricia M. Greenfield, psychologists at California State University, Los Angeles and UCLA, said: "Initial evidence is that the ease of electronic communication may make adolescents less interested in face-to-face communication with their friends" ( Robust 3). These findings came after researchers questioned whether texting, instant messaging or online social networks would allow children to be more connected and supported with their friends. Subrahmanyam and Greenfield believe more data needs to be collected to provide a definitive answer, although they say electronic communication disconnects friends. Children today need interpersonal skills and relationships to survive in the real world. Technology and social networks will eventually replace the friendship that individuals need in real life
