In modern society, the technologies are around in our lives. It turns into the necessities of our lives. It is supporting our relationship becoming tightness and more closeness. But, if there are too over to use the technology would make we lonely. The techniques cannot be a role to replace a person who stays with us. And people make a relationship need to talking by face to face, and contact in building a relationship. According to the article “Text or Talk: Is Technology Making You Lonely?” a study by Harvard Business Review found that, when teams socialized more and limited email for more operational, the performance would go up 50% (Warrell, 2012). Also, there is another study found that 48% of respondents only had one confidant, and compared to a recent survey in 25 years ago; people said they had about three people which they could confide in (Warrell, 2012). As a result, the primary purpose of the technology is to help us save our time and efforts, but when people are becoming addict to it, it was instead to save the time, it becomes in passing the time, and being more precise, wasting time. Thus, the technology would make people try to escape from the real world; or people will experience the virtual and realistic; and there are most of the people are like to do the multi-tasking, which is the advent of various technologies makes multitasking possible and reshapes it from flaws to advantages. Therefore, when people overuse the communication technology would cause them is not alone, but feels lonely.

First of all, technology would make people build a wall to block the voice from outside, which is causing people who has no communicated with others. The primary form of communication to link people together from the different countries in this world is using the technology, but the technology cannot connect a person to another person. Thus, they are lost themselves in the world and has no relationship with them. In our society, there are some people scared to communicate with others. Hence, the technologies, such as the smartphone, computer, and some of the social media became a path that provides a way to help them escape from the real world. Nowadays, the connection between people does not depend on the distance between us, but on the communication technology, we can use.  Many people built the relationship through the social technology. Furthermore, it will make people feel frustrated because you cannot interact face-to-face with other people. For example, when two people were having dinner together, and they do not talk to each other and playing their smartphone, which is means that it is impolite and he doesn't want to social. Therefore, the communication technology makes people became alone, and make them less sociable.

Also, through of communication technology, people can build the virtual self. Self-timer, forward, and praise-like companions are all ways of making themselves, and apparently, such "ego" may just be the images that they want others to keep in the eyes on them. Also, when people use the mobile terminal's social network, they can "switch" from the real world to the network at any time, just like there is someone had the "pause" button pressed. For example, when a lady plays two rules in the virtual world and real world. When her boyfriend was calling her, she can turn her voice from rough into a soft and gentle voice. Hence, as some of the people who would like to take a mask, and carefully disguised form hiding behind the communication technology, when they take off a comfortable mask, so that they don't want to get back to reality. Indeed, people can become make a friendship quickly through the social media, which the bond is fragile and easy to broken. Those friends, not real friends. Therefore, some people may not alone, but they feel lonely because they just stay in their image world.

Lastly, Multi-tasking is familiar concept today. The advent of various online media makes multitasking possible and reshapes it from flaws to advantages. The problem, however, is that if the media is always ready to meet people's needs, people lose the awareness of how to communicate. Multitasking fosters a new notion of time, and the question now is not how to squeeze extra time, but how slowly to do one thing. In other words, doing multiple tasks at the same time makes every task difficult to accomplish well, especially for those people who need to focus their attention on tasks. Such as, there is a person, which using the different social media and chatting with three ladies.  He can use a fade photo to talking with the person one, and through the other account, chatting with the person two on Facebook, and then, he also can be using the Snapchat to chatting with person 3.  through this software can be work together at the same time. He could not refuse any development target at all. However, if at this moment I would discuss with him how to chase my god, he is absent-minded. therefore, because of the technology makes people seem other to be an object and looks himself as a "machine" that handles the ensuing news, reducing the status of man as a "person."
