Is Technology Making Social Anxiety Worse
I love video games, I love my computer, and I love my flat screen, but I find myself wondering sometimes if technology is making social anxiety worse. Has the convenience that technology has given to us also hindered us from overcoming social anxiety as a whole? Has technology made overcoming social anxiety even more difficult by placing a virtual barrier between human interaction and physical contact?
We can research and make friends with people online, but there is a lack of human interaction. The advantage of being online is that you can find a community to help you with whatever problem you have, but the disadvantage is the lack of action. We start using the internet as our outlet to being social.
There is a huge lack of “real” interaction. We can sit at home and keep ourselves entertained with the hundreds of channels we have. We can live our vicariously through the character we play on video games, hell we can even pay our bills online so we don’t have to interact with another human being.
I love the benefits that are given to us because of technology, don’t get me wrong. I think it’s great that I can do everything I listed above. I love the fact that I can save time and money by sitting at home. I think technology can help and hurt you at the same time.
The way that I figure it, technology is like a fine wine. Doctors say, for the time being anyway, that a glass of wine a day is good for you. On the other hand, If you drink too much, it can kill brain cells and also can cause liver problems. Technology, like wine, can affect your relationships if you take in too much of it and let it control your life.
I think it’s outstanding that I have friends from all over the world that I’ve never met and probably never will, but I think it can also stunt your growth when it comes to getting past the reality of shyness and social anxiety. I realize that technology is a tool we can use to reach out to others but we need to use it wisely and apply what we learn with it, to the outside world. We have to make sure we don’t use technology as a crutch to avoid physical social interaction.
Get Your Hands Comfortable With Touch Technology
Today, Touch screen technology is very famous in the areas of computers along with a phone where the work of the hands is totally replaced by mouse along with pen and fingers. It is the best way to improve the human along with computer interactions. Apart from that in computer world this technology has replaced the mouse along with keypads which are used in the computer world.
There are four types of Touchscreen Technology which includes:-
Resistive Technology This technology is best in offering resolution along with durability part which is further used in different applications along with environments. In resistive technology you will find 2 types of technology one is Matrix one and another one is Analogue one. This technology is played best part in a cost effective field along with durability part.
Capacitive Technology- In this type of technology you will find the touch pad which is having the electrodes of two layer grid which is connected to integrated circuit which is placed on the back side of the pad. As this is mounted with 2 layer grid the upper part is vertical electrodes and the lower layer is horizontal electrodes. The integrated circuit measures the mutual capacitance of both the horizontal along with vertical electrodes when the human finger is placed on the intersection part.
Surface Acoustic Wave Technology- With this type of technologyyou will come across with more advanced screen. This technology is having 2 transducers which are doing the work of transmitting along with receiving on the axis of X and Y panel of the touch. In this Technology glass is used which is called Reflector. It involves the simple process where the controller sends the important information/signals to the transmitting transducer which is turn is received by the receiving transducer who will convert the information/signals into ultra-sonic waves which is turning emits to the reflector which is placed on the edge of the panels. This technology is best in terms of image clarity along with the best light transmission.
This technology is recommended for Amusement Parks along with ATMs, financial and banking institutions where the work is on a daily basis.
You can also come across with 4-wire touch screens which is famous for high quality along with a cost effective method used in many applications. The otherfeatures of4-wire touch screentechnology is
Fast response in case touched by any object
Benefits of liquid resistance
Quality in services
Benefits of low cost method
Nowadays many phones along with computer companies are making the use of resistive technology because of its main features in the computer along with phone world. Thus it makes the touch screen technology very effective.
