In the article "Factors Affecting Relationships of Turkish Adolescents With Parents and Same-Sex Friends.", I found the information to be true regarding how technology is affecting relationships, and friendships. So why did I chose it? I chose it because you can't argue that people AREN'T addicted to technology in this society. From personal experiences I definitely see relationships going downhill because of a like, or a post, or even a single comment. This article is from The Journal of Social Psychology. This article states how children don't have a strong bond with their families due to their phones. If you think about it, whenever you go out to eat, look around and see how many kids are not engaging with their family. It's sad, but it's true-phones are taking over our generation. This article was reputable because it had a variety of data, statistics, facts, and further research. I think it stated some good statistics over the developing years. I will use this article as a counterargument for my essay because it is going against my topic which is : How technology is connecting people. Many can argue that in most cases, it doesn't.
My second source I used was from Tesh. This article argues that technology brings people closer. As a writer, I need research and articles that I can relate to. This article, I definitely related because I have family across the world. Staying connected by social media is the best thing that's happened because I can see my family not only through pictures, but developing through their lifespan. It's amazing how social context can make a family closer. This article is reputable because it argues a point, and states the points very clear. This article also states statistics, which is important while writing a research paper. I will use this as a source in my essay, because it has some great info regarding my topic, and it's relatable for anyone in my position.
