Connecting in a Digital World: The Effects of Technology on Human Interaction
Why are we choosing technology over human interaction? We live in a world that is constantly evolving and moving towards a completely digital society. Every day the human race is losing touch of the physical world and gearing towards the world of screens. The interactions that were taking place in public spaces have now been replaced with virtual connections. As technology is evolving, the design of our public spaces need to be adjusted in order to diminish the lack of communication that we face. The built environment has to be designed in such a way that can give us the opportunity to reconnect with ourselves and others.
