5. Read the article and describe what you understand of it in as much detail as possible.
This decade we have been living with a lot of changes in our lives thanks to the technology, some of them are positive and others are bad for our communities and children because it make us dependents and I think the problems will be more noticeable in the coming years as technology progresses not just social or politics also talking about love .
People will be dependent of the new things that technology is going to give ,The percent of people who get married with love is going to decrease because They are going to prefer have a flexible relationship ,couples aren't going to have a lot of children ...maybe just one or none because they are going to prefer live without responsibility and the cost of raising a child. The virtual relations will be very common and with more reason if the couple live far, the sexual preference will have a different acceptance for people and also our feelings will be vulnerable .People is not going to write a letter or create a love song because will be more easy to see your boyfriend or girlfriend with any application ,The dates going to be with virtual programs .The interaction face to face with family and friends will be a thing of the past.
