How current technology has changed our individual lives and society from when we were kids

Technology continues to advance quite quickly. Particularly in the past few years it has greatly impacted how we communicate with each other via the Internet and mobile technology, as well as how we purchase and consume music, navigate with directions and access all kinds information about the world. 

  How has all of these changes affected our lives from a social perspective? Many seem to think that while we are able to access virtually any amount of information easily at our fingertips, it has also made us less communicative with each other, less interested in enjoying the outdoors and raising future generations without proper interpersonal and social skills.
