Technological progress has advanced so much to the point that it has become counter-active towards our society. Because we live in a digital age it has become nearly impossible to escape the constant use of cellphones and other personal electronic devices. The constant use of these devices has taken a toll on the social skills that are still crucial today. Instead of face-to-face interaction, many people are now choosing to limit their communication through texting or on-line chats, causing many people to suffer in the area of social skills. Although some advancements in technology have allowed for progress in many other areas important to creating a better world, the overall regression of social skills has taken too much of a toll on today's society.
