An international study of more than 13, 000 adults found that many people say modern technology
has affected relations with their partners. Almost 40 percent of those questioned said their partners paid more attention to their mobile devices than to them.
The research included both old and new relationships. Thirty-three percent of those asked
reported that they had to compete against a mobile device for attention on a first date.
Apparently, we have as much love for our digital devices as for the people we love. The survey
found that adults spend almost equal amounts of time online at home as they do interacting directly. And a lot of married couples, friends and family members argue about time spent on mobile devices.
Rules or time limits on a device might be good, in theory. However, the survey found that
45 percent of those questioned do not set rules. Another 45 percent said they got into arguments about how much they are on their phones when spending time with loved ones. The lack of social rules about digital behavior might be the result of the newness of the issue.
Past generations did not have the technologies. In this situation, our elders know nothing.
In fact, the knowledge and ability is moving towards the youngest generation that’s using the technology because they’re the ones bounding forward fearlessly, and finding out what ways they can get in trouble.
That trouble may include the sharing of sensitive information. The research found nearly 30
percent of couples share passwords to social media sites. This could be a problem when relationships end.
The study advises that people step away from electronic devices to truly connect with other
5
people. Understand the value of distancing yourself from your device and allow yourself to be engaged with that person that means the most to you. 5. What did the study find about modern technology?
A. People depend too much on it.
B. It breaks relations between partners. C. Partners need it to develop relations. D. It has a bad effect on human relations.
6. What’s the problem with the digital device?
A. It takes up too much time. B. It is dangerous to play.
C. It causes tiredness in married couples. D. It takes away all love from loved ones.
7. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. People disagree with limiting mobile use. B. Rules need to be made to limit mobile use. C. The majority of users set rules to use a device. D. More and more people will use phones wisely.
8. What can be the best title for the text?
A. We Can’t Live Without a Cell Phone. B. For Love, Put Aside the Phone! C. How Powerful Electronic Devices Are! D. Your Time Will Be Killed by the Phone.
