This infographic details our relationship to computers and how that effects our real life: human relationships.
Technology is meant to make life easier and help people communicate more effectively. However, as we all know there are instances when technology actually hinders communication with loved ones and can cause problems between significant others.
For instance, 41% of people say the time they spend on a computer causes stress to either themselves or their loved ones. 18% of people say their computer causes them more stress than their spouse. A spin-off of this statistic is the effect that stress then can have on the spouse, because when outside factors stress you out sometimes they land on your spouse. This kind of compounded stress can lead to problems.
