VI. Read the following passage about artificial intelligence and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions
Modern technologies have changed the way that people communicate with one another. These
technologies provide new and innovative ways for people to communicate - text messaging, email, chat and
social networks. They allow faster and more efficient communication and can help build relationships.
However, modern technologies can also have negative effects such as limiting personal contact and straining
relationships. The nature of the effect depends in large part on the type of relationship.
Modern technologies limit the amount of separation between work and home. With the advent of
computers, the Internet and cell phones people can - and are often expected to - address work issues from
home. This can limit family interactions and cause conflict between family members. The use of Internet and
television by children and teenagers also limits the amount time spent with family and can increase conflict
between children and their parents.
Young people use modern technologies in increasing numbers to communicate with their friends. Text
messaging and online chats have become the preferred method of youth communication. A California State
University and UCLA study indicates that for young people face-to-face interactions are less desirable than
modern modes of communication. This preference could cause an inability to form lasting friendships or
difficulty understanding social cues. Others believe that modern technologies increase communication and
therefore strengthen friendships.
Starting new relationships - romantic and otherwise - can be difficult. Modern technologies allow people
to make new connections without the fears characteristic of face-to-face contact. The anonymity and low risk
are what makes Internet dating and social networks popular ways of meeting people. However, this anonymity
can also be dangerous. In April 2011, a woman sued an online dating site after allegedly being raped by a man
she met online.
Modern technologies allow couples to be in contact with each other more than ever before. This can lead
to increased expectations and conflict. With the increasing use of cell phones and email, people often expect
an instant reply to communication. A delayed reply - or none at all - can lead to suspicion and anger. The use
of social networks can also affect relationships. Information that was once private - such as relationship
conflicts - is now part of the public sphere.
