emphasizes the relational functions and implications of their use
in society and within specific groups.
THE MEANING OF RELATIONAL TECHNOLOGY
•Using relational technologies develops unique
significances for specific social groups.
1.Some groups view the cell phone as less as a device to
contact others and more to display social status and
membership.
2.The social means accompanying technologies, along with
their significance, vary according to the social system
used.

through a cell phone or face-to-face interactions.
• The views governing the use of these
technologies are developed mostly by how
technology is used and discussed by other
members of these organizations.
Technological progress plays a significant
role in the identification of generations'
perceptions and experiences.
According to Gumpert and Cathcart (1985)
1.Media experience, the traditional notion of
separating generations according to time, can
be replaced by segregating generations.
2.The chronological era in which they were
born and the media and technology that
encompass their world are what separates
generations.
Media generations are characterized by unique
media grammar and media awareness, based on
the technological environment in which they are
born (McMahan & Duck, 2010).
Each technology influences
1.people's thinking,
2.sense of experience,
3.and perceptions of reality
People born in the era of print media
perceive the world differently from those born
after the technology was introduced. Learning
has taken bipolar opposites in favor of the
Internet and digital products as media
generations born into a digital world now
undervalue printed books and traditional
television. In the same way, differences image
with the use of relational technology also show
considerably.
