The evolution of technology and the subsequent dependance that humans have developed is leading psychologists to study how our humanity can be preserved and how we define quality connections.
The inception of this study comes from my interest in studying human relationships. The foundation of good design is influence and I believe that it all comes back down to perception of others and society, and how relationships around different subjects are formed. Broaching a topic like human relationships is extremely broad and to bring more relevance to the world currently and especially due to the circumstances in 2020, technology and digitization have become, more than ever, a larger part of our lives. The development of technology that has led to artificial intelligence has grown exponentially over that past 5 decades in a way that it has completely shaped and directed human life. With artificial intelligence observing humans, they learn and grow in order to become more effective and align with the needs that they are designed for.
During my research and exploration it became clear that humans and technology are becoming more intertwined and codependent on each other. The goal is not to allow technology to take over and run our lives, but rather use it as a tool to remove latency between human connections. Becoming aware of interactions like this will improve user experiences and the quality of our relationships in the future.
