Technology had affected our social relationships:
Nowadays we are all focused in our cellphones, mails, television, computer, ipod, etc, and we forget about the most important things like ourfamily, friends, ourselves and all those who surround us, so slowly the technology takes possession of us without realizing it and becomes the favorite pastime for many in this technological society.Gustavo Roman Rodriguez, doctor-psychiatrist at the National University of Colombia and a professor of psychiatry at the University of Quindio in Colombia wrote a columnist for the newspaper "TheChronicle" of Armenia saying that in this technological society an increase of competition and rivalry have appeared, and so the relations between persons, fascinated by the consumer society follow a morecompetitive way than cooperation and friendship. At the same time interpersonal communication has decreased, one that allows an exchange of affection and feelings.

According Facebook, Chile is theseventh Latin American country with the largest number of Facebook users and number 21 in the world list, most young.
In this society has been an incredible progress in communication tech, which leadsto a massive and impersonal communication, that allows us to get online and contact with any site in the world to exchange information. This "distance communication" and lack of personal contacts,favor that sense of loneliness that permeates the atmosphere of our times.
According to National Statistics Institute (INE), Chile has in operation more than 19 million mobile phones, exceeding thetotal of its inhabitants, which demonstrates that most of the people of Chile have mobile phones and in many cases not only one but more. The youth of today are always attached to their cell, us can notdisconnect from this, losing the ability to enjoy the simple things of life like talking to people around us, playing with siblings, etc..

The retreats are a true communication lost, since now...
