As a part of today’s generation, where technology is becoming the primary source of information, entertainment, and even jobs.

It saddened me that the distance between us was immeasurable; I could not hold them easily, and I could not hear their voice randomly. However, due to the invention of technology, the million distances between us seemed to be nothing at all.
