Social networks and other social technologies enable interactions between friends and family regardless of their location. Although people remain social by communicating at a constant pace, the essence of face-to-face interactions is partly compromised. In romantic relationships, open and honest communication with your partner is crucial to trust and relationship development. Young adults use social technologies such as the Internet and cell phones every day to maintain their relationships. Due to the communication problems that often occur due to a lack of face-to-face interactions, social technology shapes the way romantic relationships work. Therefore, social technology impacts romantic relationships through a deterministic technological perspective, leading to trust issues and dissatisfaction across the Internet and mobile devices, thus negatively changing face-to-face relationships. The different rhetoric of online communication shapes and transforms problems such as deception in online dating, social monitoring and control on social networking sites, creates negative interpretations and implications of text messages and thus creates a new image and mentality of romantic relationships . Technological determinism “views technology as causing cultural and social change” (Morris, 2013). Within technological determinism, there are two different types. Hard technological determinism is “an oversimplified cause-and-effect explanation for the social change” (Johnson, 2013). Soft technological determinism believes that “technology is one of many social factors that drive social change” (Johnson, 2013). technological deterministic vision.
