How does cyber technology impact interactions between offenders and victims?

As technology has increased in this day and age, it has caused a rapid downward spiral effect in communication in terms of human interaction face to face. This is mainly due to the fact that people don’t interact as much as they could be or used to due to the rapid increase in technology. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing because it actually makes communication faster and more easily accessed amongst individuals and organizations themselves. Therefore, more productivity is produced amongst people within an organization or in the world in general. However, face to face communication provides more of a greater connection vs. electronic communication, so there is that slight downside when it comes to comparing the pros and cons of face to face interaction vs. solely electronic based communication. I can see the benefits of both but would much rather have that connection that can only really come from face to face communication.
