Technology has affected the way we interact and understand our relationship with computers. Some of the technologies such as augmented reality and voice technology are set to define the current era are rapidly becoming common alongside the less familiar like extended and diminished reality. Uniting these technologies will bring computers closer to our bodies with a smooth interaction between people and devices.
Augmented reality refers to a culmination of machines that will help us see an enhanced view of the world, according to a 2018 article written by Kory titled "A machine and human's perception of the world in Augmented Reality". The goal is to place over the computer's perception of space with the understanding of a human. A virtual space is nothing but a computer's understanding of the real world as provided by humans.
As for augmented space, according to Lev Manovich in his article titled "The Poetics of Augmented Space", he referred the term as a physical space that is overlaid with expanding changes of information and that it is a new ideal way with its own logic and implications. He complies all four fundamental components of an AR system into the augmented space. These components, comprising of a display system; sensing, tracking & registration; input & interaction technique, and virtual content creation and rendering, are how the Augmented Reality system is structured. With those components that suggest techniques as well as narrative ways to create an immersive experience within physical spaces. It helps to facilitate the transformation between the space and real-time in an active instantaneous environment which bridges the physical and digital and allowing new forms of interaction and transforming a space to a place.
For decades, we had been closely tied to our technology because the digital world has increasingly become physical and many of us are turning our naivety towards digital technology, whether we like it or not. In 1991, computer scientist Mark Weiser predicted the future when he mentioned that technology will become "ubiquitous that no one will notice its presence". An article on Space10 titled 'The Augmented Human: How Technology Began To Merge with the Body, and Where to go Next' mentioned that our engagement with technology has become more interactive from it responding to our gestures and movements, we're a world away from how we used to interact with computers. And how in the past where we have been speaking the language of computers in order to interact with them has now shifted to them speaking the language of the people.
Augmented space enables people to immerse themselves in their own bubble where they can express their thoughts and emotions. It often acts as their imaginary place and escapism from reality. Technology has altered the way people feel and it creates outlets for them to express their emotions. Because both emotions and technology are studied from a variety of disciplines, their intersection, likewise, can be examined from different viewpoints.
Emotions allowed early humans to interact with
larger numbers of potentially unknown others
(Turner 2000) setting the stage for the develop-
ment of more complex societies, which simul-
taneously required developments in production,
organizational, and survival technologies (Nolan
and Lenski 1996). As humans evolved, rational
thought developed and was reinforced by the cul-
ture of advanced technologies

In the early stages where emotion interplays with humans through a series of developments into more complex societies in production, organizational, and survival. As humans evolved, so did technology which reinforced and rationalized a human's thoughts. According to a study made by Douglas S. Massey where he mentioned human neurological development prefer emotion over rationality. This has to lead to an unbalanced between two as the former is more influential or bypass over rational thinking whereas the latter is less influential or slower over emotions. The use of technology can be tied to the affective process where emotions altering technology use patterns while the technology used to alter one's emotional state.

There are two sides to technology and emotions. The first side is where the culture that is built around modern technologies has overtaken and increase people's emotions causing them to develop stress, anxiety, and depression. This is due to the overloading of new information, the nature of Information Technology, and media multitasking. The second side is where the opposite effect applies to humans as they use the internet as a source of entertainment and escapism from their reality as well as increasing their emotional well-being and reduce depression. Depending on the users, the technology around them, and how they use it, it has use to create both positive and negative reactions.
