There is an ongoing debate about whether the internet may be helping people to nurture relationships and stay connected no matter the distance. While some people agree, others believe that using modern thecnologies can lead to isolation and discourage socialisation. I personally believe that the internet per se is not an issue, but actually a great resource to maintain long-distance relationships. Conversely, I think that the extreme use of the internet may be detrimental for people's social skills, and especially for children and young adults.
