In the last 20 years there have been significant developments in the field of information technology (IT), for example the World Wide Web and communication by email. However, these developments in IT are likely to have more negative effects than positive in the future. To what extent do you agree with this view?

Despite the obvious growth in areas of information

technology

such

as world wide web and communication by email that we have experienced in the

last

two decades, there are still

few concerns

Suggestion

a few concerns

expressed recently about its downsides which might exceed the benefits. I absolutely agree with

this

notion, and will,

therefore

, examine some of these potential issues in

this

essay

To begin

with, the internet is the major cause of lack of human interaction in the society. Surfing the internet is addictive because there are numerous interesting activities that can be performed which would definitely catch the attention of individuals.

For instance

, people exchange pleasantries on Facebook and learn vocational training on

Youtube

Suggestion

YouTube

for a long period of time. By doing

this

, we tend to distance ourselves from humans and glue our face to the computer.

As a result

, physical human interaction will reduce and lack of empathy will increase.

In addition

,

technology

is the root cause of

increased unemployment rate

Suggestion

an increased unemployment rate

in some sections.

Although

there are

visible jobs

Suggestion

the visible jobs

created in the telecommunication unit, the growth of email has caused the downfall of

post office

Suggestion

the post office

and

mail box

a private box for delivery of mail

mailbox

. Not only

did we sent

Suggestion

did we send

have we sent

did we sent

letters through emails, we

also

attached and exchanged files through the internet. To illustrate, on the 5th of May 2014, Cussons Nigeria Limited sent my appointment letter for the position of cashier through their official email address. Whereas,

this

would have been carried out by an officer of the Nigerian Post Office.

This

means that

technology

has replaced human. In conclusion, even though information

technology

is beneficial to individuals

by

Suggestion

By

enhancing prompt service delivery, the negative effects

such

loss of job and lack human feeling are unacceptable.

Therefore

, as we delve deeper in the usage of information

technology

, the negative effects have more impact on us
