Although

, technological advancement has offered many the opportunity to interact without distance barrier, I am of the view that it has reduced close interactions within our immediate environment. On the one hand, it is believed that the recent technological advancements allow people to interact with others outside their immediate

This

is because people can now make friends and maintain relationships with individuals who are far from them through the

of the internet.

For example

such

as Facebook and Telegram, people can make friends online and keep in touch despite having distance barriers.

As a result

, some think that there are more opportunities to socialise due to recent

.

On the other hand

, many people are addicted to

technology

, which prevents them from socializing with others around them.

This

occurs because with few exceptions, people are now preoccupied with watching movies on television, chatting online or playing music and video games rather than discussing at length with family members, making new friends or having face-to-face interactions with their neighbours.

For instance

, a recent study in Nigeria identified the

use

of modern

technology

as a major impediment to efforts geared towards making youths more friendly and interactive.

Thus

, modern

technology

has adversely affected interactions between people today. I agree with

this

viewpoint. In conclusion, while through the

use

of

technology

can make people socialize with others outside their surroundings, I am of the view that the addiction to

technology

has reduced the time available for people to interact with others in their environment.
