Some people think that modern technology is making people more sociable, while others think iy is making them less sociable. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In the fast-growing world,

technology

is playing a significant role. While it is believed by some that technological development helps socialize, others regard it as the cause of isolation.

This

essay will analyse both sides and give a probable solution. There is substantial evidence that

technology

helps people build relationships. The inventions of social networking sites allow communication amongst geographically distant individuals. Meetings can be organised within personal space, which saves time, which had previously spent in travelling. It is now possible to attend social events without having to be physically present. Recent surveys have proven that individuals are increasingly participating in

such

events, as it does not consume unnecessary time. While there are obvious advantages to

technology

, it often affects individuals adversely. A report in Japan on ‘Hikikomori’ (isolation) recently proved how social anxiety in some is triggered by social networking sites and in worse cases, leads to suicide attempts.

Additionally

, people now take fewer efforts to build and maintain relationships. Technological developments in the gaming industry have caused a tremendous increase in the number of addicts, a report by Gaming World showed. Though

technology

has brought people closer, it has

also

caused evidential negative impacts. I believe technological growth is a must and development aimed at eradicating its harmful effects can lead to its complete use.
