According to a recent study, the more time people used the internet the less time they spend with real human beings. Some people say that instead of seing the internet as a way of opening up new communication possibilities worldwide, we should be concerned about the effect this is having on social interaction. How far do you agree with this opinion?

A recent study has shown that people spend more time on the internet than relating to human being,

although

the technology has helped the world communicate positively, but significantly have a negative effect on our affair with others in our day to day activities.

Firstly

, the use of the internet in communication in our environment of today has really contributed positively to the economy and social life by the use of email, Facebook and so on.

For instance

, the people you never dreamed of talking to or knowing in the whole part of the world will be communicated with.

Moreover

, by sending email to people on business transactions, within a few seconds, you get your feedback and know the

next

step to take.

However

,

this

has caused so many people not to be in accord with friends or neighbours which can result to low self esteem. Having a connection with human being helps in building one's interpersonal skills

such

as morale, trust, thereby when found in the midst of different people or crowd, we can be able to communicate fluently without being timid.

In addition

, "a friend in need is a friend indeed," building good communication with friends

gives

Suggestion

is given

the opportunity the Information Technology cannot provide in times of need.

Also

, when in a dilemma, the adage says "two good heads are better than one", with socialization, the parties concerned can reason together and get to the conclusion of the matter.

Furthermore

, human affair has contributed greatly in reducing psychological issues

such

as depression, and anxiety which in turn has reduced the rate of suicide attempt in our environment. In my opinion, I thereby conclude that people should spend quality time in building relationship with a human being rather than being on the internet all day.
