With the rapid advancement of communication technology:: smart phones, tablets and other mobile devices, some people believe that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. To what extent do you agree or disagree? To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Recently, the advent and popularity of cutting-edge communication technology has unfolded the possibility of connecting people from different places around the world, which engenders public opposing ideas of whether the drawbacks of

such

devices would eclipse the benefits. In my opinion, I completely agree with that statement. Still, there are certainly several values that new lines of mobile phones and tablets bring to users.

technological development is a threshold of a new world where people are connected in a global network, which provides them with opportunities to meet people of diverse backgrounds and personalities. Compared to the past, modern people now could easily get to know people, even

However

advancement should be paid more attention to. As people rely too much on tablets or mobile phones, there would be a high chance of them losing the ability to effectively interact with each other in real life. More dangerously, addiction and aggression might be the price that people had to pay if they did not refrain from using new appealing applications and games. Unfortunately, many incidents resulting in a few casualties have been reported when players are too engrossed in their games, especially after the release of Pokemon-Go.

This

might be a strong basis for the belief that those devices would do more harm than good. In conclusion, I believe that the downsides of contemporary technological development might be more significant than the benefits.
