These days, mobile phones and the internet are very important to the way in which people relate to one another socially. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

Internet and cell phones have offered a myriad of applicable methods in several aspects in modern life; their online applications on social relationships have become indispensable.

Although

there are still drawbacks of interact socially online by these ways, I believe that their advantages are more significant.

To begin

with, depending on mobile online applications in social communication could cause hazardous influence on individuals’ psychological state. To illustrate, a recent study by the University of Singapore, involved about 10.000 psychological patients, showed that 3 out of 10 of these patients are suffering from alienation and loneliness

as a result

of their social

behavior

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

, and the lack of face-to-face interactions with their social networks is a major contributory factor. As

this

example illustrated, if people communicate with others online without enjoy the sense of gathering,

this

could result psychological disturbances.

Nevertheless

, I suppose the advantages of using online social platforms would eclipse their negatives as saving time is one of these merits.

This

is exemplified by, organizing social events, namely birthday parties or family outing, have become easier by creating an event on Facebook, the well-known social platform.

This

show, many people could keep in touch with their beloved ones all day long throughout mobile apps which facilitate their communication.

Furthermore

, social media facilitate gaining information by its instant notifications; people could realize a plethora of world news which enrich their knowledge.

For instance

, many people all over the world updated with the Egyptian revolution events, in 2011, by surfing the internet

such

as Google and YouTube websites.

This

would broaden people horizon and enhance their knowledge. In conclusion, despite the negative influence of using smart phones and the internet on individuals’ psychological state, I hold the notion that its advantages exceed the drawbacks it may cause. Because not only do online applications facilitate people’s social communication, but

also

it could provide them with valuable information.
