. While technological development and change in employment structure are responsible for

Suggestion

an immense impact

on the individuals and the

society

at large that we will be considering in

this

essay. One compelling reason why people remain indoors in

this

generation far longer than at previous times is because of growth in technology.

In other words

, many people find the opportunity that technological advancement provides as a good reason to spend less

time

outdoors.

For example

, the advances in computer and internet have given rise to social media, which has substituted for a number of people the need to meet face to face

that is

usually required to keep relationships going.

This

is because you can make video calls and avoid meeting with friends these days unlike in past generations.

Suggestion

In addition

, a shift in workplace organization has contributed greatly to individuals remaining indoors more than what was obtainable in the past. Presently, numerous companies and businesses allow their staff to work from

home

and

this

is something that was erstwhile absent in the workplace setup.

This

reduces the length of

these employees have to be away from

. Undoubtedly,

development has impacted significantly on people and the wider

society

. Owing to people spending

For instance

, when people spend

the bulk

of their

time

at

home

watching television, they hardly have

time

to socialize with their peers.

Consequently

, the number of lonely people in our

society

has increased.

Also

,

this

has culminated in rising health concern for individuals and the

society

. Researches have shown that humans are social animals that if isolated for extended duration, get adversely affected.

This

results in mental challenge problems, which is why people become driven to insanity and suicidal thoughts when incarcerated over

time

. The enormous cost of managing these problems is a serious drawback for nations around the world

such

as Lithuania where suicide rate has reportedly snowballed for

this

reason. In conclusion, for some obvious reasons that are examined in

this

article, the trend of people living apart from others by spending more of their

time

at

home

has led to having

huge population

Suggestion

a huge population

of lonely people and surging mental health concern

that is

having damaging effects on individuals and the

society

. Given

situation,

should be made by everyone in order to forestall

this

negative development.
