Some people believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school. Do the advantages of it outweigh the disadvantages?

Experts throughout the both developed and undeveloped

have debated whether the advent of sophisticated modern technology

such

as mobile phones, laptops, iPad have helped to enhance and improve people’s social lives or whether the opposite has become the case. Personally, I strongly advocate the former view.

This

essay will discuss both sides using the examples from the UK government and Oxford University to demonstrate points and prove arguments.

Firstly

detrimental, especially

to the younger generation who are more easily affected by its addictive nature which can result in people feeling more isolated from the society. The central reason for

this

is twofold,

firstly

the invention of social media site and apps

such

as Facebook and WhatsApp have the reduced crucial face-to-face interactions dramatically. Through the use of these appealing and attractive mediums, people feel in touch and connected yet lack key social skills and the ability to communicate.

Secondly

, dependence on

such

devices is built up frighteningly easily which have a damaging effect on mental health and encourage a sedentary lifestyle.

For instance

, recent scientific research by the UK government demonstrated that people over 30s spend more than 20 hours a week on online social platforms to chat with their friends

instead

of meeting up and spending a quality time together or doing sport.

As a result

, it is conclusively clear that these

On the other hand

,

although

there are significant downsides to technological advancements; its multifold advantages cannot be denied.

This

is largely because the popularity of

allows people to connect freely and easily with no geographical barriers. People are able to share any type of information, news, photos with their friends or loved ones wherever or whenever,

keeping a feeling of proximity and closeness.

For example

a study by Oxford University illustrated that people who work or study abroad and regularly use apps

such

Facebook or WhatsApp are less likely to experience loneliness and feel out of the loop than those who do not. Consistent with

line of thinking is that businessmen are
