Nowadays, more people are choosing to socialise online rather than face to face. Is this a positive or negative development?

Socializing through the internet is the preferred option for more people these days

instead

of having a face to face interactions. In my opinion, in-person discussions are better than online socializing in many ways for the social welfare of mankind and

hence

the current trend is a negative development.

Firstly

, face-to-face discussions are the traditional way of developing human

relationships both

relationships, both

in a family and professional environment.

For example

, if we take an

, owing to the extent of technological development currently, there are certain meetings held in person like price negotiations, sales meetings, and some training sessions. Exchanging opinions in-person enables us to observe the facial expression and body language of the other side to identify their agreement to the points discussed.

Moreover

this

helps to save time and energy, in turn, the cost involved in exchanging communications online so as to understand the opinion of each party clearly. In a family, when a

sometimes the

responds mentioning that we can discuss

. So, over dinner in a relaxing situation, they can think clearly and exchange opinions about the different perspectives thoroughly.

Also

gives the

to evaluate the mindset of the

child

while accepting his decision.

Secondly

, socialising online

such

as Facebook, Instagram includes some risk factors and has become materialistic. The posts or opinions shared on social media can be seen by many people some of whom are not even into the

second

or

third

layer of friends or relatives. There are incidences

such

as theft in a locked house, robbery in which case the status of the specific property was shared on social media as the family is travelling abroad or attending a family event out of the city. With the decrease in face-to-face discussion there are many issues arising within the society like a difference of opinion among siblings, hostile relationships among colleagues in the office, strained boss-sub-ordinate relationships which lead to scornful situations which cannot be patched back at all. Why does

give importance to informal meetings like a manager going out for coffee or lunch with his subordinates?

This

is the best example to show how important are personal communications in an organisation which is a professional environment. Said that the importance of face-to-face discussions in a family cannot be emphasised wherein the emotional attachment is very much required.

Hence

, I can conclude definitely online socialising in place of personal discussions is not a healthy development.
