Mobile phones and the Internet have made it easy to stay in contact with other people. However, as a lot of time is spent using telephones and computers, there is less face-to-face contact and direct communication. Is the growing use of communications technology a positive or a negative development for society ?

A growing number of people claim that communications technologies like mobile phones and the Internet have revolutionized the way individuals interact with each other.

However

, when it comes to whether it is a positive or not for society, people hold conflicting views. For me, it is obvious that the use of communications

technology

has a major negative impact on the users. The primary reason why I believe that the use of communications

technology

is a negative development

for

of

society is that it tends to breed laziness which will probably bring about major problems

.

Let us take teenagers as an example of

this

. Each of the owns a mobile phone with an access to the Internet and they usually spend more hours online,

instead

of doing homework or revising for an exam. What I mean by

this

is that the communications

technology

is doing nothing but decreasing their productivity and causing them to waste their time. Another reason that supports my view is that the communications

technology

is likely to cause addiction in individuals and

this

is probably a major contributor of the problems related to illnesses.

For instance

, a man who is spending 2 or 3 hours surfing the Internet in a coffee shop or in an ordinary chair at home, is expected to suffer from backache or obesity.

However

, one plus side of using communications

technology which

technology, which

we should not turn a blind eye to is that it encourages some people to develop an interest to the

technology

. A perfect example of

this

is the teenagers who earn a lot of money as a

developer

in the USA. But for the communications

technology

like the Internet and computers, they would likely be among the children who rely on their parents for money. To conclude, I can say that the downsides of communications

technology

for society like laziness and addiction are worth considering before buying.
