According to a recent study, the more time people use the Internet, the less time they spend with real human beings. Some people say that instead of seeing the Internet as a way of opening up new communication possibilities world- wide, we should be concerned about the effect this is having on social interaction. How far do you agree with this opinion?

In recent years, many people spend
time
on the
internet
, especially teenagers and
thus
spending less
time
with real people. Even though, the
internet
or technology can help worldwide communicate, but it
also
has a negative effect which is effective in our daily life activities.
First
, the benefits of the
internet
about communication are hard to disagree about it. People can talk and connected in a different part of the world. It’s better than past that can use only email or phone which takes
time
and hard to reply in real-
time
. So, the
internet
has changed in a better way dramatically. It
also
has a lot of applications for chatting
such
as Facebook Line MSN or Instagram that created online communities and can share everything in real life. For business, the
internet
is very important since people have to use the
internet
to contact suppliers or customers within a
second
.
On the other hand
, the
internet
has negative impacts on social interaction. People spend most of their
time
chatting and watching some news or
Youtube
Suggestion
YouTube
. So, they aren’t interacting with
neighbors
a person who lives (or is located) near another
neighbours
or friends in real life. “Human being is a social animal” Aristotle said,
this
phrase can prove by now in
this
situation, COVID-19. Even though we have
internet
and can be
meeting
Suggestion
met
with video
calling but
Accept comma addition
calling, but
it is still not like real humans.
Also
, those who spend too much
time
on the
internet
are the cause of many syndromes
such
as office syndromes and they will lack face to face interaction, which is opposite to what is the human being. In conclusion, I strongly agree with concerned about social interaction.
Although
the
internet
indeed has many benefits, we have to concerned about the amount of
time
of spending on the
internet
. It is important to manage and balance
time
between online and real humans.
