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?

It is apparent that these days people are spending more

time

on the

internet

usage, which is resulting in less human interaction. It is believed by some that the use of

internet

the internet

not only has advantages towards networking, but

also

has a disadvantage towards socialising. The

first

advantage of the

internet

has become a source connecting with people across the globe through several social media sites and communication applications like Skype, Whatsapp etc. It has helped people to grow and maintain their relationships by staying in touch with each other online. Another advantage is the fact that it has opened several platforms to build professional connections throughout the world via Linkedin which has helped many people to secure jobs nationally as well internationally.

As a result

, it has proven to be a great medium to familiarise oneself to different people across the globe. Despite these positive developments, the

internet

also

has a negative effect on social interactions. Nowadays, people, especially the young generation, are heavily dependent on the

internet

to find new friends and relationships in their life. Along with that they spend an ample amount of

time

on the

internet

games, streaming, online shopping and entertainment, which mean that they spend more

time

online and less pay attention to their surrounding events, families, and neighbourhood. My younger brother,

for instance

, is unaware of the names of some of his immediate cousins,

instead

of attending family get together events, he always preferred to stay home and play online games. As a consequence of

this

, the use of

internet

has a drawback on public interactions. To sum up, the

internet

is a great invention if it is used wisely and effectively. I am opinion that the

time

spent on the

internet

usage must be towards strengthening short as well as long distance relationships đeicating quality

time

to both.

therefore

Suggestion

Therefore

, it is important to maintain balance between the virtual

internet

world as well as the real.
