Nowadays people can use computers to talk, learn and communicate without leaving home. There is a danger that it will cause more isolation and a lack of communication among people. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

In the
last
 10 years, the virtual world has changed the way we interact with people. It has been a game changer in the current generation.
Although
, people now prefer to use their electronic devices to interact with family and friends, I believe as
time
 goes on, the dangers of using devices and having access to internet all the
time
 will increase significantly. Back in the olden days, when people were bored or wanted to spend some quality
time
 with friends, they would make the effort of meeting with each other.
However
, these days social media platforms
such
 as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter have made it really easy to stay in touch with friends without having to leave

Therefore
, frequent use of computers and other electronic devices can increase communication between people who are shy and reserve in person. In a nutshell, the usage of electronic devices will have a detrimental effect on communication. Some may feel it helps them stay in touch with friends whilst having a busy job, others may feel face to face interaction is necessary to convey emotions. I would like to suggest a balance between the two is the best way forward.
