We live today in an electronic information age. It is easier to be connected by technology, yet many people seem to no closer to feeling happy in their lives. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

Unarguably, the advancement of
technology
has revolutionized communication and pushed the world to more of a “
borderless
” front.
However
, despite the many perks that come with the electronic age, the disadvantages are
nonetheless
forthcoming. I will expound on these two tenets and
lastly
conclude with a personal opinion.
To begin
with, the merits of
technology
are innumerable. Currently, it has become easier and faster to access a wide variety of information
on

in
a fast- hand basis.
This
has greatly impacted the
leaning
the cognitive process of acquiring skill or knowledge
learning
experience of students and teachers as well. While in the past, they would have scavenged through a pile of books. In fostering personal relations, the speed at which people can communicate with each other despite distances has
also
increased.
For example
, sending messages via media
such
as
whatsapp
social or solitary hymenopterans typically having a slender body with the abdomen attached by a narrow stalk and having a formidable sting

, line telegram etc.
is

Is
instant which
also
eludes an instant response. In businesses, the use of emails and video calling platforms
such
as zoom, google meets, Microsoft teams and so forth has proved cost effective
and efficient, more

some
in
Suggestion
of
the current unprecedented times under the corona pandemic.
However
, and
in contrast
, there`s a flip side to
technology
. In terms of personal relations, while the main intent was to bring people closer, the opposite seems to be apparent. There has been great research that
technology
seems to be negatively impacting personal relations as people do not often relay their true feelings or character, a sort of “hiding behind the keyboard.”
Additionally
, with the advent of social media, there has been a rise in hate crimes and
cyberbullying
. In business, bank accounts have been subjected to hacks and sensitive information leaked to the public. In conclusion, the world as is currently
is
Suggestion
being
, is continually going to continue
advancing
Suggestion
to advance
in the technological front. While it is apparent that great disadvantages are erupting, it seems inevitable and sort of a price to pay for the world to reap benefits.
Nonetheless
, in my opinion, not all is lost, and it is now the role of governments to self-regulate and come up with measures that specifically address these emerging issues.
