Truly people say that
instead
of us seeing the
internet
as a means of creating diverse communication possibilities worldwide, we should be concerned about the effect it is having on social interactions which I totally agree
to
to a degree exceeding normal or proper limits
too
. One of the reasons I agree with
this
view is because people now spend more time on the
internet
doing what does not benefit them
for instance
, watching videos of immoral activities.
This
time being spent on watching these videos could be spent on building good transmission skills with people around them. More so, people are now resorting to the
internet
to do things that could be done in person or things that some people are to be paid to do.
Furthermore
, the
internet
has helped people lessen their interactions with others which does not help in building their people skills, good communication skills, leadership skills and all other skills needed for good interaction.
For instance
, I prefer using the
internet
, WhatsApp to be precise to message my friend or roommate
that is
around me for something I need all because I probably do not want to get up from where am sitting or I do not actually feel like talking.
However
, the
internet
has aided ways of communicating worldwide through Skype, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram, Zoom, E-mail and all other forms of social media so you do not have to travel far or take a lot of time to send a letter to someone in another country nor journey down to deliver goods to a person but
this
same
internet
has so much limited physical and social interactions between people. In conclusion, the
internet
does not help to build one's person's skill, communication skills and other necessary skills needed to have a good, proper and sound interactions with people.
