some people believe that smartphones are destroying social interaction today. to what extent do you agree or disagree

Some believe that

smartphones

are erasing social

interaction

while others believe that it actually bring friends and family together through different ways of

communication

. In my point of view, I disagree to the statement to a higher extent as

smartphones

have made

interaction

easier by different mechanisms to interact with others but the quality of interactivity within close groups is weakening in comparison to older times. So, the statement has dual aspects which will be described in the below paragraphs. On the one hand,

smartphones

are great blessings of the modern age in terms of

communication

as it has different ways like social networking, internet calls as well as other means of

interaction

.

Moreover

,

smartphones

have reduced the cost of

communication

and make it more flexible and convenient.

For example

, A son who resides in Germany for professional purpose can easily communicate with his parents and friends residing in Bangladesh through use of smartphone easily and inexpensively at any time.

Therefore

,

this

is very apparent that

smartphones

help us a lot to balance our hectic work schedule and staying beside our closed group.

On the other hand

,

smartphones

are deteriorating quality of

interaction

among people at social scale as with the absence of face to face

communication

they like to fake their identity.

Moreover

,

this

type of unspontaneous

communication

leads them to the pitfall of a failed relationship in the long run.

For instance

, there are a high percentage of suicide cases came into consideration in 2019 which were started through fraudulent activities in the social sites.

However

,

this

type of crimes can easily be handled with proper awareness regarding different ways of

communication

through

smartphones

. To summarize, we can say that, we can not deny the change

smartphones

bring to our life in terms of

interaction

with one person to other but

smartphones

obviously have some bad impacts in our life like removing spontaneity of information exchange. More the people will know how to use

smartphones

efficiently, more will be the

communication

fruitful for us.
