People nowadays prefer to interact online (e.g. do shopping, chat with friends) rather than talking to other people face-to-face. What are the reasons for this? Is this a positive or negative development?

Nowadays, with the development of the internet and technologies, we can buy things without going to the shopping mall and

also

have various ways to communicate, to "talk" to other people without waiting for weeks to receive a friend's letter or meeting them

face

to

face

. To make all of these changes happened, lots of talented people, our scientists, researchers, and engineers have worked so hard to create incredible technologies. Now we do everything "online"; using your smartphone to order foods, clothes, or even a new car; talking to your friends from thousands of kilometres away. All of these technologies and tools made our modern

life

is more convenient, but those techs

also

create problems that we never had to deal with before. In my opinion, I think

this

circumstance is both a positive or negative development. Lots of people would agree that now we have a

life

's more wonderful and colourful than we had in the past - online

life

.

For example

, you don't have to go to a foreign country to see their beautiful scenery, discover their culture. Just use your computer and your gadgets, you can go, can see, and learn whatever you want to see, to learn. When you miss your relative, your family, just pick up your

phone

, your parents are on the line. When you'

re

starving, making a

phone

call and the food's on its way. You don't have to leave your home to make some new friends, thanks to the social networks.

On the other hand

, some people argue that we are losing our real emotion, real

life

, the real part of a human being. We'

re

sitting right

next

to each other, facing your

phone

, "talking" to others via your

phone

instead

of talking

face

to

face

. We'

re

eating at home all alone,

instead

of gathering our friends and find something new to eat together. We'

re

watching some people's hiking on youtube

instead

of climbing on the mountain all by ourselves. It seems like we forget to enjoy our

life

. In conclusion, I think all of the technologies, which help us to do a lot of things online, are a positive development, but it can cause some issues that we have to

face

and deal with.
