society and it makes people believe that
technology
is responsible for making them more sociable. I completely disagree with
this
view because I believe that being social does not mean acquainting / connecting with new people and interacting on digital media; rather it is about maintaining personal interactions with the people around.
To begin
with,
technology
has enabled most people to live in a virtual
world
wherein they only interact with virtual friends and followers. They do not care about the people around them. They are in a desperate need to amass more likes and shares on social media. Even when attending a family function or a meeting, people are busy browsing their social media accounts and
thus
they fail to be attentive to the people around them. They are so busy showing themselves off in the digital
world
that they forget about the real people near them. The advances in
technology
have made people show more interest in

online life;
however
, it made them forget about face to face interaction. A recent study has shown that as youngsters spend more time on social media, they have become less sociable in real life. The vast majority of them do not even know who lives
next
door but they have virtual friends on all continents.
It is true that computers and mobile phones connect the universe and help people to find friends across the

persons and
as a result
there is a decline in human values and interactions.
Technology
makes people fake; it does not show the real trait of a person.
For example
, before the invention of
technology
, people shared happiness, pain, smiles and they extended their helping hands to

fellow humans. Nowadays they are portraying themselves to be socially active just for the sake of digital likes and shares.
In conclusion,
technology
fails to make man sociable in the real
world
. Being sociable lies in sharing a physical smile rather than a digital smiley.
Although
technology
offers greater connectivity among people worldwide, it is really making people less sociable.
