Has this become a positive or negative development? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience

Undoubtedly, technologies are changing human life. Communication’s interaction is one of the most advanced changes
that is
brought by technology. With the help of the latest breakthrough, the interaction
way
is completely changed in
this
era.
Way
of communication has been tremendously altered in the modern era but it has
also
its own limitations.
Firstly
, the methods, letter and transportation, which we used to connect with near and dear ones, has completely refashioned with the help of computers. There are so many applications that re available in the market
such
as Skype, zoom and what apps etc, to communicate with our family at any
time
with minimum cost. A few years back, we used to go to STD to make a call but now we have mobile phones, we can save
time
instead
of standing at the queue.
Secondly
, there is an online education system, through which can you can attend the classes from anywhere around the world.
Although
, it is a very convenient
way
to learn new technology at
home
for any age group. While before
this
advancement, we can not attend the classes which we missed in an emergency.
For example
, when I was in graduation. Suddenly, there was an urgent call from
home
and
then
went
home
for 10 days. I thought that I was going to miss these lectures. But with the help of
this
modernization, the colleges record all the lectures and, I saw all lecture along with my class. At the same
time
, we should not ignore the disadvantages of new advancement.
On the other hand
, we are making call regularly at
home
if we are far-away, but I feel that we are fading our relationships and not able to build a solid bonding in the family. I remember a
time
when I came abroad for my master, I was not able to attend a lot of marriages in my hometown and but made to call friends. They have appreciated my wishes but looks like , I was not able to make a strong bond. If I could attend, it would be totally different. Nowadays, on the social media platform, we have a large no. of friends but still,we feel that none of them is strongly connected. To sum up all, modernization is modifying our
way
of life
such
as we are having more connection but none is a close connection. To make a strong connection, we should have a personal touch in it. It can not be achieved by a virtual
way
of communication. Let’s convert or virtual communication into real one by directly meeting with our close and dear ones regularly.
