Social Media has helped us increase our virtual networks. This has isolated us physically, making us socially awkward in person. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give your opinion.

Today, the way to stay connected is by staying online, chatting with friends or colleagues,

this

might give a feel of having many people in our life but it needn’t be the truth. In my opinion, the current trend is not beneficial in building a real network and having seamless social interactions.

This

essay will discuss how online networks fool us into believing virtual reality and its repercussions.

Firstly

, staying online is the way to stay in touch and

this

requires an individual to stay glued to a device, be it a mobile phone or a laptop,

this

is done to communicate with one another.

However

, what one does not realise is that

this

makes the person distant from immediate family dear ones.

For instance

, when I am messaging a friend, I stop realising what is ongoing in my surroundings.

Secondly

, another trap is the request that one can send or accept to grow one’s network and make friends, but it doesn’t really help the purpose. No matter how many online friends it is not sensible to rely on them to come in handy, in times of need rather it is the dear ones that can be reached out to at any point in time.

For example

, When I was in need of support, it was my sibling who was there for me.

Moreover

, Being stuck to a device makes a human lose out on the basis of a society,

that is

socializing if

this

continues people will only be comfortable connecting via devices and not face to face. In my opinion, too much of anything is not good

hence

keeping

such

activities in moderation can help make things better.
