With the development of online communication, people will never be alone and will always be able to make new friends. To what extent do you agree?
Nowadays the discussion regarding whether the advancement of the
internet
eliminates loneliness and enable people
to make virtual friends
has sparked off an intense debate. In my honest opinion, remote communication
makes people
's life easier in terms of friend-making. However
, it is not a perfect substitute for the traditional ways of communication
.
On the one hand, the development of cyber technology does boost the process of making relationships. Firstly
, convenience by remote communication
tools
like Zoom, people
are able to make contact and communications remotely without really physically reach out with their friends
, which save the time consumes and the cost of transportation. This
may in turn enable people
to make more contact and reduce boredom. Secondly
, due to the characteristic of the internet
that a tremendous amount of people
can have access to it, the existence of remote communication
tools
also
provide people
with chances to make a large variety of friends
. These two factors illustrate the fact that the advancement of communication
tools
faster the process of contact-making.
On the other ,hand it is also
undeniable that with the absence of real face-to-face communication
, the internet
is a poor solution to eliminate loneliness.This
is due to the fact that, by only utilizing the internet
or some virtual communication
tools
like Face Chat, it is extremely hard to build up a strong relationship since it is difficult for individuals to have full trust in the strangers on the internet
and therefore
may avoid making friends
with them.One good example can be, reported in a review, over 98% of the life-long relationship is built face to face.
To sum up the above-mentioned statements. Although
the existence of the internet
serves a good function in terms of connecting people
,in terms of life-long friends
making, online communication
is far from enough.Submitted by 3062259511 on
