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.
