Some people think that with the increasing use of mobile phones and computers, people lose the ability to communicate face to face. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is being argued that because
people
are spending more
time
using mobile phones and computers, they are
forgeting

situation. I disagree with

access easier and cheaper every day. Nowadays, there is a huge variety of equipment allowing consumers to choose from a cheaper model to a very expensive one.
For example
, when mobile phones were launched in Brazil, there was a waiting list to get one and the price was almost the same as a car.
