Nowadays, more people are choosing to socialize online rather than face to face. Is this a positive or negative development?

In recent times, many

people

are selecting to socialize on the

internet

rather than a physical meeting. I think

this

is a positive development.

Firstly

, many persons find online socialization convenient for them. In

this

modern dispensation many

people

are carried away with work and other activities of life, so meeting friends face could not be convenient for them.

In addition

, social media friends will only engage you when you are less busy.

For instance

, in 2019, more than sixty per cent of British citizens socialized more online, using different platforms in their leisure time.

As a result

of

this

, many individuals, create a bonding relationship that to have lead to marriage.

Hence

, making friendship on the

internet

is very comfortable than trying to meet folks in person.

Secondly

, the

internet

-based relationship is very cheap and affordable for most folks. For anyone to participate in social media friendship, mobile data is needed for him or her to connect to other persons.

However

, in some ,locality the WiFi connection is very poor and frustrate connection with

people

in the

internet

public space.

For example

, in 2020, Twitter created a very unique platform called space in their handle where thousands of

people

can meet and discuss a particular topic,

this

is very affordable as nobody will need a venue to host a meeting.

Thus

, the public tends to be more aware of themselves using social media as it is less expensive. In conclusion, in present times, the public has chosen to socialize on the

internet

as it is convenient and inexpensive.
