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

#people #face #development
An increasing number of
people
 meet and talk to their friends online
instead
 of in person. In my opinion,
this
 is a negative development
which

 can lead to isolation, potentially harmful situations and
also
 problems later on in life. One serious problem that can arise from
people
 socializing online is that it can lead to isolation. Before the internet,
people
 would frequently go out to meet friends,
for example
 in cafes, bars or restaurants, whereas now
people
 prefer to stay at home alone, chatting online.
As a result
,
people
 are starting to spend the majority of their time alone at home in their room without meeting others. Desolation of
this
 kind is not healthy and can sometimes lead to depression and other issues. Another issue is that meeting
people
 online can be risky.
In other words
,
people
 can assume fake identities online as well as hide their true characteristics.
This
 is particularly concerning for teenagers who are impressionable and can easily be led into dangerous situations.
Furthermore
, as
this
 interaction is online, parents have no way of monitoring it and protecting their children.
Finally
, socializing online can end in difficulties years later as conversations and shared photos that had been forgotten reappear.
This
 situation is currently critical for many
people
, again especially for teenagers who do not think carefully before posting online.
That is
 to say, information
which
Correct pronoun usage
that

 is put online can remain there forever and while
people
 may share intimate communications with close friends, these words can
then
 resurface later on leading to much embarrassment. In conclusion,
although
 it has become more popular for
people
 to socialize through the internet, it has brought about too many problems for
this
 to be considered as a positive trend.
