Some people argue that technological inventions, such as smartphones, are making people less socially active. Do you agree or disagree?

#people #inventions #smartphones
Many
people
 argue that digital devices
such
 as
smartphones
 are responsible for increasing socially isolated
users
. I totally agree with
this
 notion. I believe that
people
 are not using less
time
 for social activities by using
smartphones
, but they are
also
 becoming lonely by playing mobile
games
 all the
time
.
Smartphones
 are addictive, and
users
 spend hours due to their interactive mobile applications. The main reason is that most applications are designed for the

 process which requires an hour to complete in some cases. So,
users
 may be holding their phones for a long
time
 for completing their subscription process. As
smartphones
 are consuming enough
time
,
people
 will be having less
time
 available for social activities.  Another reason for social isolation is related to the excessive use of mobile
games
. It is because of
games
 developers who are not only creating interactive
games
 for all types, but they are making various stages in every game which is forcing players to spend extra
time
 on the phone rather than meeting some friends.
For example
, In China, the popularity of social platforms
such
 as cafe and park meetings are decreasing because of an increase in mobile phone
users
 who loves to play
games
 rather than going outside. In conclusion, we examined that how
smartphones
 have become the source of
time
 wastage and social isolation, and how
people
 have less
time
 for social gatherings as they are playing
games
 on their cell phones.
