According to a recent study, the more time people use the Internet, the less time they spend with real human beings. Some people say that instead of seeing the Internet as a way of opening up new communication possibilities world- wide, we should be concerned about the effect this is having on social interaction. How far do you agree with this opinion?

The

around us today is opening up, thanks to technology. While the advancement of technology is a welcomed development as it has enhanced our lives in several ways,

such

has its downsides. Research has shown that individuals are spending enormous

is a cause for concern as it is affecting human relations and interactions negatively.

This
