Nowadays, the innovation of technology generates the
Internet
as one of the greatest inventions.
As a result
of
this
, there are some
people
who think that they can have closer relationships than in the past.
On the other hand
, others believe that the use of the
Internet
makes individuals and groups alone.
This
essay, as my opinion leads to, will try to elaborate on both points of view and my own idea with some considerations.
To commence with, it is true that the
Internet
has negative effects on
people
in terms of communication.
In other words
, the use of the
Internet
may have a higher chance of making
people
feel alone. It is mainly because many
people
today are so obsessed with their social media accounts and online presence that they are losing their ability to communicate with
people
in real life.
That is
to say, SNS is harming
people
's communicative skills. What is worse, since
people
are addicted to the
Internet
, especially SNS, they forget the important fact that real relationships are not built over a text message.
Therefore
, there is no doubt that they may feel lonely sometimes due to too much time to face their screens.
Despite the aforementioned downsides, I personally believe that there are more advantages than disadvantages of using the
Internet
, particularly Instagram or Twitter. One of the reasons is that the significant rise in the ownership of smartphones has meant that individuals are able to record their everyday experiences so easily today.
In addition
, more and more
people
can share these moments with friends and family through social networks. Another reason is that online communication may overcome geographical barriers, which means that they can contact each other wherever they want, whenever they want.
For example
, when my friends all over the globe post some pictures on Instagram, I always send a message to them on Instagram in order to keep up with them.
That is
why SNS is one of the most suitable tools to contact whomever they want easily, leading to bringing them closer together.
To sum up, using the
Internet
has simultaneously positive and negative influences on not only community but
also
individuals;
however
, I personally think that advantages outnumber the disadvantages because
people
today are too busy so they prefer the flexibility of the
Internet
services definitely.
