communication

. Over decades, it had altered to the level of metaverse society, where you could meet people in a specific digital place.

Hence

, the adolescent has a huge tendency to overuse these advantages to the level of shifting face-to-face

interaction

into the ancient method. I strongly believe that the accessibility to the internet influenced the opinion about

interaction

.

For instance

, in the remote area with the least infrastructure, the people would be more convenient with direct

communication

. Since the access scarcity of technology, they only could engage in physical

interaction

. Whereas in the developed city, the improvement of utility has provided,

therefore

the access is easier,

thus

make the online

communication

become more manageable. Doing online chatting or video conference is a trivial

activity

. Due to that, online

interaction

is more favourable than face-to-face. Engaging the group physical

activity

could be an alternative to diminish the addiction to online

activity

.

For example

, assigning the youth to spend their time with the sport will demand them to conduct the outdoor

activity

. In my opinion, peer-effect in

this

development stage is paramount. When the peer brings a new idea, it will spread inside their circle.

Although

it may be facing a hardship to shift the habit, it would be a vital approach to influence the teenager. Especially, approaching the leader of the group would be more effective in order to spread the new habit.

Hence

, by influencing the group it will affect the entire component of its member and with the physical

activity

, it is expected direct contact and

communication

. In conclusion, online

interaction

is an inevitable transformation due to digitalization.

However

, it could not alter the direct

communication

.
