In modern society, it is possible to go shopping, work, and accommodate via the Internet without face-to-face contact with one another. To what extent do you think this is a positive or negative development.

In

this

contemporary era,

people

can do great things on the

Internet

without doing them in person. From my perspective, the

Internet

does bring vital changes and merits to our life and pattern, but the demerits cannot be neglected. Admittedly, the advent of the

Internet

is doomed to pose a significant shift to human society, with its unique traits.

First

of all, the

Internet

helps

people

save considerable time, compared to the past.

For instance

, when it comes to shopping,

people

do not have to go out by themselves and still can finish purchasing what they need by clicking the items on the website.

Furthermore

, now,

people

can buy almost everything on the

Internet

, due to the skill of services and well-developed applications. Another benefit is that everyone can become a nomad if they want. These days, the pandemic is going to be more severe, so there is increasing work-from-home demand emerging so that

people

can reduce the chance of exposing themselves in public.

However

, during the development of the

Internet

, it simultaneously exerts the drawbacks to humans in some aspects. On the one hand, the

Internet

changes the way of human interaction, whereas

people

used to cultivate relationships through face-to-face meetings.

This

means that some relationships in

this

day are no longer strengthened or reliable.

Secondly

, the accompanying cyber crimes happen more frequently

such

as cyberbullying, fraud, and being hacked.

For example

, some wrongdoers may steal personal information while it was used to register on some websites or sign up for a membership. In my opinion, the

Internet

does make a conductive effect on our lives,

however

, the negative impact of it cannot be omitted while humans attempt to live in a more advanced world.
