Some people believe that smartphones are destroying social interaction today. To what extent do you agree or disagree.?

Many assume that

smartphones

have undermined social interaction among

people

these days, but others think

this

device has a positive side. In my opinion, I don't think

smartphones

are destroying our communication because of the diversity of their existential advantages. On the one hand,

smartphones

decrease face-to-face interaction which means that there are not as many

people

today who meet and talk in person.

For example

, most coffee shops are filled with

friends

and families using their

phones

and not talking to each other. The result of

this

phenomenon is that

people

not only lose interest in harmonizing with their interlocutors but

also

do not find joy in their daily conversations. Researchers have shown that most

people

today would love spending most of their time utilizing

phones

rather than talking or meeting with

friends

.

On the other hand

,

smartphones

are famous for their versatility in helping humans make contact with each other better. There is the fact that

people

today can easily take advantage of social media

such

as Facebook, and Twitter to start online dating with

friends

, join many chat groups, and make plans to hang out in person.

Moreover

, in

this

cruel pandemic with constant lockdown,

people

can leverage mobile

phones

and online platforms to keep in touch and maintain their existential relationships. In conclusion,

smartphones

have not demolished social intercourse among

people

because it gives

people

many new opportunities to connect with others, which did not exist in the past.

Thus

, everyone should find a good way to use their

phones

to stay in touch with

friends

and family

instead

of spending time letting themself be shacked in their room
