Many people prefer to communicate with their online friends than to socialize with people in their local communities. Do you think it has more advantages than disadvantages?
Wibecaith the rapid growth of
technology
, the world has come a long way . The Internet considers the best invention in today's world . The Internet makes our life much easier . We can communicate with our dear ones through social media apps
like WhatsApp, Instagram , Facebook and many more . The effects of this
technology
have been universally acknowledged . There are many conflicting arguments related to this
issue . Nowadays it's very common to see that folks prefer to talk with their friends
online than have a conversation face to face . The popularity of face-to-face conversation slightly decreased in the current scenario . whether to agree or not it's a tough-provoking question. As far as I can see it is more justified to agree with the crowd who is comfortable with online communication. .in upcoming paragraphs, I will not only shed light on both sides but also
elaborate on my point of view regarding the issue.
To embark, if we have a deep look at the statement we will certainly be able to identify a good number of reasons why individuals prefer online platforms over meeting them in real. First
and foremost, with the help of different communication apps
individuals can talk with their family and friends
without leaving their room .
These technologies also
give us the opportunity to video call people
. Secondly
, meeting people
,in reality, can be very tough because of a hectic work schedule . people
can't make time to meet in person it's very time-consuming on the other hand
they can make a call or text them any time anywhere. For instance
, people
can wish people
exactly 12am on their birthday via video call which can be very hard to go and wish them in real . Furthermore
, the online platform gives us the opportunity to communicate with people
from all around the globe which helps us to improve our social skills . apps
like Facebook and Instagram have users across the globe . With such
apps
, we can be friends
with people
from other counties . For example
, I use Instagram to communicate with others . I'm not very fluent in English so I made friends
from overseas who speak English . Talking with them really help me a lot and improved my speaking skills a lot.
On the paradoxical side, we can't deny the fact that this
technology
has some drawbacks as well . Firstly
, it makes people
lazy . people
hardly go outside to make friends
or play with them as they used to play in the playground in past. It can lead them to several health problems such
as obesity. Secondly
, this
makes people
antisocial . People
become so comfortable on those apps
that they don't even try to make friends
in real . For example
, nowadays it's very hard to make friends
in real because individuals hardly speak to each other .
In conclusion , there are conflicting arguments related to technology
across the globe . As far as I can see it has more benefits than drawbacks .with a little control and contribution of the nation these advantages can easily outweigh the drawbacksSubmitted by shyamal017 on

Word Count
IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.
A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.
Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
