Nowadays people make new friends through social networks and internet chat groups. Some people think this is good, while others think face-to-face interaction is essential. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Some say making acquaintances online is a better way of making friends while others believe that in-person communication is important. While meeting new people via social media platforms is a convenient option because we can connect with others irrespective of the place and time,
however
, I believe that face-to-face conversation is better because it helps us to understand more about the person.
On the one hand, humans are making friends at the click of a button on online websites and apps Linking Words
such
as Facebook, Instagram, etc. Linking Words
This
helps us to connect with other people from different cultures, places, and countries. Linking Words
For example
, Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook based on the idea that anyone can make friends from any part of the world. Linking Words
However
, I believe that one cannot have a real connection until one meets in reality.
Linking Words
On the other hand
, an in-person meeting is very significant in today's world. There are so many fake profiles out there online which cannot be differentiated virtually. Linking Words
This
is Linking Words
also
known as catfishing. Linking Words
For example
, In India, there were cases where cyber criminals used to connect with the public via Instagram and gained their trust. Post that, they extracted their personal details Linking Words
such
as mobile numbers and bank information and Linking Words
finally
stole their money. I believe that Linking Words
this
method is preferable as the real conversation takes place through Linking Words
this
and there are fewer chances of fraud.
In conclusion, Linking Words
although
making an online companion and connecting with them is a good thing, it does not mean that the other is a genuine person to be a friend.Linking Words
