Some people believe that technology has made man more social. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

#people #technology #man
In
this
 period of technology, many
people
 claims that the advent of sophisticated modern technology
such
 as mobile phones, laptops and Ipad has helped to enhance and improve
people
's social lives compare to an earlier time. In my opinion, I partially agree with
this
 notion and believe that excessive dependency creates some drawbacks too. My opinion will be discussed in
further
 paragraphs with a suitable conclusion. Supporting my argument to the given statement the popularity of technology
such
 as cell phones allows
people
 to connect freely and easily with no geographical barriers. To cite an example, the invention of social apps like WhatsApp, skype reduced crucial face-to-face interactions dramatically. Through the use of these appealing and attractive mediums,
people
 feel in touch and connected yet lack key social skills and the ability to communicate. Explaining some of the other points against
this
 statement, it is true that dependence on
such
 devices is built up frighteningly easily which may have damaging effects on mental health and encourage a sedentary lifestyle.
For example
, recent scientific research in the UK demonstrated that
people
 in their 30s spend over 20 hours per week on Messenger and similar applications to chat with friends
instead
 of meeting up and spending quality time together or doing a sport.
As a result
, it is conclusively clear that these technological advancements have decreased and diminished real-life interactions. In conclusion, from the argument and examples given, I firmly believe that overall communication and sociability has been advanced enormously due to the huge technological progress over the past twenty years despite some drawbacks.
