Many believe that modern technology has brought people together, but others say that it has driven us apart. Discuss both viewpoints and give your own opinion.
In the modern world, some
people
believe that people
are more bonded together as a result
of advanced technology
. However
, others are against that opinion as technology
has separated people
apart. This
essay will examine both views and my perspective that I agree with the first
opinion will be given.
On the one hand, an increase in advanced technology
has played an important role in developing many new ways of communication for over a century that has made people
's life easier such
as e-mail, social media
platforms and online video conference tools. Those tools help people
to stay connected with others whenever and wherever they want via the internet. For example
, some individuals can make new friends or develop new relationships via social media
, while some use sms or online message service to keep texting
On the other hand
, there are some disadvantages of technology
that might drive people
apart. Firstly
, people
seem to have less in-person engagement as they tend to have less time spent on offline activities together, compared to the past. Furthermore
, some individuals, especially teenagers are social media
addicts and they seem to ignore their face-to-face surrounding people
. To give a more specific example, some people
are usually using their mobile phones for updating social media
and texting friends while they are having dinner with families and they need to focus more on having conversations with their families instead
of online things.
To conclude. I believe that the benefits of having technology
for communication far outweigh its drawback as it brings people
together without the limitations of distance and time and totally changes people
's lives in a better way. Although
there are some concerns that it could contribute to a worse relationship, I think each individual can finally
control and find a balance in engaging between online and offline and this
drawback will be no longer issue in society.Submitted by PIMFUNSUK on
