In the modern world, it is possible to shop, work and communicate with people via the internet, and live without any face-to-face contact with others. Is it a positive or negative development in your opinion?

Nowadays, everyone is having
internet
connection.

The Internet

makes it possible to speak to your friends by messenger or Facebook and do your groceries and clothes shopping online. Going in your car to work is
also
not necessary anymore, because

the internet
show examples
makes it possible for some jobs that you can work 100% from
home
. I believe
this
is not good for our society that
people
can do everything from
home
because
people
start to care less about others.
Firstly
, shopping from
home
is bad for small businesses in the town. If there are not enough customers the local stores will close their doors and not come back.
This
results in unemployment and empty building but
also
the social aspect that goes with shopping in
person
is gone. For, example the old lady who goes to the store not only for groceries but
also
for small talk. The small talk can be with the
person
behind the counter or the customers in the store.
Secondly
, always working from
home
give the
person
no connection with the company. Going to your job and speaking to your colleagues in
person
makes the job more personal.
This
is important,
otherwise

people
are more willing to change easily from companies.
Thirdly
, always staying at
home
gives
people
no awareness of what is happing outside the house. If
people
do not participate in society
then
everyone becomes lonely and more selfish. To make a better world you need to do that together and staying at
home
is not an option. In conclusion, the arrival of the
internet
is very useful but can not be replaced by communication face to face. To keep society going
people
need to be there in
person
.
