People are becoming too dependent on the Internet and phone. Is it a positive or negative development?

#people #internet #phone #development
There is no doubt that technology has transformed our lives drastically.
such
 a change can be seen in many fields especially communications and networking,
for example
, with a click of a button you have information and daily news at your fingertips, yet,
this
 has made
people
 more and more reliant on their smartphones and the
internet
. in
this
 essay, I will discuss demerits and merits and explain why it has a negative impact on
people
. on the one hand, some
people
 argue that the
internet
 and cell phones made our lives much more convenient. to illustrate,
people
 can communicate instantly rather than travelling to far places in order to interact with one another.
for example
, 50 years ago,
people
 from Egypt had to travel from Cairo to Alexandria just to meet up and conduct their activities, but now with the commencement of 4G and 5G
people
 can now see each other through a webcam,
thus
, it's evident that travelling is no longer needed.
on the other hand
, it's indisputable that the
internet
 and cell phone have a negative impact on human health. to elaborate,
people
 spend more and more of their time glued to their phone screens and that could damage their eye retinas and cause early blindness and some cases illness. according to recent discoveries and research publications made at MIT University, it's said that one in 4 adults spent more than 6 hours a day looking at their phone which can lead to early blindness and
further
 health issues. In my opinion,
people
 should refrain from using the
internet
 and smartphones for long hours.
thus
 reducing their reliance on it and aiming for a healthier lifestyle.
