internet

has facilitated different aspects of our life. we can conveniently enrol in online courses in a university across the world and boost our knowledge without many troubles.

Internet

, increasing remote work and declining traffic congestion.

due to

globalization, many people are living distantly from their family and friends. the utilization of the

Internet

, mankind is a sociable creature

hence

, a lack of face-to-face communication will gradually decrease our closeness, cordiality, and interpersonal skills, leading to depression and a sense of isolation. As an example, we can see that students living in dormitories constantly keep in touch with their beloved ones through the

Internet
