Some people say that instead of seeing the Internet as a way of opening up new communication possibilities world-wide, we should be concerned about the effect this is having on social interaction. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view
Nowadays, some believe that the
internet
provides an opportunity to communicate in various location locally and abroad, Correct your spelling
Internet
however
, it raises concerns as this
decreases people
's social interaction and limit physical socialization which is essential in building relationship. I would argue that this
is certainly true and I strongly agree with this
notion. In this
essay, I will discuss and give my opinion on this
view.
The innovation of our communication allows a person to save time
considering that they could spend more time
with their family and friends. Before modernization people
work inside offices for longer hours without having contact with their loved ones, but when everything become digitalized they can chat and video call using apps such
as Whatsapp, Viber, and Messenger during their free time
or when they wanted. While
I acknowledge the merit although
this
can be destructive behaviour in the office since many would use working hours for personal ones.
On the other hand
, the internet
could cause a debilitating effect on a person's social skills development. The wide use of this
limiting the face to face interaction and decrease physical socialization. Unlike years before the birth of the internet
, people
used to meet up and talk, and play around with their peers or other siblings. However
, all of these things changed when the internet
era started, personal communication become noticeably less. For instance
, instead
of talking with their friends in person,they will call using their mobile, chat and play with them online and share views and opinions through social messaging. Hence
, people
are too attached to their mobile and laptops, and screen time
has become more important than having personal conversations, thus
making them socially isolated.
In conclusion, I strongly agree that people
should be concerned about the negative effects of internet
on the people
's lives as this
can be a destructive force to break relationships between families and friends. While
acknowledging the benefits of it to our workforce and personal lives.Submitted by lsc_00000 on
