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.

Some people think that advanced
technology
has brought individuals together,
while
others state that it has separated us.
Although
the development of devices causes human
beings
to overlook others and has an effect on isolation, I believe that it combines us. On the one hand, the advancement of
technology
has had a certain impact on the separation of people and has attracted individuals to spend their
time
differently.
In other words
, it has led to men and women spending their
time
on social media rather than interacting with others;
therefore
, potentially dividing them.
For example
, it is increasingly common for human
beings
to use their mobile phones and spend
time
browsing social media
instead
of engaging in conversations with their friends during social gatherings.
However
, I consider that all these habits are dependent on personal choices rather than solely
technology
.
On the other hand
, today's advanced devices enable communities to get together wherever they are.
This
is to say that many online meeting platforms provide society with an opportunity to have a conversation together, even if they are in remote places from each other.
Consequently
,
technology
aids human
beings
in getting together in every situation.
For instance
, many people meet with foreign citizens to develop their language skills by connecting to these platforms,
such
as Skype.
Hence
, I believe that
technology
makes it easier to get together for communities. In conclusion, despite the development of smartphones and other devices that can have an impact on individuals' isolation, I do not believe that they are solely responsible for
this
isolation. In fact, they provide ample opportunities for human
beings
to connect and spend
time
together effectively.
