#believet #hat #technology #people #viewpoints
It is often argued that
due to
 high-tech
technology
, the world has become a single home.
While
 some people held that
this
 has disconnected connection between them.
This
 essay will discuss both these points of view and argue in favour of the latter.
Firstly
, the majority of the population has internet access and
also
 owns the latest handheld devices
such
 as mobiles, tablets, laptops,etc.
Consequently
, they can have a conversation or a connection with anyone at any time.
Technology
 has made human life more convenient than ever before.
For instance
, we can connect with our friends and families from our phones and maintain better relationships with our dearest ones.
Also
, important meetings are possible through video Conferences.
In other words
, the employer and employee can conduct their special meetings from different locations.
Thus
, the distance is near no matter which corner of the world we live in.
On the other hand
, more and more individuals have cell phones, tablets and other electronic gadgets.
In addition
, they tend to spend most of their time using social media networks
such
 as Facebook, Instagram,Tiktok, Youtube, Twitter, Snapchat, etc.
Therefore
, they barely have a moment to go outside and enjoy their leisure hour with others because most of the hour they are busy using their phones.
For example
, in the past when the children had no internet service and devices,they were more social and used to play physical games.
Consequently
, they were outgoing and physically fit but these days they are less likely to participate in sports often uses social media and become obese victim. In my opinion,cutting-edge
technology
 has become a part of human beings and has worked as a bridge in people's life.
Therefore
, they should be wise and give time to themselves and realize its drawbacks. In conclusion, advancement in
technology
 brings us together and has made us feel a better place to be.
However
, it has major disadvantages which we must be careful of.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
