The Internet allows us to stay connected with each other no matter where we are. On the other hand, it also isolates us and encourages people not to socialise. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The
internet
gives us the opportunity to be in contact even though we live in different parts of the world.
Nevertheless
, it not only pushes
people
to stay isolated but
also
, could negatively influence
people
's behaviour related to socialization. Through
this
essay, I will explain how it happens.
In addition
, I will give my own opinion about it and why I agree with
this
statement.
Firstly
, thanks to the
internet
, it is possible to buy everything you need to survive directly from home.
This
utility discourages
people
to get outside their houses with the result that without noticing , they spend the entire day without talking with anybody.
For example
, getting outside only to buy some food could be a way to meet new
people
and make new friends.
Moreover
, the comfort of socialising through the
Internet
without moving from your own house could bring
people
to be lazy. Laziness often causes isolation and in some cases depression.
For instance
,
according to
some studies conducted during the Covid-19,
people
that worked remotely for a long period were more subject to be affected by depression. In conclusion, thanks to the
internet
it is possible to have a lot of commodities like ordering food or other staff directly from your place but at the same time, it could affect negatively the mindset of
people
and bring them to be lazy and sometimes depressed. In my opinion, we have to use
this
great instrument in a proper way, without be exaggerated in order to avoid these negative effects.
