At the dawn of the 20th century, Information technology radically changed the way humanity could communicate and exchange information. Before everyone used computers and smartphones,
people
communicated with one another using traditional methods
such
as letters, telegraphs, and telephones. Nowadays, when it comes to
communication
there are a plethora of tools at our disposal which can help us complete our tasks. It is stated that some
people
believed using modern
communication
technology can occured a negative impact on Social relationships.
However
, in my opinion,
While
I believe that using new
communication
devices can have some positive influence on social relationships, the negative impacts bring more outweighs its merits.
To begin
with,
communication
technology, especially internet
communication
like social networking
websites
and dating
websites
has created the path to the process of socializing.
Moreover
, Social networking
websites
enable
people
to easily keep in touch with family and friends,
whereas
dating
websites
help the community to find someone compatible to be in a relationship with. On the other, there are many negative effects generated by modern
communication
devices. Most
people
are in Social Isolation
due to
using a high volume of new
communication
methods
such
as Facebook, Instagram, and many more. Nowadays, most companies are using social networks online, but
this
can unexpectedly lead to Social Isolation. In some cases, many
people
are not close to the real world,
therefore
due to
less social interaction, it can lead to depression and feelings of loneliness.
For example
, Research has found that adults who describe themselves as lonely have doubled since society was involved with the modern
communication
system.
This
can directly have an effect on a human happiness level.
Furthermore
, implement of the new mechanism for
communication
is a huge threat to children's safety. At present, most of the younger generation and kids are studying through computers and, mainly they are more accessible to the internet. But
this
has exposed them to a number of risks including graphic sexual images, online bullying, particularly networking sites.
For instance
, UNICEF has announced that during the COVID-19 period
due to
the high percentage of computer usage among children, online abuse has increased by 20%.
To conclude
, even though new
communication
systems give us the opportunity to build the relationship over long distances and get in touch with the world,
however
, I agreed, there are many adverse effects that can be caused by not being close to the real world,
such
as mental issues and
also
risk for child safety.
