Many people think modern communication technocommunicationlogy is having some negative effects on social relationships. Do you agree or disagree ?

Modern

technology

has unpleasant effects on social relationships. I completely agree with

this

.

Firstly

, modern

technology

is making

people

less friendly to their neighbours.

For instance

, in the past to catch a bus or buy food one had to walk in the vicinity and the likelihood of meeting and having some form of interaction with the members living around was high.

However

,

technology

has made it

such

that, they are able to order a ride or meal in the comfort of the home and get these delivered without stepping out of their homes.

This

creates situations where

people

living in the same neighbourhood see one another just once annually.

Secondly

, social media has ripped

people

of genuine friendships. The majority of social media users keep themselves busy on various platforms engaging with strangers. They establish relationships with several

people

they are likely to never meet in their lives. Whilst being occupied with

such

virtual friends who are

also

busy with their own lives, they do not realize what they are missing until they are hit with an unfortunate life incident that requires physical support. It is

then

that they realize how lonely they actually are as human beings. Because

virtual support online can never be compared with being empathized with.

Finally

, family members are losing their bond

due to

technological advancement. A typical example is, that of my family and my sister's new family. When we were children, my siblings and I had times in the day when we gathered to complete our assignments

television shows after which we set out to play. But what I observe in my Sister's family and how her 3 children independently complete their homework using Google, prefer to play individual games on their devices rather than go out to do so together and

also

chat with their friends rather than sit and enjoy television programs together. It is clear from these the negative impacts

technology

is having on human social interaction.

To sum up

, I agree that social relationships are suffering because of modern

technology

and its negative effects on these aspects of our lives.
