People these days watch TV, films, and other programs alone rather than with other people. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

As

technology

continues to develop, life in

this

era becomes more convenient as

people

now rather spend their

time

on streaming services, and computers alone than spending

time

with their friends and family. From my perspective, despite the comfortable life that

technology

gives us, it still has a negative development on our lives. First of all, we cannot deny that thanks to

technology

we can have a comfortable life as today. With the development of computers, streaming services, and other programs were launched, and

people

now can have access to many things like movies and films to entertain themselves without the need to consult with others. Take Netflix and Amazon Prime as an example, these film streaming services remove geographical barriers and provide many features, that give the viewer a better, flexible experience to enjoy the movie by themselves.

However

, as society becomes too attached to their devices,

people

start to isolate themselves from other

people

and rather spend their

time

alone, looking at their phones, computers, etc.

This

change has weakened social ties among family members, friends, significant others, and society as a whole.

For instance

, in the past, a family usually gathered around and had their meal together or watched TV and told jokes about it, but now, with the invention of

technology

,

people

have started to spend their

time

more separately from others. Even when it comes to shopping,

people

just sit at home and look at their devices to order kinds of stuff.

This

is becoming less likely, as many

people

spend a disproportionate amount of

time

alone, limiting their exposure to different perspectives of view. In conclusion, the advantages that

technology

brings to us are undeniable, but the disadvantages still outweigh the benefits as it affects our lifestyle and communication.
