Progress in

 communication is changing our social style significantly and how we keep in touch with friends and family. Today, some
people
 argue that the

 is convenient but less valuable than face-to-face conversations. I agree with
this
 statement. On the one hand, relationships are something that cannot be replaced by online communications, the feeling, the tone, and the expressions are something that cannot be copied from the
internet
 conversation. Especially human beings are extremely sensitive creatures, we cannot survive alone and always desire the company of friends and family.

 occupies a large proportion of modern society, which means that face-to-face communication is no longer the common way for
people
 to keep in touch with others.
Also
, the
internet
 can create tons of problems and causes misunderstanding.

 are more likely to feel emotion and voice rather than send
