Many believe that modern technology has brought people together, but others say that it has driven us apart. Discuss both viewpoints and give your own opinion.

#technology #people #viewpoints
Technological progress is becoming widespread and influencing our personal lives.
While
 some
people
 believe that it makes the relationship between individuals worse, because of altering the entity of personal
interaction
, making it less emotional, others think that it is a benefit
due to
 the convenience of modern technology and the opportunity to keep in touch with others all over the world. I believe that
this
 development is positive. With the development of technology, social media has become one of the most popular apps for interacting with society online. Now it is enough to have a phone and Internet access in order to talk with your friends and family, which are far away from you.
Thus
,
this
 factor has brought
people
 together, because the distance between individuals is not an impediment anymore to staying in touch and keeping close relationships.
For example
, a lot of
people
 use video calls,
while
 they are far away from their relatives. to see a family and maintain good
interaction
 between them.
On the other hand
, social media is really addictive, and a large number of
people
 are becoming regular users of these apps and trying to replace face-to-face communication, which leads to social isolation. So, these factors result in the absence of real emotions and the lack of deep feelings when
people
 interact with each other.
As a result
, it makes society incapable of maintaining a real
interaction
 and the relationship becomes shallow and dry.
To sum up
, the influence of modern technologies could be negative, if
people
 use them in the wrong way and try to replace real communication.I strongly believe that despite that it is extremely useful when it comes to
interaction
 between
people
 all over the world.
