✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
It can not be denied that technological advancements have brought a diverse range of possibilities in every aspect of life, and they can
also

 be seen in today’s online communication ways of individuals.
Although

 they made it easier to keep in touch with loved ones, I believe It is a negative development
due to
Linking Words
 a sense of
isolation

as well as

 blackmailing when sharing

 or

. One serious problem caused by online socializing is that It could lead to
isolation
Use synonyms
. In the past people would converse by meeting face-to-face in order to discuss their daily life
instead
Linking Words
 of using virtual communication. That’s why, having been in a social group which gave them more opportunities to share ideas and events that occurred during their personal lives, never had they felt isolated from society.
However
Linking Words
, today’s generation is utilizing social media platforms
such

 as Facebook,Instagram and Telegram without knowing the consequences which could pose the risk of
isolation
Use synonyms
 in the end. Another issue stemming from the use of virtual communication is blackmailing. What I mean by mentioning
that is
Linking Words
 that when users share their personal
photos
Use synonyms
 or

 with their close friends via Telegram or WhatsApp, there seems to be risk involved, as they might change in the long term and use that shared privacy against them when they turn into enemies or rivals later.
For example

, when couples have a relationship, they tend to share some intimate

 making them closer.
However

 publicly which may eventually cause some embarrassment.
Therefore

, using social media to talk to friends or whomever may bring some threat to the private lives of individuals. By way of conclusion, even though social media platforms tend to favour people in some ways, I believe problems they cause

 as

 and framing mean they have not brought positive developments on most occasions.
