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.

In

this

technological era, many technological advancements have tremendously helped humans in various sectors,

one

of which is

communication

.

While

many

people

argue that

technologies

are effective in uniting

people

, I side with those who feel that novel

technologies

have made us far from

one

another. On the

one

hand, new

communication

technologies

have many benefits, they can connect

people

wherever they are, no matter how far the distance is by simply making a call or even a video call on their own gadgets.

Furthermore

, it not only maintains our relationships with

people

we already know but

also

makes new connections with new friends from various types of social media on the internet

such

as Facebook, Instagram, X, and more.

Moreover

, it can connect jobhunters with employers too by using LinkedIn.

Thus

, making it easy to maintain our relationships with our loved ones, make new connections, or even search for job opportunities.

On the other hand

, novel

communication

technologies

can have various drawbacks too,

such

as isolation. In

this

modern era, jobs becoming more and more varied, and do not require employees' presence in the office. Take Software Engineer

for example

,

this

profession does not require a certain place as an office, they can even do their job whenever they want without being tied to any company as a freelancer.

This

condition benefits them to work in various companies around the world, so they can earn money whenever and wherever they want.

Moreover

, technology has changed our shopping habits these days, by providing

home

services and delivery orders, we can easily do shopping from

home

and wait until it is delivered to us.

As a result

, many individuals prefer to stay at

home

and refuse to meet

people

in person when it comes to a certain meeting schedule and prefer to do it at

home

as

technologies

make it easier to create an online meeting. They might become dependent on their gadgets for doing any activities that can be done online which leads to isolation. In conclusion,

although

new

communication

technologies

have provided us with many benefits to connect with our relatives and colleagues,

this

situation might lead us to a condition where we isolate ourselves from the outer world as many activities can be done remotely from

home

.

Thus

, I remain firmly convinced that

technologies

have set us apart from

one

another.
