Modern forms of communication such as email and messaging have reduced the amount of time people spend seeing their friends. This has a negative effect on their social lives. To what do you agree or disagree?

The amount of
time
people
 spend seeing their
friends
 has diminished. The main cause is that modern forms of
communication
such
 as WhatsApp, telegram and other
communication
 apps.
This
 has a detrimental effect on social lives. In my view, I agree that the
time
people
 spend seeing their
friends
 is essential, albeit life requirements can be caused to separate
people
 from their
friends
. One of the major reasons, the
time
people
 spend seeing their
friends
 is essential is that it helps each other.
For example
, I need to repair some of the places in my home, which alone I can not do
it
Correct pronoun usage
apply
show examples
.
Although
 I can call my friend to come to help me in
this
 situation. We can do it very fast and obviously. If my friend had been far away I could not repair it on my own. I need to find some builder for reparation, which it takes more
time
 to fund and I should pay him for reparation. Another example is that at the weekend they can spend their
time
 happily, like organising some parties or going to the cinema.
Nevertheless
, modern forms of
communication
such
 as email and messaging play an equally important role between
people
 and their
friends
.
For instance
,
people
 prefer to spend
time
 with
friends
 or have a home near their
friends
, albeit the main cause of being distance between
people
 is distance and their
friends
 is a life requirement. In
this
 situation, modern forms of
communication
 like email and messaging play an equally important role.
People
 can use
this
 type of
communication
 and obviously be aware of the circumstances of their
friends
.
However
, in my childhood, I had a good friend and we spent a lot of
time
 with each other,
although
 they relocated their home far away. There are for that we did not use modern
communication
, to
this
time
 we are not in contact. In conclusion,
while
 I agree that
people
 spend their
time
 on face-to-face chat is an essential part of
people
's relationships, I firmly assert that using modern ways of
communication
 is remarkably important for those who lack
time
 to meet.

There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.
