also

the drawbacks.

Hence

To begin

with, thanks to cutting-edge technologies, including the internet itself and some online communication tools, the efficiency in our daily lives has been significantly enhanced in recent years.

For instance

For example

last

decade. Certainly, even in my case, I sometimes encounter loneliness and depression, if I keep talking with others only through my screen. But, when I face those situations, I always try to mitigate those negative emotions by going outside or visiting my campus, and, in fact, I have succeeded in overcoming those situations.

This

means that even though there are obvious

disadvantages

arising from

this

trend

Use synonyms

, there are numerous possible solutions, and those solutions are not too difficult to implement.

Thus

, it can be predicted that

people

new environment and

consequently

enjoy the

in the future. In conclusion,

whereas

there are some explicit

disadvantages

,

such

as the increase in suicide rate, so far, we can overcome those difficulties and utilize the advantages of online communications.

For
