Many people are today utilizing the internet in order to meet new individuals and communicate. Several individuals argue that this has connected people. However, others suggest that people are becoming more disconnected. In my view, individuals are becoming more connected to each other due to some benefits of the internet rather than becoming isolated.
On the one hand, individuals who enjoy scrolling social media content excessively might be more isolated in the modern era, particularly young people since when they watch social media content in renowned social media apps, such as Instagram, they do not communicate with others. In other words, they are not capable of stopping to watch them. Moreover, the young are deluged with online games which leads children to become more isolated these days. That said, they used to do more outdoor activities with other children before digital era.
On the other hand, Applications, such as HelloTalk and Faceboook, allow individuals to meet new people as they are able to exchange their experiences with others so as to make new friends in these types of apps. For instance, people can meet new individuals and learn a new language in HelloTalk app. As a result, they may improve their communication and language skills using the internet. Furthermore, people are making numerous appointments through phone calls or video calls. Additionally, some individuals are making foreign friends who can help them suggest a solution to their issue or support with some financial aid.
In conclusion, although some social media users are becoming more isolated, I still uphold that people are connecting more because of some advantages of the internet instead of becoming isolated.
