In an era where individuals are constantly glued to their phones, the connection among people started to be distant. I believe this phenomenon will be alleviated if we diminish the online activity to alleviate misinterpretations, and promote active participation in online platforms.
Many individuals has the experience where the meetings or classes were be held online even after the pandemic, which lead to the lessen interactions with people and sometimes the interpersonal relationship got worse when the misunderstanding of informations and emotions occur. One of the solution to mitigate the negative effects of online meetings is to strike a balance between online and offline interactions. To avoid misunderstandings in meetings, individuals should learn to share information in a clear and concise langauge and encouraging everyone to point out problems, ask for clarification immediately, encour active participation, and genuine engagement. The advantages of technology have weakend interpersonal connections among people. Individuals spend more time chatting online, playing mobile games and watching short films. Fewer and fewer people would set aside the phone and show care for the people around them. Thai issue can be reduced by implementing “no digital devices” policy both in workplaces and schools that forbid the use of any personal gadgets, accompanied by panelties for breaking rules. By adhering to the regulation, people would have a better connections with others due to the fact that the use of electronic devices are strictly forbidden. Individuals would have more interactions as they chat ti each other more frequently and share their thoughts. Furthermore, they wouldn’t be distracted due to the notifications, hence, they could participate more face-to-face conversations.
In conclusion, the technologies brings negative impact in our interpersonal relationship and the engagemet in society. These problem would be more serious if we never take action. The convenience offered by technology can lead individuals rely on it excessively, where the engagement in real-world social interaction diminished, shallowing conversations with one another.
