In this modern era, almost everyone has electronic device which facilitates communication, meanwhile, in the past, there was only one method for communication by letter or telephone. Many people argue that this is fascinating phenomenon because of its benefits. I believe that the advantages surpass the drawbacks.
On the one hand, this way of communication is vital due to its accessibility and convenience. Firstly, technology helps people especially in emergency or stressful situation where quick communication is important. For example, developers in Spain have shown that 79% of people were helped in emergency by using modern communication applications. Therefore, many international companies are working to enhance the quality of communication. Secondly, those who have relatives live in another countries can call them any time and anywhere, which causes people to be more connected. This way improves relationships between people and prevents misunderstanding. Statistics have shown that friendships are increasing significantly thanks to technology. Additionally, undergraduates communicate together to conduct research paper, prepare presentation and discuss assignments at home, which saves their time and effort. They have time to study or even enjoy themselves, as they do not have to meet after university to study together.
On the other hand, technology brings few disadvantages, such as social isolation that people must consider. One major disadvantage is that Technology reduces face-to-face interactions, since people can call anyone via technology. Unfortunately, this cause individuals feel lonely and isolated even if they talk with their friends online most of time. For instance, BBC news has illustrated that 89%of students at Oxford university developed depression due to lack of interactions. This shows the importance of social interaction to avoid psychological disorders. As a result, practitioners advise us to interact in person with others to protect ourselves from disorders like isolation.
In conclusion, Although the internet allows people to communicate together easily, it brings some downsides that we should consider. Moreover, people now can talk with their relatives regardless of their distant and study with their colleagues, which mitigates their stress. Technology also causes people to feel isolated due to lack of social interactions, whereas this can be tackled by using it carefully.
