There are contrary views among people on the impact of modern technology. Many of them think it has brought people closer: others have opposite opinions. I think both viewpoints are valid; however, it is bringing people closer and reducing the distances through social media and streaming applications.
A wide proportion of people consider, internet and other technological advancements as a waste of time, because younger generation is spending hours on their mobiles and laptops. According to them, the trend has negative impact on the life of a person. These are mostly older people, who have not used these devices throughout their lives, and only think about the negative impacts of these services. Infact, they are right in to some extent because their children are not spending enough time with them; however, from a global view this thinking is not quite acceptable.
The remaining majority of the public is fully aware of the positive impacts of social services and streaming applications. According to them, it has opened ways to communicate with friends and family, anywhere in the world. For instance, we can share different photos and videos of our daily life on these apps to stay updated. Social media stories and statuses also serves the same.
From my point of view, the latter viewpoint is more valid, because social apps are getting popular and majority of the public is using them in an effective way. Moreover, we have the access to the news around the globe in our pockets. For example, on YouTube there are thousands of videos on latest topics, which can be used for understanding the world.
In conclusion, although these devices are shrinking the distances, but many individuals don’t know what’s happening at their homes. Therefore, these services can be used effectively to get the desired results.
