In this essay I will highlight both views and provide my own opinion.
Nowadays, modern technologies have strong influence to every individual’s life helping people to communicate effectively, be closer to each other, stay connected despite of the distance. Many think that this is a positive aspect, because it allows friends or families who live in different countries or on a long distance to stay connected at any time. For example, in the past people used to have just public telephones and could speak with their families or friends quite seldom, compared to the current time according to modern technologies, when every person have own mobile phone and can be available in any time.
On the other hand, others believe that new technologies bring some sort of negative impact, because people spend more time scrolling their phones, even if they are outside of home with friends.Such behaviour is very dangerous as people replace real life communication with online. For example, when friends meet in the restaurant, some of them can ignore face to face communication and hovers in their phone.
In conclusion, modern technologies help people to be closer despite of the distance and do not lose important relationship. In my opinion, online applications, such as Skype and zoom, brought people together, because it is easiest way to maintain a good relationship and find a new friends.
