People increasingly rely on digital technology in their daily lives. Some people believe that modern technology, such as the internet and smartphones, has made people more sociable, while others think that it has made people isolated.
On the one hand, technology and the internet make it easier for people to access information and communicate with others from different countries. Also, that has made it easier to make new friends and overcome language and cultural barriers. For example, technology allows students to learn new languages through different platforms and also communicate with people from different backgrounds. As a result, they improve their communication skills, emotional intelligence, build confidence, and become more sociable.
On the other hand, technology encourages people to work online jobs; this trend has made them less sociable. This current generation of teenagers prefers playing video games to doing sports such as basketball and handball. Also, they prefer online communication through social media applications like Instagram and Snapchat rather than physical meetings, which is more effective.
In conclusion, technology should support human activities rather than replace every form of face-to-face information.
