In recent years, digital communication has become a more common way for people to interact, alongside face-to-face conversations While some people argue this trend has a drawback, I believe the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages.
There are couple reasons why it brings benefits to the people. Firstly, digital communication helps people to stay connected across long distances. Physical distance is no longer a problem to having a conversation. Smartphones enable users to make videocall at anytime or anywhere. Secondly, this trend saves time. In the past, people sent letter using a mailman or even using a birds, which took days or weeks. Meanwhile, nowadays smartphone can send and receive messages instantly. This is especially useful for business and stay in touch with loved ones who live far away.
However, online communication does have some disadvantages. When people spend to much chatting or calling on their phones, they often ignore their surroundings, such as friends or family. They become careless to people who are physically present. For instance, a father who is always focused on work call may forget to pay attention to his family, even though they are right next to him. This shows digital communication can reduce real human connection
In conclusion, although communication via mobile phones and social media can make people less aware of their surroundings, i believe the advantages, such as saving time and enabling long distance connection make it a positive development overall
