Nowadays some people believe that modern communication methods have a bad impact on our social relationships in society. I completely agree with this, but it also has both positive and negative effects depending on how people use it, because it depends only from the user.
If talk about the positive side, one advantage is that communicating with family or friends who are far away or in other countries becomes easy to do, now there are so many ways to keep in touch with people. For example, video calls allow families to share the moments with each other despite the distance between them. Also, modern technology can be useful for people who wants to make a new friends easily online without fear of socialization.
On the other hand, spending too much time online can reduce face to face communication. Many people prefer chatting every day instead of meeting with person in real life which can make relationships weaker. For instance, using only social media for communicating can grow apart people with each other and at the end they will lose touch at all. Additionally, person who got used to make a contact only by social media may feel lonely or disconnected from other people in real life, such as in school or at work.
In conclusion, although communication technology has made it easier to stay in touch, it can be also harm real life relationships. Therefore, people should use it wisely and balance online and offline communication.
