Nowadays, electronic media has become more and more popular around the world. Some people think that the use of electronic media has negative effects on personal relationships between people. I completely agree with this viewpoint, but it also bring people some positive effects.
As everyone knows, social network have many negative effects. So, why electronic media has negative effect? First, it makes people less face to face communication. When people spend more time on phones, this leads us to reduce deep and meaningful conversations. For example, families may be having meals, or outings meet friends, but everyone is scrolling. Moreover, one of the most obvious problems is constant distraction and lack of attention, especially teenagers. Messages and notifications interrupt real-life interactions. For instance, in a conversation with friends, people often tend to check their phones.
Besides the harmful effects, electronic media also has many benefits in life. First, not to mention is staying connected across distances. People working abroad can talk with family daily via video calls. In particular, Vietnamese students overseas maintain closeness with parents and friends through apps such as Zalo, Facebook, Instagram, etc. In addition, groups of friends or family on the Internet coordinate activities quickly via messenger groups like during recent storms and floods, electronic media helped people share information and receive support more quickly.
In conclusion, I support the idea that everything has two sides, and electronic media without exception. It brings many benefits and also has negative impacts on our lives. Therefore, it is important for users to have a balanced approach in order to avoid the negative effects of its use.
