Debates have been held on the issue of internet usage through communication. Some say it has changed the way we communicate in a positive way and also in a negative way using different social media platforms. In my view, internet is the in thing nowadays, as it paves way for interaction of people from different countries. This essay will discuss the above views and reach to a conclusion.
First and foremost, internet is the greatest technology that can make it easier for people to communicate around the globe. The internet is used for many things, such as job hunting, reading novels, social interactions. Some of the positives of internet are that it is a fast way to communicate with people, it is convenient and also it keeps you in touch with everyone globally. For instances, when using social media platform (Facebook), one gets to connect with friends and family leaving thousand miles away without any barriers or disturbances.
On the other hand, this greatest technology can also be of negative effect to people’s lives. We understand that one can work from home, using a computer or laptop thereby, making them isolated from people for a long time. It affects social interactions amongst individuals, and many people may tend to develop ignorant tendencies; that is instead of responding one may just choose to ignore or avoid answering questions. Adding on, the internet may cause health problems, one person can be busy such that even eating will not be an option, unlike working from an office, when others eat or drink one may also have the edge of getting along with others.
In a nutshell, internet has really brought in many changes with positive and negative effects on people’s lives. I strongly believe that it is the most convenient technology that is precious in today’s era. Individuals should just monitor their behavior patterns to avoid the build-up of negative effects.
