Writing 4

A lot of people say about the effects of technology and communication.
Do you agree or disagree?

           It is true,that technology in recent years has altered the path that people communicate with each other. There are many ways that technology affects our relationships, and in my opinion, this is a beneficial development.Technology such as email, Facebook, Twitter, My Space, YouTube, Instagram and many other sites are all amazing tools that have the intent to bring inter-connectedness around the world. Everything has two sides, and the ‘effects of technology on people’s relationship’ is not an exception.

            In ancient times, people used letters and telegrams to interact with each other. With the advent of modern communication systems like telephone and the Internet, people can collaborate more effectively. To begin with, the most obvious transformation in people relationships is how they communicate with each other. By this, I mean that the Internet has converted the world into a small village and nowadays people around the world can reach each other easily and rapidly. For example, a friend who lives in the UK can chat and talk with their friends in china using a mobile phone or social network and we can interact through emails rather than letter and businessman can have online meetings through the conference calls.

            On the other hand, many people believe that technological aspects are affecting individual relationship badly. They opine that, if we did not have these kinds of technology, we would have been visiting each other regularly.
            Not only that, but individuals will not be isolated from each other, especially those who are addicted to using social networking platforms.  As a matter of fact, people become talking to each other in face-to-face method rarely. In particular, people’s personalities are changing so much, because of addiction in using Facebook. It’s one of the vital reasons to decrease confidence and self-esteem.
               Everything has two sides of advantage and disadvantage.In many positive ways, the technology has affected the relationships between people and I would say these are positive developments. Imagine without technology, what would happen to the people and the world. In many ways, we are getting the help of using technology. 
              After all, in my viewpoint, humankind can eventually address this issue in favour of his civilisation. Hence, I assume it as a mainly positive development in the long run.
