There is a belief which says usage of technology in daily life has made people more social while some think that technology has made people isolated and less social. It seems that technology has helped people to be more social. Bothe views will be discussed in the following paragraphs.
To begin with, the growth of social media and the widespread usage of different applications such as Facebook have affected the way people make friends nowadays. They can easily find new friends with same interest via social media network. To illustrate this, people can find new friends who have the same hobbies via internet and obviously, this has caused people to have more friends and be more social. Furthermore, technology has eased the process of communication since it enables people to simply keep in touch with their friends via internet. People can send messages to their friends and family all over the word using message based applications like Whatsapp. For instance, without technology people may not talk to their friends regularly and they also barley can visit each other since they are all busy. With the help of technology, people have the chance to constantly talk and message to their relatives and buddies and be active in their social life.
However, some have the idea that the widespread usage of technology in daily life has made people isolated. People often prefer to spend their time on the internet and visit different websites such as YouTube instead of spending some quality time with their family. For example, teenagers prefer to stay at their room and spend their time on the internet using their smart devices instead of attending a family reunion. Thus, people used to speak with each other in public places but nowadays with the presence of the internet everywhere they tend to use their smartphone instead of starting a conversation with other people. This has result in less social people in society. For instance, people who spend evenings in a cozy café used to speak to each other about different things but nowadays they prefer to use their smartphone instead.
To sum up, many people including me think that technology has a direct impact on social life of people and it has helped people to use it for communicating. Some have the idea that the usage of technology in everyday life has made people more isolated and less social.
