Few people argue that recent technology made individuals more social. I totally agree with them for several reasons that I will explain in the following paragraphs.

To begin with, technology helped community members to connect with other members through its different platforms. For example, the new chat applications such as whatsapp lead their users to communicate with their relatives and friends easily with a single click or voice messages. Moreover, the reduced fees or almost free softwares gave the low income persons the chance to be exposed to the recent events and news that occur in the area around them. For instance, Twitter application is offered for free for all users and you only need to create a user account in order to use it. As a result, all users can express their opinions and feelings towards any event that is posted on this platform.

On the other hand, nowadays, people who are not involved in at least one social platform are considered antisocial. To elaborate, persons who don’t have a facebook account these days tend to be left behind as their friends won’t be able to communicate with them about their life updates and their milestones. Furthermore, when individuals are avoiding to use the new technology, they are at risk of being lonely and isolated from the rest of their community. An example for that, the latest news are now live-streamed via the different social platforms including the political and environmental news and if people are not following these channels, they will be left behind and feel that they are isolated from the fast changing world around them.

In conclusion, I believe that technology is essential in order to advance in our lives and certainly it helps us to be more social.

Human connection plays an imperative part in one’s well-being. Few debate that people nowadays are very social with one another because of the networks created by technology. Though I recognise the influence and dependency created by technology, I can’t accept this statement completely. In this essay we will see how being social like the old way has more added benefits than the one offered by modern technology.

One can agree that Computer, Internet, Mobile phones and social networks have made our life easier in unthinkable ways but they have also complicated our lives. Particularly, the social skill of next generation is affected because of over exposure to these devices. People nowadays are spending more time in social media than with their parents and friends. Social gatherings were replaced by meeting apps while family reunions were substituted by family mobile chat groups. Result in living a sedentary, unhealthy life style leading to depressions, anxiety disorders and suicidal thoughts.

Social skills are so important that should be nurtured in the children by encouraging them to participate in outdoor activities instead of playing online video games. Study shows that children engaging outdoors sports have performed well in their academics. Similarly, people spending quality time with their family and friends, have demonstrated increased productivity in their work life and agreed that they are happier and healthier. However, all these offering by physical social life can’t be replaced by the virtual world created by technology.

To summarise, though services offered by technologies are irreplaceable, basic social skills like communication, conflict resolution and listening skills can’t be developed only though them. Going out and meeting people is the best way to learn and practice such skills.

We are living in a world driven by technology. The advancement of technology has played an important role in the development of human civilization. Few people believe that technology is responsible for making them more social. I disagree with this view because I believe that begin social does not mean that sharing you feeling through comments and liking once status on the digital platform rather it is about caring and sharing personally with people around.

Firstly, Technology has reduced the effort and time, and increased the efficiency of the production requirement in every field. It has made our life easy, comfortable, and enjoyable. Moreover, technology has made people live in the virtual world. They do not care about the people around them. Social media apps like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. are making people craving for likes and shares. These social media apps making people less close to their families. Even when attending a family function or meeting, people are busy browsing social media accounts thus failing to give attention to the people around them.

Secondly, the advancement of technology has made people more interested in online life. However, it made people forget about face-to-face interactions. A recent study shows that youngsters are more addicted to social media and spend a lot of time on it thus becoming less social in real life. Most of them even do not know people who live next door. Social media makes people fake. For example, before the advancement of technology people share happiness, sadness, pain with their friends or family members. Nowadays they are posting on social media and asking for likes and shares.

To conclude, I believe technology failed to make people social. Technology made people so busy in digital world that they forget about the real people around them.

In 21st century the daily life of man is heavily dependent upon technology and Internet. Just like the industrial revolution of 18th century Internet boom of 21st century has changed the world top to bottom. So do Internet or technology has made man more social? Before answering that we have to understand what does being social actually means.

Socialising means the way man interacts with the primary elements of society (which is people ). In our modern society these interactions can be of 2 types through digital platforms and by direct verbal or physical interaction.

So when we look back in time before internet and social media platforms; we used to interact with a few people relatively but there was more communication and contact with them. In old days it was almost impossible to find a childhood friend or crush we had ,it was uncommon to fall in love with a person living in another country , to be lectured by world class intellectuals in a rural area was just a dream. Today all these things are quite common and possibilities of Internet is indescribable.

So what has changed in time? The direct interaction with the people near to us has reduced enormously ,We become people with thousands of online friends but not even one in real life. Many of us drifted to sedentary lackadaisical life.

Thus in conclusion technology has made a man a global citizen and more social albeit just like everything else in the world we paid the toll for that in the form of significantly reduced face to face interaction and human connection.

[Prathima]

Technological advancements have helped in creating easy connectivity across the globe. There is an opinion among a few that this development has made individuals more social. I partially disagree to this viewpoint, because can also also lead to many mental health issues and reduced face-to-face interactions; even though it helps to contact any person in the world instantly.

To begin with, ease of networking with use of modern amenities like social media platforms via the internet has undoubtedly brought people closer in spite of the physical distance among them. Particularly, it is a boon to many people staying far away from families or overseas as they are able to stay in touch with them regularly and even see them through video calls. It has also helped people in maintaining social connections especially considering the current pandemic situation. Many platforms like twitter, facebook, instagram have helped people to find their long-lost friends or distant family members which would otherwise have been impossible.

However, the increased dependence on these new age technologies is affecting many persons, mostly the youth negatively by causing mental health disorders like anxiety, depression and reduced interpersonal communications. The dependence and validity they seek in the virtual world can be addictive, as a consequence of which young generation may develop behavioral disorders which are already being witnessed. Also, the fun and energy gained by meeting with loved ones directly can never be compared to interacting with them online.

In conclusion, although the latest innovations are a gift to mankind, which helps to bring people together socially, unchecked use of these can have deleterious effects on the society.

Technology is a digital resource, which makes men develop communication skills. Few individuals strongly on this point and I completely agree with this. This essay will look into the positive aspects with suitable instances.

To begin with, Social networking sites are paramount on the internet. Moreover, these are very useful and helps people to communicate in a distant way. Mankind can socialize with each other from different cities or even different countries. They can spend hours on phone. It can be made people communicate no matter under any circumstances. Although there are multiple social networking sites that are in trend. One can find their old friends and can make new friends without any hesitation. For instance, This will helps to boost self-esteem for the individuals who are feeling low to communicate with others directly. It usually aids people to mitigate their insecurity and anxiety.

on the one hand, people are dependent on their smartphones and they do not even start their day without opening their networks. This addiction usually causes dire consequences for mental illness because it is very tiring and people become procrastinators. This addiction will lead to anxiety, stress, depression. Furthermore, men do not face human beings always prefer to be on phone. If one should use the internet with certain limits and control on it definitely overcome all these problems.

In conclusion, Social networking sites are most popular to improve profiles and aids to overcome fear in making contact. However, this all should happen when men reign technology.

Few people argue that modern technology has enhanced and improved peoples social lives. I strongly believe that people are advent to modern technology and connecting freely and easily with no geographical barriers. This essay will explain several benefits offered by modern technology. However social media has it’s own positive and negative effects unless it is used in a proper way .

On the one hand technology and social media has connected people globally . Use of various social networking sites such as Facebook , WhatsApp messaging ,video calling has provided way to converse with people from distant locations all over the world . Meanwhile technology has made humans more social. For instance, the ongoing global pandemic of corona virus disease , this out break has affected different people in many ways. Ever since the lockdown started everyone got isolated . although people are spending quality time together with their family members, in light of sophisticated modern technology many adapted to work online, children were doing home schooling .Furthermore online meetings by businessmen using zoom and Ms teams are being held , and ordering the needful through online stores , e shopping , and many more .

On the other hand, people think that because of social media our way of life has changed. The invention of such technology has effected the youngsters more by its addictive nature, where they spend their quality time on social media and are isolated from the society . The ferocity of the modern technology can negatively impact the moral development of a youngster , for instance crime level has increased over the decades .

To conclude although modern technology has some negative effects but I believe that the benefits associated with it are immense.

It is often an arguable topic that technology has made people more social or it is suppressing the human behavior of interacting face to face. I completely agree with the fact that technology has made people’s life much easier in a way by connecting them seamlessly.This essay will focus on the same that how technology in the 21st century has opened the barrier of socialization irrespective of the geographical location.

first of all, due to the development of many social platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat etc, connecting with dear once is one flick a finger away .

In this fast-paced 21st century ,imagining socialization without technology is next to impossible due to hectic professional life socializing become more strenuous and give’s birth to an introverted behavior

for example, in a recent study, It was found that people working in MNCs and other pressurizing work cultures have lesser work-life balance and this directly affects their social life and leads to a more introverted lifestyle hence without online social platforms however technology has transformed the way we socialize and gave an altogether new direction to the social behavior of humans.

secondly, technology has not just given an easier way to connect people but also helped socialize for good deeds as seen in this pandemic time where platforms like instagram and facebook played a key role to spread awareness.

for example , it was almost impossible for our government to spread awareness from procuring medicine to finding a suitable hospital for covid-19 however it has to be used carefully as a lot of misinformation gets spread through these platforms.

in conclusion, with more and more people joining these social platforms technology has entered in every human’s life-style and completed depreciated the geographical barrier of socialization and leads to a more connected lifestyle across the world.

It’s a hot burning topic of today’s world where we’ve numerous of gadgets & technologies emerging in the market that’s going to help the people to socialize easily with friends, colleagues & relatives.

I agree to this notion up to certain extent that social media platforms are playing crucial role in creation of social groups over the virtual environment but there’s always another side of a coin where the people who are older & not techno savvy, those are filtered out from the world of advancement of technologies.

I’d like to put light on the both aspects where new generation are crazy in adapting the addictive sophisticated modern technologies as those are turning out to be the advantageous options for the people living far from their places & on the contrary old generations are struggling to match the pace by trying hard to learn those subtle technologies.

Obviously, the students & professionals who have been living abroad away from their families could connect freely & easily with their families with no geographical barriers that’s generates the feeling of proximity & closeness in them which prevent to feel out of the loop & definitely boost the confidence in them. This is the vital reason why popularity of the social media sites will continue to flourish day by day.On the contrary, Youth of our country has been so busy now a days that they’re hardly finding time for their own families therefore taking out time to meet personally with anyone would become overburden in that case these technologies are like a blessing in disguise.

Subsequently, Old generation has a rational issue in adaption of new technologies therefore they are feeling like a quaint or left over in the society. Although, they have a will to admit it but the learning process is hindrance to them. This scenario doesn’t applicable for all old people, as most of their children are working or studying abroad therefore, if they wouldn’t have acquired the new competencies then it would be difficult for them to chat or connect with them therefore, they’ve learnt to use the social media quickly.

Of course, I advocate the fact that the transformation of the world would only be possible once every generation of our society start accepting inevitable technologies which makes the life easy & comfortable in a long run.

With the increasing publicity of social sites, it has been noticed that the behavior of the humans has been changing drastically as they are likely to live in a shell,less likely to enjoy with their families & utmost started felling irritated on tiny things,where no one could ever sense the intrinsic condition of their inner self. They want to be happy in their virtual environment & start taking their real relationships into granted.

There are the platforms where you can make virtual friends around the world to whom you are not familiar with. People start considering them their real buddies but that’s not the case. They are being paid for their jobs & don’t have any emotions or sympathy for your friendships. Eventually, People get trapped into these scam & devastated themselves. Moreover, these situations can lead to mental illness where people couldn’t able to accept the reality of the scam & last you in depressing.Instead of finding friends around the world over the sites, we should rely our family & friends & open our heart to them,they would definitely understand & support you if you would be in trouble emotionally.

Importantly, from the above facts it has been explicitly noticed that it’s overwhelming to have advancement in technologies to facilitates our lives by breaking several barriers in terms of virtual meetings, discussions, educations, ideas & many other useful resources with a single click whereas we have to be extra conscious while using it,as it would have adverse effect in your life if you had mishandled it.

Now, It has been trending discussion that few people believe that they are being more social with use of technologies than they were before. Indeed, the technology has made his footprint to human’s social aspect too and in its fascinating way. Moreover, it has ensuring the advancement of people’s social life not just left behind with development of industries, education, and healthcare system Etc.

Technology has changed the perception of social engagement through the social networking sites, video conferencing platform or other messenger applications and therefore, there are lots of sites and applications are being floated around us which are a just one click away and you can reach out to thousands of people. The prime motive of these technologies is to make us socially connected, share our achievements, our feelings, memories with society, friends and colleagues. However, it seems that people have not been using the purpose for which it has been setup and losing their precious time on just roaming over the different platforms, following and chatting with aimless groups.

Although, we have experienced a lots example of humanity which just came across through help of these social networking sites for instance, A family based out in Gujarat was able to raise a whopping amount of 100 Million public fund for his son’s medical treatment and which was arranged in just unbelievable one month time which couldn’t funded via other sources.

Another example of prudently used of these online platform by public is that during the 2^nd wave of COVID in India, youngster had created many voluntaries groups on social media platform to facilitate common public by sharing the availability details of bed, Medicine, oxygen concentrator ]availability

To summing up, I am completely agreed that people are being more engaged socially with the help of technologies.

[Maninder]

Around the globe today, there are numerous ways to remain socially active. Technology also plays a vital role in making the human being socially active. Some people believe that technology has made man more social, however, some are not in the agreement with this statement. I strongly agree that technology has provided multiple platforms due to which man has become more socially active.

In the current era of digitalization, technology has provided many platforms for social gathering. It has enabled the networking between two peoples living the different parts of the globe. Also, people using this technology-enabled platform can post their interest, daily routine and their goals in the life. People usually try to connect with the person having similar interests and a common goal. For Eg. There is a survey published in the economic Times newspaper which provides that more than 50 % of the world population is connected to the social media platform.

Furthermore, technology has also enabled professionals to find other professionals of similar interests. It also helps them in recruiting qualified people based on their skill-set mentioned in social networking websites. For- Eg Linkedin is used for professional information exchange, social networking and as a recruitment marketplace.

To conclude, I stronlgy believe that technology has made man more socially active as the social platform can be used from anywhere at a single clieck.
