    Nowadays, every person seems to be addicted to their mobile phones. Hence, this lead to believe for few people that technology is driving individuals away from socializing. This essay agrees with statement as to some extent technology has its pros as well as cons.

    To commence with, devices like mobile phones are blessing in disguise. They have helped people connect others and strengthened their relationship as their able to communicate with anybody living far away. By this human beings have become more socially active. For example, in the olden times, communication was done through letters or in person but due to innovation the process of interaction is easier by just one click away and a message is sent. Moreover, social application like WhatsApp has enabled sending of videos, pictures, documents, etc. and by this people have become socially interactive with others.

    On the other hand, technological devices have its demerits for excess usage, which make people less social as they tend to have more of virtual relationship than real life relationship. Lately, People having been spending more time on their mobile phones and less time with their family and friends. For instance, earlier people used to gather around spend quality time together by discussing about their life status but now people are more likely to be involved in their phones and interact less. Hence, due to this reason individuals are becoming socially disabled and isolating themselves.

    In conclusion, technology has been of great help but when used excessively it has showed detrimental effects to mankind. Hence, it is up to people how to wisely they utilise technological inventions for socialization.

    The modern innovations had witnessed dramatic changes in the last few decades. Among, such inventions are the smartphones. Few people argue that these technologies are making humankind less socially available for one another. It may seem that cell phones connect people together, but the fact is, they do not.The essay will examine the reasons for the following opinion.

    Firstly, mobile phones made most people introverts from extroverts. Many people fear from real life conversations because they do quite few, conversations can only be seen happening with the family members in some cases. However, when there is some random person people often get nervous. One such example is fear of public speaking in people nowadays. In general, mobile devices have affected the conversational skills in humans by a large factor.

    Secondly, these modern devices have made people disconnected from the reality. Since the introduction of devices till present, the apps started flooding the market and mankind found it so much amazing that they are hooked to the virtual world. For instance, addictive gaming in phones have severely affected young children. Furthermore, entertainments applications in smart devices like netflix, prime video devised certain algorithms for personalisation that if a person starts watching any movies or tv series they are hooked to it and will converse less with anybody. Hence, lost into the virtual world far away from the real world.

    To conclude, mobile devices have hampered the people conversational skills, relationships and made them less readily available for one another. Altogether, losing the human touch.
