In our school many students talk about how technology effects the way we communicate with each other. Some people think it is amazing because you can connect with others wherever they live. Others say that online friends are not real friends. In my view, both ideas are true and it depends on how we use technology.
Firstly, technology can help us stay close to people. For example, if your best friend moves to another city, you can still talk every day through messages or video calls. This makes people feel less lonely and it is easier to share news or ask for help. I think this is one of the best things about modern technology.
However, there is another side. Sometimes people spend too much time on their phones. They follow many people on social media, but they don’t really know them. These “friends” might like your photos but they may not support you in real life. Also, when we always look at our screens, we might ignore the people who are next to us.
To sum up, technology can improve our social life if we use it carefully. It can help us stay in touch, but we should not forget to spend time with real friends face to face. In the end, the best relationships are the ones we build in the real world.
