Right now, technology is everywhere and it changes different aspects of our daily life. Some people argue that technology made life easier because they argue that technology made it easy for people from anywhere to connect. I agree with this point because thanks to messaging apps, video calls and so on, we can stay in touch with friends and family even if they are far away from us. It is also possible to meet new people from different countries.
However, technology also has its own problems. One of my classmates said that they had lots of friends online but they were not actually real friends. Online friendships can feel less meaningful and this can make us feel lonely, even when we have hundreds or thousands of followers. Real friendships require time, trust and face-to-face communication.
Another issue is that spending too much time on our phones can make us ignore the people around us. Many teenagers choose to chat online or play mobile games instead of going out, playing sports or talking with their loved ones. Technology can reduce the quality of our social lives if we are not careful.
In my view, technology is good when we can balance things out. Technology can help us stay connected, but we should not let it replace real-life friendships. If we use it carefully, it can make our social lives better.
