People are losing the value of face-to-face communication.

What impact (positive or negative) might this have on human

relationships?
A recent study has shown that a majority of population more rarely
communicate with other people face-to-face. The age of technology
has influenced us so much, that most people do not even imagine their
lives without social media and the internet, so it is no wonder why so
many people are more likely to interact with others remotely.
However, is that interaction really a problem?
Many people believe, that having a social interactions on internet can
be advantageous for many reasons. First of all, by using social
websites for comunication people not only do tend to establish new
relationships with acquaintances, but also maintain close relationships
with friends or family that lives far away. Consequently, people stay
closer because they have the opportunity to communicate more often.
Furthermore, using technologies for communnication has given an
opportunity for those, who are unable to connect with people and
work or study due to some circumstances such as self isolation in
pandemics or health problems. As a result, technologies allow people
from all over the world to connect, meet, learn, and grow together
over a digital medium in any occurrence.
Nevertheless, others suggest, that drawbacks of online relationships
outweights the benefits. To begin with, virtual distance between
people has defined natural human interaction. For instance, people are
losing their social skills due to being increasingly isolated from
others. The social distance and lack of intimacy can also lead to some
severe mental problems such as depresion or anxiety, making it
difficult to talk with others freely and honestly.
All things considered, despite all of the advantages on human -to-
machine interactions based relationships can offer, eye -to -eye
conversation cannot be replaced by technologies and people still need
pshysical closure. In my opinion, communicating with others with the
help of technology is not harmful as long as a balance is maintained
with live communication.
