IELTS WRITING TASK 2 - DISCUSS BOTH VIEWS - HARSHITH REDDY
Some people believe that technology has made man more social and others think that it has made him less social. Discuss both views and give your opinion?
Technology has an indispensable role in a humans life. However, it is often debated upon whether this has made people more sociable or more lethargic. In my perspective the advent of modern technology has made people more sociable but at the same time, it also hinders personal interaction. In this essay, I will not only discuss the pro's and con's but also cite some examples to strenghten my views.
There has been ample evidence that these have detrimental effect on young minds who are afected by the very addictive nature of such technologies, resulting in isolation from the society. In addition, dependence on these social media apps may have a pounding effect on mental health and leads people to a sedentary life style.For example, recent studies indicate that most of the middle aged people spend majority of their time on various messaging apps instead of meeting up and apending quality time with thier friends. Furthermore, potraying emotions can be a strenuous task. One wrong emoji can change the context of the sentence and lead to misconceptions.
On the other hand, technology has its downfolds but these dont undermine the multifold advantages. Firstly stating the obvious, technology has bridged the gap between friends. The ease of communication has never been better. People are able to share photos, information, opinions with no geographical barriers inducing a feeling of proximity. In times like these, where strict social distancing norms have to followed, technology has seriously aided mankind. It has facilitated the communication of various organisations by virtual real time meetings and kept the momentum of cash flow without the need to fly. People took to various video calling apps so that they would'nt stay out of the loop.
In conclusion, sociability has been advanced enormously due to huge technological progress of the past. One has to strike a balance between both physical and virtual life because it is predicted that the popularity of such apps will continue to flourish in the future.
