More technology means less communication
ReplyDeleteToday more and more people are using technology appliances,seeing them only good sides.Using internet you can find everything easily.You can visit various places, or meet many new people. Techonology is more portable and people have and expect constant acces to Internet and you can send an email easly from anywhere it is certaninly cheaper than phone calls.Online communication brings families and friends from various places and destination together. However,using ınternet at weekendays mean that I spend less time with my friends and family so I spend less time to socialize with them and have less time for face to face communication.
I personally, belive that using ınternet should be controlled.You should manage your time effectivetly.We shouldn’t spend hours on the net.Instead,we should set a time limit to check our emails and chat so that we can concertatie. On other things-Our studies spending more time with our loved ones – our friends and families. Aslı Tanrıverdı
