Some people believe that modern technology has enhanced social behavior, but others think it has reduced social interactions. Discuss both views and give your opinion. While many people hold the idea that technological advances have dramatically improved our standards of living, the opponents claim that this has negatively impacted people’s natural social interactions. When it comes to this notion, I wholeheartedly opine that despite the irreparable damages, the benefits of the recent advances in science and technology far outweigh the drawbacks. We live in a world full of individuals suffering from a vast range of mental disorders living in soulless cities of gray concrete. Air pollution, deforestation, and the alarming rate of psychological problems are just some of the obvious plights of what we have achieved besides the fruits of cutting edge technologies. In spite of the easier means of communication, people in this day and age are more prone to solidarity solitude behind their apparently satisfying selfies on social media. Many a time people turn a blind eye on to a massacre because they are overwhelmed with such news. Having said that, advocates claim that technological advances have contributed to a great improvements in social behavior amongst people enjoying them. An overwhelming majority of people use their smartphones as a leisure activity which certainly has provided people from all walks of life with a unique opportunity to improve their social behaviors, hence the importance of social media. In addition to this, people can easily take a picture or record a clip of unlawful activities and post it on the spot, thereby avoiding preventing many a person especially those in power such as police officers and politicians from the misbehavior they used to commit without any fear before. To cut a long story short, I maintain that technological advances per se are not harmful, but the way people use them to achieve specific goals is what results in adverse impacts on social behavior in societies. In other words, the way we use technology determines if its impacts are positive beneficial to social behavior or negative. It is high time scientists found practical solutions so that ordinary people can strike a balance between this seemingly unbridgeable gap between traditional and modern lifestyles. Once again, I would like to reaffirm that these otherwise perfect achievements could have increased our social behavior more if people could have struck a balance using them.
