ONLINE SOCIALISING

  ONLINE SOCIALISING HAS A BAD EFFECT ON REAL  COMMUNICATION

Nowadays, many people use online socialising in their daily routine. This seems a good and easy way to talk with friends and family, but from my point of view it has a lot of disadvantages and dangers.

First of all, due to online socialising, face- to -face communication is starting to descrease, because instead of meeting someone to talk, people do it by computer or phone, and also, significant issues that must be talked face to face become impersonal and superficial. Moreover, it is said that you can meet new people by online socialising, but I think that this isn’t true, because you don´t really know if those people tell the truth about themselves, so as I see it, meeting people in this way is dangerous.

Secondly, people spend more time in front of the computer, rising the number of eye problems, such as computer vision syndrome. In addition, it can be addictive and cause significant problems in people´s lives, for example it can change someone´s mood and personality.

To sum up, I think that online socialising is dangerous. This problem will be solved if teenagers and adults are taught to give more importance to real communication than to online communication.
