Online socialising

IS ONLINE SOCIALISING GOOD OR BAD?

Online socialising is a very important issue because it is being introduced in our daily life very quickly, due to the use of the Internet. Many people think it is a good thing because they think it is part of the technological development our society is having, however, I don’t think so.

First of all, communicating and having face-to-face conversations with other people is something incredible and meaningful, because in that way, you can express your feelings and comprehend the people who you are talking with better than typing on a computer. You can see what faces is the other person putting and how his or her voice is. Imagine you have to tell your best friend something that is really hurting you, wouldn’t it be better to tell it her face-to-face instead of typing in front of a computer?

Secondly, since online socialising has become such popular, people, especially young people are beginning to stay more time alone at home in front of the computer, instead of meeting friends.

To sum up, despite the numerous benefits of online socialising, I believe cyber communication should be more controlled in order to conserve real communication, because if not in a few years we won’t be able to maintain a face-to-face conversation.
