Modern forms of communication such as email and messaging have reduced the amount of time people spend seeing their friends. This has had a negative effect on their social lives. What extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, the world is very developing so a variety of modern technologies are invented
such
as email or messaging to help
people
improve their life.
However
, many
people
said that modern forms of
communication
make them not see their friends a lot. In my opinion, I believe that it has more benefits than bad effects. Modern
communication
is very useful because it can help
people
from far away to connect with each other easier.
For instance
, in the past, when one had to live away from home, they only saw and visited their family on holidays or sometimes called them.
Nevertheless
, current
communication
can help them see their relatives anytime through video calls. The reason for
people
not using much time for friends is not only because of modern
communication
but
also
due to
other reasons
such
as they are so busy with work or do not like to gather.
Although
modern
communication
sometimes makes
people
not want to see each other, it has helped a lot in our lives. In my experience, when I have some questions about the lesson for my teacher
instead
of waiting for the next class, I can email them and receive an answer very quickly and enthusiastically.
Thus
, we can see messaging or email has helped us to save time so much and it is
also
convenient. It has had more positive effects on my social life and improved my life so much. In conclusion, modern technology and
communication
are one of the great inventions that make
people
more convenient and comfortable so I disagree with that view.
