Technology have changed the world drastically, technologies like phones , laptops, communication apps, social media and video conference calls , have made communication, networking, socializing very easy and convenient for everyone, including the introverts and extroverts.
In our current world physical limitations isn't an issue anymore, because we are all convenient communicating online with different people in different countries with the help of technology.
With the help of video calls, daily streak, voice call, text, communication could take be made effortlessly at the comfort of our homes .
The wild spread of technology in communicating sectors is gradually replacing and limiting the need of physical meet up and connections, because people will prefer communicating at the comfort of their homes, than stepping out or traveling far distance to meet their partners and friends.
Gone are those days that you have to travel often to be able to meet, communicate and know people, now you could just converse with your business partner, best friends , family with the help of technology.Technology have built an online connection between people from different worlds and that one of the beautiful parts of the digital world.
Online communication is a good thing, but as humans, who are created to communicate and socialize , it's necessary to communicate beyond our phones, because the world is gradually changing and the abuse of technology is gradually affecting our connections.
It's necessary to associate physically as a social being, online communication is gradually building a wall around us, it's making the world a lonely place. It's very necessary we meet up physically and not totally depend on online communication where feelings could be hidden and we could be given a wrong information too.
The world is becoming lonely even with people around, you walk into a room and everyone is more focused on their phone and unaware of their environment.
Physical communication build connections and brotherhood better among humans.
More physical communication boost confidence, strengthens communication more than online communication.
At some point in my life, I use to feel more confident, open and relatable while having an online communication with friends, but when it's time to meet physically, communication become slow, I deal with being shy and it seems to me like I'm just knowing you for the first time, meanwhile we have been chatting, in most cases this attitude is mutual.
We might all agree that online communication is more convenient but we can't take way the fact the physical communication build more connection and bond in our world , over online communication.
The part were I encourage online communication more is the aspect of safety, not just safety from crime and harms , but also financial safety.
This is why more people prefer working remotely, because it saves them from expenses and transportation.
This doesn't mean crime doesn't exist in online communication, but it reduces the rate of crime the in the physical world.
Also, have we ever thought of the fact that technologies like phone are built to assist and help humans, it wasn't meant for us to totally depend on them or replace our physical presence. We forget the need for physical connection because communication is now easy and we are in a digital world.
Online communication will not lead to any form doom , because it has it own advantage in our world, especially those who distance have been a barrier to meet up physically, it's only going to lead to loneliness , even with people around us.
In conclusion, I believe there should be a balance, people should prioritize seeing their friends physically and not just online.
