Writing Portfolio 4
When it comes to communication applications, people often think that it only has
negative effects on the aspects of direct human interaction. Meanwhile, in my
personal opinion, I see both positive and negative things from using online
communication tools.
On the one hand, on the negative side, I agree that if we become too dependent on
these technological applications, we will not be able to connect directly with others.
Not only that, when we use apps, we can get addicted to them. It leads people to
prefer to communicate with each other through chat app rather than hanging out and
chatting face to face. For example, when I go to a coffee shop with my friends,
instead of chatting with other people, they just look at their phone screens. This shows
that over-reliance on online communication tools harms human interactions.
On the other hand, I believe that as science continues to advance and more and more
advanced tools emerge, it makes our lives easier. Use these apps to help connect
people far away, saving you a lot of time so you can get more done, or you can find
work online and work from home. For example, we don’t have to go to each other to
meet each other like before because now there is a very convenient videocall feature.
That is also why more and more modern things are invented and thanks to that,
everything will become simpler.
In conclusion, while the statement of the reading is that the use of communication
applications have a negative effect on people’s direct interaction. But we also have to
admit the fact that the values and benefits of those applications are too great. So in my
opinion, we should use it in the most reasonable way so that we can maximize their
positives and limit their negatives.
