Technology has become so evolved to the point where we can communicate in seconds to people cross country from us, something that would take us weeks and months to do, or not at all. This is an amazing thing to think about, but would our communication reflect the same in person as it is online? With this new communication technology, it is clear to see that in person interactions have began struggling. There is a loss in good human communication in which there aren’t proper hand gestures, body language, listening skills, grammar, eye contact, and so much more. People are now more comfortable with texting, calling, emailing, etc. than going and talking to someone in person.
Isolation between all persons, even people super close to each other like friends and family is very clear nowadays. The idea of just sending a quick text or even calling instead of going to see someone prevents the amount of time we see these people overall. In the moment the online communication seems like a great idea but in the end, it is taking away face to face interactions with people that you care about or care about talking to. Once growing comfortability in not interacting with people, what will ever make someone want to interact in person again? There are everyday occurrences in which we all see the isolation that is brought to society. Have you ever been out eating lunch with someone, and they are just on their phone the whole time? This is such a clear instance in which someone chooses to interact online rather than the opportunity of human interaction in front of them. Whether they are on their phone talking to other people or being on social media it is still considering isolation considering there is a chance to talk to someone face to face in front of you.
