Nowadays, more people are choosing to socialise online
rather than face to face. Is this a positive or negative
development?

An increasing number of people meet and talk to their friends online instead of in
person. In my opinion, this is a negative development which can lead to isolation,
potentially harmful situations and also problems later on in life.

One serious problem that can arise from people socializing online is that it can lead
to isolation. Before the internet, people would frequently go out to meet friends, for
example in cafes, bars or restaurants, whereas now people prefer to stay at home
alone, chatting online. As a result, people are starting to spend the majority of their
time alone at home in their room without meeting others. Isolation of this kind is
not healthy and can sometimes lead to depression and other issues.

Another issue is that meeting people online can be risky. In other words, people
can assume fake identities online as well as hide their true characteristics. This is
particularly concerning for teenagers who are impressionable and can easily be led
into dangerous situations. Furthermore, as this interaction is online, parents have
no way of monitoring it and protecting their children.
Finally, socializing online can end in difficulties years later as conversations and
shared photos that had been forgotten
reappear. This situation is currently critical for many people, again especially for teenagers who do not think carefully before posting online. That is to say, information which is put online can remain there
forever and while people may share intimate communications with close friends,
these words can then resurface later on leading to much embarrassment.

In conclusion, although it has become more popular for people to socialize through
the internet, it has brought about too many problems for this to be considered a
positive trend.
