My Perspective

I agree to this statement because:• People think that they can’t live without their cell phones• People even forget about their family and friends• A significant number of young adults may be suffering from internet addiction

disorder, according to BBC.• The survey of 1,300 young adults, conducted by marketing agency Digital Clarity,

found that 16% of the 18- to 25-year-olds displayed symptoms of net addiction. Almost all of this 16% admitted to spending over 15 hours a day online. Experts remain divided over how real a condition internet addiction is.

Conclusion

• Technology seriously makes us more alone although it is meant to join us

• We are separated from our beloved ones including our family members as well as our friends just because of being addicted to unlimited usage of Technology

• To conclude, I’ll say that: “Nothing is bad, it depends on its usage whether you use it positively or negatively”
