There seem to be divergent views as regards to the impact of modern technology on social relations. There are valid points in its ability to make people more or less sociable. This paper discusses both sides of the divide but I am of the opinion that modern technology makes people less sociable.
Modern technology has made it increasingly possible to reach out to people of multiple cultures outside one's location. This enhances social integration which enables people to know more about other people's culture. In addition, modern technology helps to enlarge network for business advancement. Thus, if one depends on outdated means of advertising products rather than leveraging on modern technology like social media, radio and television, there will be limited patronage all things being equal.
However, people who think modern technology is detrimental to friendliness always point to the absence of interpersonal communication such as gestures. They claim that lack of interpersonal communication has made people less sociable since the advent of tools like Facebook, email and Twitter. Secondly, the increasing rate of internet fraud has also made people less sociable as they limit the use of modern technology which tends to be counterproductive.
In conclusion, I am of the opinion that the emergence of modern technology has made people less sociable than more because of lack of interpersonal communication and internet fraud. However, modern technology's ability to reach out to wide range of people is commendable and should be encouraged because its benefits could outweigh the costs. Also, modern technology's ability to make businesses prosper via reaching out to more customers could lead to the advancement of everyone by increasing profitability and general well-being of people.

Some people think that modern
It is argued that cutting edge technology empowers people to socialize. This statement is opposed by the opinion that computers and social networks have a negative impact on communication. This essay agrees to the latter point of view, however will review arguments of both parties.
The main advantage of innovative technology with regards to the above-mentioned matter is the unlimited resources. In other words, social networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn make it possible to unite for a common hobby, project, or an event. For instance, would a person want to discuss a recently-published book, he/she can easily find interested people via websites and with the help of search engines.
At the same time, I believe that individuals’ ability of face to face interaction can be damaged greatly. It is a proven fact that the more one surfs the Internet, the less communicative he/she becomes. From my own experience, I can tell that often it is not possible to track how much time was spent in the Web. Gradually this becomes a habit, which starts replacing live chatting. Besides that, not only the time spent with family and friends gets reduced, but also the quality of socialization, especially when it comes to children and teenagers. For example, gadgets can affect the emotional attachment of kids to their parents, or child’s self-cognition process might get endangered.
In my opinion every phenomenon has more than one side, and this question is not an exception either. However, after the consideration of both positive and negative impacts of technological development on humans’ sociability, I can restate that unfavorable effects overweight the advantages.
