Does Technology Promote Loneliness?

Nowadays researchers are continuously researching to improving the technological networks. So, the use of technology has been increased over the years. Hence in the world of continuously increasing technology, a common question arises i.e. does technology promote loneliness? Technology allows people to be connected with the outer world for 24 hours.

It helps them to be updated and be in touch via social media. Now there are so many platforms where students can take online education to improve their knowledge and to clear their doubts regarding their subject topics. So, they told that technology cannot be the cause of the people’s loneliness. In the present situation, people spend much time with their mobile phone laptop or any other gadget for their work, study or research purpose.

Based on that it has been said that approx. 42 percent of the Australian citizen using average multiple ways of an online internet platform. They also feel connected with their friends, family and their colleagues, which is reducing their loneliness. So, it can be said that technology is now facing great progress and globalization, but still, now the debate on this topic is going on. Mainly the improved technology increases the advantage for all sectors, and it connects the whole world and peoples. 

[Your introduction contains too many ideas that are irrelevant to your discussion. Since you are writing an argumentative essay, your introduction should only establish the problem on technology and social media. What are some recent events that show that people associate loneliness to social media?

Why is it a debatable issue?] Social media especially Facebook, does not promotes loneliness because it allows people to in every sector their life, provides benefits for business as well as group interaction and critical thinking, provides facilities to interact people with their relatives from anywhere and also provides a big marketing platforms & helps user to be attached with a lot of business pages or study & research related work for their benefits. 

Social media & advanced technology allows people to connect with the people of anywhere in the world. If we consider today’s college students, then social media is the most suitable platform for them to communicate with the people and also this is the platform for their entertainment. Social media is now integrated into the higher education system (Goyal 225). There are so many social media and advanced technology tools like Facebook, Tweeter, and, etc. Here we particularly focus on Facebook.

Hence, we can say that Facebook is also a platform for social media and is proven for is important in student life. It has been recognized by the researchers that Facebook has multiple numbers of uses which in fact permit students to study in a group. They can do group discussions, critical thinking and also build mutual understanding through multimedia content. It is also found beneficial for business purpose and business computing. Everyone can connect people through Facebook and can learn from them (Uppal 255). 

Facebook does not present loneliness as Facebook is one of the famous social networking sites that gives a platform where anybody can interact with relatives, friends and also share their ideas, views, photos as well as many other things (Błachnio et al. 28).

It gives people the ability to construct community as well as carry the world nearer together. That reproduces that people cannot do this themselves, but simply by empowering people to construct communities as well as bring people together. They intended to connect all lives. This makes people connected and reduces their loneliness.

One of the most important benefits Facebook has to contribute as a marketing platform is the aforementioned Facebook Business Page. This opens the market to the business of Facebook. Facebook users can like, comment & share the content on Business posts. Facebook enables users to build including nurture those connections.

Customers can yield their conclusions, leave reports including ask inquiries on the Facebook Business Page. Facebook allows users to optimize the ad spend including reaching their ideal client (Błachnio and Aneta 275). As far as an advancing advantage is concerned, social media give valuable knowledge for any business seeing to build a smart approach. By learning about competitor’s activities one can give insight into what works as well as what doesn’t. 

[The introductory phrase “By learning about competitor’s activities” is not separated from the main sentence with a comma. Insert a comma after “activities” to emphasize the main clause, which is what the sentence is actually about.] Facebook is one of the social networks for business including another where one can get out a lot of knowledge about the competitor’s strategy including interaction and build the strategy to gain competitive compensation.

In conclusion, we proposed that advanced technology especially Facebook includes various advantages, and that will help people to increase their knowledge in various sectors of their life and make them connected anytime to the whole world from anywhere. [The independent clauses 

(1) In conclusion, we proposed that advanced technology especially Facebook includes various advantages, and

2) That will help people to increase their knowledge in various sectors of their life and make them connected anytime to the whole world from anywhere) in this compound sentence are joined together by only the coordinating conjunction “and,” which is not enough.

Insert a comma after “advantages,” before “and” to help readers distinguish your complete thoughts.] That will reduce people’s loneliness and help them to reduce their depression. As we know that excessive use of anything is not good but limited and professional use of today’s advanced technology does not cause loneliness whereas it intended to reduce it.
