Is technology making us less social?

Opening speech:
According to recent data, the average person spends 4 hours and 37 minutes on
their phone daily. That's the equivalent of over 1 day per week or 6 days per month.
Across a year, that's approximately 70 days spent looking at a phone. This can lead
to interpersonal issues along with less socializing with friends and important motor
skills may be lost.
People are increasingly using social media for communication, leading to less face-
to-face interaction, loneliness, weaker communication skills, more distractions, less
trust in others, addictive technology, and superficial relationships. This has resulted
in a lack of deep emotional connections, a decrease in trust in others, and a
tendency to spend more time online instead of socializing in person.

 Bad posture/Health issues.

 Family problems cannot be resolved as we turn to technology instead of


discussing and resolving the issue.

 Cyberbullying.

 Online friends may not always be who you think they are.” Never trust
anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain.”

 Can affect studies: Many students stall by spending time on their gadgets
instead of studying which includes the famous phrase ”5 more minutes.”
