 In the modern world it is possible to shop, work and communicate with people via internet and live without any face-to-face contact with others. Is it a positive or negative development in your opinion? To what extent do you support this development?

In this contemporary era, the internet has afforded umpteen benefits since individuals can shop online, besides engaging in professional endeavors without even visiting workplaces. I shall elucidate whether it is a favorable evolution, or not.

At the outset, an army of people vehemently professes that benefits fetched by this are overwhelming. For instance, telecommuting has allowed individuals to work flexibly from the comfort of their home, owing to this, one can now even serve in MNCs such as Microsoft, Google, and so on, without crossing(transcending) political boundaries. Besides this, rather than becoming part of chaos at market places, one can shop online from a myriad of choices at their disposal.

Similarly, many are now moving to other nations for jobs since they can now maintain contact with their kith and kin through online sources. This can be corroborated by citing the outcomes of a report published by The Hindustan Times, wherein they stated that the more and more professionals migrating to alien nations for employment worry less about their families as they find it easy to stay in touch with their loved ones. 

Nonetheless, this trend has invited a plethora of challenges. While this has hampered the growth of local enterprises, various individuals are exposed to a sedentary lifestyle since they have to sit in front of a 13 inch LED during their working hours. Other than that, it has also been observed that individuals are often bereft of essential qualities like confidence and communicating skills since they hardly interact with their peers and clients in the real world.

Overall, even though rich yields are afforded by this development, it is hard to overlook the detrimental aspects of the former. Therefore, despite being a favorable phenomenon, this arrangement should be adopted discreetly.
