The topic I have chosen to do my discursive essay is if we have lost our social lives due to modern technology. I will be going over the two different opinions on it if modern technology has taken over our lives or if we are still hanging out with eachother. It all started, say, ten-fifteen years ago with technological development and introducement of social networks such as Facebook and Myspace. From the very beginning, people liked it and some, as a matter of fact, gradually became addicted to it. My opinion is that the very first days played the key role in all this. They submitted to it and this is how I think we lost our social lives. On the other hand, some were brave enough to put a limit to, for example, spending your time on the computer. In my view, nothing is impossible and you have to be a strong-minded person in order to know how to deal with such things. However, not all are able to control their desires, hence, I believe that modern technology has infiltrated into our social lives and is keeping us trapped in its world. I acknowledge that we have thrown away the way of life that was usual ten-fifteen years ago, but now, there is a new way of communication amongst people, especially the youngsters. What good and what less good things are to come out of that is yet to be seen.
