    Technology has both connected people and increased feelings of isolation. While social media allows communication over long distances, overreliance on technology can undermine genuine social interaction. Face-to-face contact is an important part of relationships, but technology provides convenience and a sense of control that makes some people more comfortable interacting online than in person. However, overuse of technology risks replacing real-world connections with people nearby. A balance must be found between the benefits and drawbacks of technology for social interaction and preventing isolation.

    Does the technology make the people feel
    isolated

    INTRODUCTION:
    Technology in today's evolved world serves to link individuals all over the world and to
    assist them accomplish their work more effectively rather than being alone. Technology
    allows us to bridge the distance between us and our loved ones who live thousands of
    miles away. So, how can this possibly make us feel isolated?
    We humans invented cellphones, computers, iPads, and other devices so that we may
    communicate with people all over the globe via social media platforms such as
    Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat. However, people are becoming increasingly
    reliant on technology. Rather of meeting in person, they prefer to interact via text.
    Despite the fact that technology is supporting our social lives, it is also taking over our
    environment and interfering with genuine social interaction.
    The bulk of study on the subject shows that technological advancements, particularly
    those that improve communication, contribute to increased emotions of connectivity
    and a reduction in feelings of isolation, loneliness, and despair.
    Technology has connected people in times of isolation, as during the coronavirus.
    People went to their devices to continue their schooling and job while the globe was
    quarantined, as well as to acquire the most up-to-date information about the epidemic.

    ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN ISOLATING US:


    The usage of social networking sites and media is only a fantasy that makes us feel
    closer to our loved ones, but in reality, it simply makes us feel lonely when we do not
    have face-to-face interactions with those around us. So, why does it seem like I'm
    becoming more isolated? Although technology will never be able to replace a solid
    relationship, it can help us feel more at ease with the individuals with whom we
    communicate. When we meet individuals online, for example, we feel more at ease
    chatting to them without hesitation. However, when we actually meet the folks, we may
    feel uneasy or dissatisfied since we are not used to face-to-face conservation as we are
    used to chatting with them.
    The presence of one another is one of the most significant aspects of a relationship.
    However, when it comes to long-distance relationships, we may use a variety of
    technical tools to link us, but even if they spend a whole day video chatting, they will be
    able to emotionally but not physically fill the void left by their absence. The benefit of
    this type of connection is that it allows people to meet in person.
    EASE PROVIDED BY TECHNOLOGY:
    Technology serves as a conduit for various types of thoughts and information. When we
    turn on the television, it broadcasts significant news from across the world and provides
    information on current events. Apart from that, television is a fantastic source of
    amusement; when we are alone at home, we may watch a variety of programmes on
    television to avoid feeling lonely. Why do we feel so alone as a result of it? The
    internet is a fantastic source of information since it allows us to learn anything we
    choose.

    INTERNET:
    The internet is the primary source of publicized ideas. I believe that in this modern day,
    one should have a wealth of information and views in order to analyze and influence
    others around them. You can share any advice, suggestions, or interests over the
    internet. It makes life easy for us. Even the most enigmatic information may be
    accessed on the internet.
    The internet and phones discourage youngsters from having face-to-face interactions.
    A "text" is the simplest form of communication ever devised, because it decreases, if
    not completely eliminates, the need to physically meet another person in order to
    converse.

    ONLINE CONVERSATION:
    We may also create friends on social media, and we can feel assured without any
    reservations. When you're online, you have complete control over how you show
    yourself and how you express yourself. Because I am an introvert, I am unable to
    communicate my feelings in a face-to-face discussion; but, when I am online, I use my
    social media accounts to share various views and facts.

    FACEBOOK:
    Facebook allows me to interact with folks from all around the world. It's a place where I
    can express myself and have others from all around the globe remark on my ideas,
    which helps me develop. Because of sophisticated technology, I can spend a whole day
    at home playing video games, video chatting with my pals, or learning about a subject of
    my choice.

    ONLINE LEARNING:
    To make life simpler for people, there is also online learning, where we may study at
    home while sitting in our own room, rather than going to school. People like me who are
    unable to open up to the general public may enroll in an online course, where we can
    talk with our friends without having to meet them in person and email our professor
    without having to meet them.

    MAIN DISADVANTAGE:
    True, technology diminishes the value of those around us. We can communicate with
    those who are far away, but we have begun to forget about those who are close to us.
    The technical gadgets were created to assist people in discussing their opinions,
    thoughts, and ideas, but they are being misused in the wrong way.

    ACCORDING TO NILLES:
    According to Nilles' book "The Bottom Line," published in 2012, social media sites are
    undermining the value of social interaction and isolating us in today's environment. We
    prefer online messaging to face-to-face communication because it is more comfortable
    and allows us to express ourselves more clearly.
    In our own home, we've noticed that our children and adolescents feel at ease
    conversing with distant cousins and family members. When it comes to meeting with
    them, however, they are bashful and uneasy since they have become accustomed to
    emotional rather than physical presence.

    CONCLUSION:
    In conclusion, everything has its own set of constraints. It's up to us to figure out how to
    use them in a useful way without abusing them. Technology should be limited as well;
    after all, there is still the actual world to contend with. We constantly want to be seen
    and appreciated by those around us, but the problem is that we are unable to do so.
    How can we expect others to talk to us if we are unwilling to interact with them?
