Is it Alright To Be Connected All The Time?

As the internet and mobile phones become more common, people are increasingly becoming more connected with each other. It is possible to communicate with people on the other side of the planet in an instant. At the same time, it is easy to see what other people are up to by using social media. As this connectivity increases, it is important to ask ourselves, " is it alright to be connected all the time?"

There are numerous benefits of being connected to the internet all the time. One can easily search for information online and share it with other people. It is also much easier for people to track each other and share their location with family and friends. On the other hand, this connectivity also comes with certain disadvantages. People are increasingly spending more time on their phones and becoming less productive. Due to spending less time interacting face to face, people are also losing their social skills.

Internet technology has made our lives very easy and interesting. However, it is important to be mindful of it's disadvantages and use it to help us instead of disabling us.
