In our modernized world today, technological devices became an essential part in our life and it made global communication possible, as it connects us to people around the world, it fills up the gap between us and our loved ones who are far away from us. So, how could this possibly make us feel more alone? People created technological devices such as cellphones, computers, laptops, iPads and many more so that we could stay connected. Based on what is happening now, “people become more uncomfortable talking to someone face-to-face. According to Melnick 2011”(38). Instead of taking to someone face to face it is more of indirect communication, as technology “excluded the use of body language, voice tune, eye contact” and most importantly expressing your feelings (7). People prefer to talk online and send messages because “they can control how long it takes for them to respond, leaving out the awkwardness of the sudden silence people make during face-to-face conversation” (39). The use of technology, social networking and social media sites makes us feel more loved and identified by world, but actually it makes us feel lonelier because we do not spend real face-to-face conversations with the outside world. Thus people ignore their feeling of being lonely so they have a greater desire to use online chatting which is distracting their feelings, which may result into many disadvantages such as depression and loneliness.

OpenStudy (sanra123):

One of the reasons that it makes us feel lonelier is that it “creates a bubble that keeps you isolated from real human contact and real human interaction”(3). Thus it reduces the quality of face-to-face communication. Whenever people ignore their feeling of loneliness it becomes more painful they decide social networking to break the pain of loneliness
