Nowadays people can carry out tasks such as shopping and banking even business transactions without meeting each other face to face. What are the effects on individuals and society? In this day and age by the advent of the Internet, more and more people tend to use online services to do their everyday tasks. These services can provide people with a variety of benefits ranging from ordering groceries to complicated financial transactions between international companies. Certainly, these services at first seemed extremely interesting, but gradually the side effects have raised a heated debate amongst people from all walks of life. This short essay will discuss both the merits and demerits of this controversial issue. Unlike just a few decades ago and thanks to science and technology, we can buy almost everything we need using online services provided by the Internet which for sure have reduced the number of exhausting travels. Digikala, for example, in my country offers reasonable prices compared to traditional shops owing to the fact that it does not have to pay for a luxuriously large store in an appropriate part of the town, hence the lower prices it can offer to its customers. What is more, is the time-saving method of delivery and payment for people living in large cities suffering from time limitation. Having said that, the opponents argue that despite the various benefits, we cannot overlook the irrecoverable damages these new methods lead to for both society and individuals. Spending most of their time at work, people living in large cities rarely find time for socializing, and if they stop buying their needs from traditional stores, the minimum communication between them will be cut, leading to more isolated members of society. The alarming rate of isolated individuals in a society is definitely harmful to both society and people. To cut a long story short, I hold that it goes without saying that although the new online methods benefit us widely, we have to strike a balance using them. We need to communicate with other people, or this otherwise perfect solution can deteriorate aggravate our mental wellbeing.
