Technology can help connect people but also contributes to loneliness, according to the document. While technology allows communication, some people become addicted to technology and spend excessive time online rather than with family and friends. Studies show that a significant percentage of young adults display symptoms of internet addiction, spending over 15 hours per day online and feeling they cannot live without their devices. In conclusion, technology is not inherently bad but how it is used - positive or negative - determines its impact.

• People even forget about their family and friends

disorder, according to BBC.
• The survey of 1,300 young adults, conducted by marketing agency Digital Clarity,
found that 16% of the 18- to 25-year-olds displayed symptoms of net addiction.
Almost all of this 16% admitted to spending over 15 hours a day online. Experts
remain divided over how real a condition internet addiction is.
9. Conclusion
• Technology seriously makes us more alone although it is meant to join us
• We are separated from our beloved ones including our family members as well
as our friends just because of being addicted to unlimited usage of Technology
• To conclude, I’ll say that:
“Nothing is bad, it depends on its usage whether you use it positively or
negatively”
