People now can perform some everyday tasks, such as shopping and banking as well as business transactions, without meeting other people face to face. What are the effects of this development on individuals and on society as a whole?
With the advent of the Age of the Internet, the pattern of people’s interaction and communication has become diverse, which
exerts a profound impact on both individuals and society.
For individuals, the pervasive use of the Internet helps people save time and enhance the efficiency.
So convenient is the application of telecommunication and online-shopping
that people are
extricating themselves from such undesirable factors as traffic congestion, bad weather and tight schedule and so forth. However,
over-indulgence in the Internet potentially
renders people as
a slave of internet and computer.
Due to the absence of face-to-face interview and communication, people are going to be, geographically as well as emotionally, isolated from each other, which further makes people lose a sense of identity and social belonging.
For society, industries such as electronic commerce and online-business have
become major beneficiaries of this tendency.
This is simply because the interaction and communication
is no longer confined to geographical impediment.
With increasing popularity of online shopping and banking, consumption and investment undoubtedly flourish, which can
served as a driving factor to facilitate the sustainable development of social economy. However, many small and medium sized enterprises may
fall victim to the wave of electronic business
on account of insufficiency of money and technology to develop online transaction system. In addition, unemployment rate may be driven up because many job positions
have and will continue to be replaced by online automatic transaction systems.
To conclude,
I concede that the development of telecommunication technology and internet
comes with some unpleasant side-effects. However, its positive effects
outweigh its negative ones.
As long as people
turn the application of electronic transaction system
to good account, both individuals and society will
profit from it.
