Explanation / Answer

Electronic communication has altogether stopped the essence of interpersonal communication. Now, people don't talk to each other in person. They make themselves occupied on their phones. No matter what they are doing, they always have time to post on social networking sites. They have lost all emotions. The emotional connect between two individuals are decreasing day by day. The cell phone and new technology like internet have dramatically changed our lives. Now, instead of enjoying an event, people are more interested in capturing it to show it to their friends. Our social connections are not strengthened at all. Face-to face interaction has deeper impact on person's mind than social media interaction. So, the interpersonal relationships are not built at all. We only text those people who have the same view point as ours. So, the diversity of view points is missing from our lives. We have confined ourselves within the boundary of our phones which has restricted us from gaining knowledge from others.
