Is digital trend good or bad for people?
In the article “Is Digital Connectedness Good or Bad for People?”, two debaters argue if the internet improves our lives or hurts it. Noa Gafni Slaney, one of the debaters, argues that the internet helps people explore new things and build new relationships. Meanwhile, Emerson Csorba argues that sharing or posting things on the internet can lead to competition and depression. Csorba mentioned that studies show that increased Facebook usage “contributes to anxiety and even depression”. I’ve seen many people including people I know competing against one another to see who is the best. Some have led people to depression but I still believe that digital connectedness is good for the people. For me the internet has helped me make new friends and strengthen the bonds I already had with my old friends. I know people who are very insecure but they still post anyways and get so much love which gives them a boost of confidence. Which leads me to ask: Do you think the internet harms people rather than help them?

The internet can vary from person to person and how it can harm or be good for them. It depends on your friends and who you surround yourself with.The internet has led to increases in depression and cyber bulling is still a thing that hasn't gone away at all which can lead to depression. The internet can help boost peoples confidence and also lower it as well. There will always be one hater on the internet and we must chose to not listen to them or confront them.
