The transition from face-to-face chats to a communication style shaping how society interacts,
dominated by digital interactions it is now hard to form meaningful relationships between two
people. With the ease of use that digital platforms provide with its availability and accessibility

2. Encouraging In-Person Communication Skills:
Advantages: Emphasizes on regaining the ability to hold insightful conversations.
Cons: May be difficult in a world where digital communication is becoming more and
more important and calls.
3. Developing Introspection:

Cons: Because of its indirect nature, it might not deal with the underlying reasons of the
problem.

Solution: Limiting the Use of Devices

Limiting the use of devices addresses people's addiction to the digital world. This approach
encourages individuals to live in the moment, immersing themselves in the intricacies of
in-person interactions and connecting with others at a deeper level, reflecting curiosity and
interest. Implementation may revive the old days of meeting people meaningfully and randomly,
making friendships more interesting.

Possible Consequence:
It is highly unlikely to be followed by individuals with introverted personalities, as it poses a
threat to their natural way of interaction. On the other hand, in a world full of technology, many
individuals may still choose to engage in digital platforms due to their convenience.
