isolation and virtual interactions. In other words, Face-to-face interactions are being replaced by
virtual connections like accessing the internet, playing games or using social medias, This can
lead to less time spent engaging in face-to-face interactions with friends, family, and colleagues.
Thus create a barrier, distancing us from the people we care about most.

interactions, Instead of engaging in meaningful conversations and activities with others,
individuals may be more focused on their devices. Which leads them to feelings of loneliness
and isolation. Besides, this may affect on the quality and depth of human relationships.
