ICT gave rise to extreme views. Some community stresses that ICT is bringing the world together in a common platform. Others say that ICT is making life isolated. Where do you want to place your views?

In my personal opinion , ICT has had an extremely positive impact on our world making people connect with their relatives and find new friends, work tasks have become more simplified with the introduction of software such as Microsoft Office and a range of Adobe software , also technology such as video calls have brought separated families closer together and has lowered costs for businesses around the world , so in this sense ICT does indeed help bring the world closer together and create a more active and cooperative society. On the other hand these forms of communications have no physical human contact and allow people to " hide behind their screens" and avoid confrontation and this is where isolation becomes an issue , taking away from our social skills which have been gained by physical face to face confrontation .
