In a debate on the motion ‘Technology reduces human interaction', write a rebuttal paragraph (max 90 words) that (i) challenges the premise with two counter‑examples, (ii) uses a logical connective to link them, and (iii) ends with a strong concluding sentence.
Answer Options
A.
Technology reduces human interaction because people spend hours on smartphones, ignoring face‑to‑face conversation; for instance, teenagers texting during meals and commuters scrolling on tablets; thus, technology isolates individuals.
B.
While some claim technology helps, the reality is that video‑calling replaces real hugs and social‑media creates shallow friendships; these examples show technology actually harms connections, so the motion stands.
C.
Technology's impact is neutral; it neither reduces nor expands interaction, as shown by mixed usage patterns; therefore, the debate is irrelevant.
Correct Answer
D.
The claim that technology diminishes human interaction overlooks that video‑calling platforms enable families separated by continents to converse daily, and social‑media groups bring together individuals with niche interests who would otherwise remain isolated; both illustrate how technology can actually expand connections. Therefore, rather than reducing interaction, technology reshapes it, fostering new forms of engagement.
