text: Distance learning is a very wonderful concept when it comes to how we teach children. It allows student to be more comfortable and work by their own schedule for the most part. The fact that technology has become such a common aspect of life that children are able to be taught in this way is an achievement in itself. However, simply because something can be done, does not mean it should be. We should not rely on technology for childrens' education due to the fact that it may be psychologically damaging for the youth. I've said how school has helped me develop long lasting relationship by putting my in a space where being social was somewhat mandatory. Some people on the side of distance learning would argue that having relationships like that are monogamist and not a necessary need, however that is completely false. We as a species are very passionate and thrive off of compassion. Studies have shown that this current generation is statistically the most depressed it has ever been. Connecting studies show that this is due to majority of millennials feeling lonely due to the inability to communicate properly with others. This is due to the over usage of technology to communicate rather than face to face interaction. Most people when asked when they have talked to others in person answer with either in school or in a place of business. We can't revert the effects technology has had on society but we can surely stop it from getting worse. Implementing distance learning would only cut off a form students from getting an already stagnant amount of social reaction that is needed. Thus leading us to an even more depressed society.
