Claim: Young people's tendency to make extensive use of portable devices like smartphones and tablets has hurt their development of social skills.
Reason: These devices encourage users to form artificial personalities and relationships online rather than fully and honestly engaging with the people around them.

The claim that young people's extensive use of portable devices like smartphones and tablets has hindered their development of social skills is a complex and multifaceted issue. While it is true that these devices have transformed the way we communicate and interact with others, it is an oversimplification to assert that they have solely contributed to the decline of social skills in young individuals. In this essay, I will argue that while portable devices may have some impact on social skills, they also offer unique opportunities for social engagement and personal growth.

To begin with, it is important to acknowledge that portable devices have indeed changed the way young people communicate. The prevalence of smartphones and tablets has led to an increase in online interactions, and some individuals may rely more on virtual interactions rather than face-to-face encounters. However, it is an oversimplification to attribute this shift solely to the use of portable devices. Other societal factors, such as the rise of social media platforms and the increasing importance placed on online presence, have also contributed to this phenomenon.

Moreover, portable devices can actually facilitate social connections and foster the development of social skills. Social media platforms, for instance, allow individuals to connect with a diverse range of people and engage in meaningful discussions. Online communities centered around shared interests can provide opportunities for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and even the development of leadership skills. In this way, portable devices can serve as a catalyst for social engagement and personal growth.

Additionally, the claim implies that the relationships formed online are inherently artificial and lack honesty. However, this assumption disregards the vast array of genuine and meaningful connections that can be forged through digital platforms. Many individuals find solace, support, and understanding within online communities. They are able to express themselves more freely and connect with others who share similar experiences or perspectives. The notion that these relationships are artificial oversimplifies the complex dynamics of human interaction and fails to recognize the emotional depth that can be achieved through digital means.

Furthermore, it is crucial to consider that social skills are not solely determined by face-to-face interactions. In today's interconnected world, the ability to navigate online spaces and engage with others digitally is becoming increasingly important. Developing digital literacy and proficiency in online communication can be valuable skills for young people, enabling them to thrive in an evolving technological landscape. It is essential to recognize that social skills encompass a broad spectrum of abilities, and the ability to effectively navigate both physical and virtual social environments is becoming increasingly relevant.

In conclusion, while it is true that the extensive use of portable devices has transformed the way young people interact and communicate, it is an oversimplification to assert that it has solely hindered the development of their social skills. These devices offer unique opportunities for social engagement, personal growth, and the formation of meaningful relationships. By recognizing the multifaceted nature of social skills and the potential benefits of digital interactions, we can foster a more nuanced understanding of the role that portable devices play in the social development of young individuals.
