Understanding Author's Tone in a Commentary

Medium Author's Purpose And Tone Author's Tone

In a recent commentary about the impact of technology on modern communication, the author expresses a mix of admiration and concern. She opens with the statement, "Technology has connected us in ways that were once unimaginable, allowing people from different continents to share their thoughts in an instant." As she continues, she recounts personal experiences of scrolling through social media late into the night and feeling a sense of isolation despite being connected. She writes, "While it's fascinating to see glimpses of others' lives across the world, I often wonder if we are losing the ability to engage in deep, face-to-face conversations." By the end of the piece, she urges readers to find a balance between online interactions and real-life connections.
