Online Life vs Offline Line - Essay by Chandra Nishithraj

Life can change within a glimpse of second as Covid 19 changed our life. We all have never expected an online life which we are leading right now.Today everyone has the knowledge on internet access ,during the lockdown many families were in trouble for even their daily needs on their poor knowledge on online shopping. But as the time heals  everyone tried to change those traditional methods of offline life to lively online life.

Everything is little difficult and indigestible in the beginning later on it becomes very easy.Many of the children were in trouble for their education purposes as everyone does not own a smart phone but after having a smart phone and internet connection all children and families came smart because all their life activities like shopping ,education ,entertainment etc. could be done online with the help of that smart phone . The threat we faced with online life was the network issues which was later solved by the cellular connection companies . The online platforms were completely open with many opportunities for people striving for opportunities , online platforms does not show any discrimination so everyone were completely comfortable online communication system . Online events just depends on network hence all works can be done fast and efficiently so we get time to chase our passion .

Although interacting with others offline gives us an experience that no other medium could ,an online social life also offers something which offline life does not. This information can translate to conversational topics when we interact with others offline, thereby deepening the exchange we have with them .

It seems that there are two types of people; one who complement their offline social life with their online one ,and the rest who pretty much replace their offline social life with the online one . You'd probably guess that it's healthier to be the former than the latter since most of us would say that social interaction should not only consist of what is being said but also how it is being said .

In conclusion ,when people do not know your true identity such as online ,people treat you differently . Your race , gender , ethnicity ,disability and look among other things that make up yourself define how people interact you making online a safer place to express yourself sometimes . Making it safer until your identity comes out if it does . Like the sides of coin everything has its positive and negative side our usage depends on the effect.

The distinction between online and offline is conventionally seen as the distinction between computer-mediated communication and face-to-face communication. Online is virtual world or cyberspace, and offline is reality.

   The offline social interactions had more depth than what we are experiencing online today because we could at least hear the tone of voice through phone calls or read the body language and facial expression of the new person we have met at the reception.

It's hard to believe that we are now able to make contact with a stranger from the other side of the world in a matter of seconds. Work processes and collaborations can never be easier or smoother without the existence of these networks.

To make up for the lack of visual cues from text-based conversations, emoticons eventually came to be. Even then, we all know emoticons are simply not enough sometimes. The tone of voice we hear over the phone is a much better indicator of emoticons. When dealing with face to face interactions, there's the entire package of body languages, facial expressions, and voice to take into consideration.

There may occur many misunderstandings through an online platform. But the fact is that the online platform is like a newborn baby and the offline platform is like an adult person. So how do we compare the former with the latter?

Although interacting with others offline gives us an experience that no other mediums could, an online social life also offers something that offline life does not. Social networking sites like Facebook offer users a window to a world of ideas. We get to hear about the latest news faster than before, even in real-time, as the events unfold.

In our present world, the world that is swallowed by covid, we know the importance of online life although we praise our offline life. When coming to offline systems that we used to use before a year, it is an emotion that college, our friends, educations, etc. But in online life, all the studies and other things come to our fingertips.

A wedding reception is one of the things that many people are missing nowadays.  Our previous marriage functions consist of around 5,000 people attending a ceremony that involves only two people. And there is a huge gathering then, many foods for and without and wasting a lot of food, by spending a lot of money etc. But now in this present world wedding functions are with a limited number of people.

ONLINE AND OFFLINE CLASSROOM:

There is a huge impact on our study systems during these pandemic days. Our class is now connecting through the online platform. On one hand, it is very difficult and not at all effective than offline classes. Students are facing lots of problems through online classes like lack of clarity, range issues, etc. It is very difficult for the parents of small children to compel them to sit in front of a phone by hearing their classes. But on looking to the other hand, it is effective and easy too. Because we can hear our classes from anywhere, at any time. We can hear the class from our own space in our comfort zones. We don't need to rush in public transports and no need to carry heavy bags on our shoulders, don't want to sit in classes with a hungry stomach, etc. We can hear and listen and study from our natural environment. Through the online class, we will have more opportunity to convey our ideas because all of the students will not have any fear through this.

We can reduce pollution too by reducing the use of vehicles in our online life.

WATCHING MOVIES:

Watching movies from a theatre is something that can express beyond words. There is a big screen, a high sound system, and also a large crowd screaming and clapping. But in an online platform, there is no screaming, clapping, no big screen, no high sounds. We will miss the real experience when we watch movies online.

Coming to online life, we don't need to go out every time and hence the fast food intake has been reduced and we started to depend on our delicious homemade food. And hence the chance to become infected or sick also reduced. 

Even though there are a lot of disadvantages to online life, online communication became Hobson's choice now. 

Offline communication has its beauty and depth. It is an experience.

 As a whole, both online and offline lives have their advantages and disadvantages. And now if there is no mean of online life, the world would have become stagnant. 

It seems there are two types of people; one who complement their offline social life with their online one, and the one who pretty much replace their offline life with online life. Extending our offline social network to online activities like chatting and social networking sites is a good way to attain a balance between both worlds.

Above all, we are now compelled to become familiar with online media too.

             ONLINE VERSUS OFFLINE

     One of the most of used terms after the pandemic is the term 'new normal'. The new normal in education is the increased use of online learning tools. The covid-19 pandemic has triggered new way of learning. All around the world, educational institutions are looking toward online learning platforms to continue with the process of educating students. The new normal now is a transformed concept of education with online learning at the core of this transformation. Today, digital learning has emerged as a necessary resource for students and schools all over the world. For many educational institutes, this is an entirely new way of education that they have had to adopt. Decoding and understanding these positive and negative will help institutes in creating strategies for more efficiency delivering the lessons, ensuring an uninterrupted learning journey for students. Online learning offers teachers an efficient way to deliver lessons to students. Another advantage of online education is that it allows students to attend classes from any location of their choice. It also allows schools to reach out to a more extensive network of students, instead of being restricted by geographical boundaries. Another adventage of online learning is reduced financial costs. Since online classes can be taken from home or location of choice, there are fewer chances of students missing out on lessons every student has a different learning journey and a different learning style. Some students are visual learners, while some students prefer to learn through audio.

             The main difference between online and offline learning is location. With offline learning, participants are required to travel to the training location, typically a lecture hall, college or class room. With online learning, on the other hand, the training can be conducted from practically anywhere  in the world. Participants simply need to log on to the internet from their home, work or even their local coffee shop.

      Another difference is the flexibility offered online learning usually has a more flexible time scale. With offline learning, it is typically carried out between office hours and doesn't offer as much flexibility to the learner or the trainer.

       Besides these two differences, the benefit of learning online or offline are practically the same. Online qualifications are just as internationally recognised as offline ones and the standards of learning are also identical.

      For many students, one of the biggest challenges of online learning is the struggle with focusing on the screen for long period of time. Another key challenge of online classes is internet connectivity. While internet penetration has grown in leaps and bounds over the past few years, in smaller cities and towns a consistent connection with decent speed is a problem.
