Grammar, Usage / WPE at Cal State Long Beach question [3]

Hello,

I just took the WPE at Cal State Long Beach. English is my second language.

We were ask "to what extend do you agree or disagree" with a statement previously given (recent advances in communication technology may discourage personal communications and people skills).

I said that while I somehow agree with the statement, at the same time one can find many reasons against it. I proceeded by giving several (three) examples in each side and concluded that we cannot categorize the advances as being "good" or "bad"; they are just tools that can be used either way.

Was I wrong in taking both sides? Should have I focused in only one side of the argument and forget about the other?

Thank you,

Brad
