Option 3 is the most effective.

Why: it gives a clear causal mechanism (“allow people to share experiences, news, and information almost instantly”) and makes a specific, debatable claim (“bringing young people closer together than ever before”), which is exactly what you want for an argument.
Why the others are weaker: #1 is vague and absolute (“every day”) with no mechanism; #2 undercuts the thesis by immediately conceding the opposite.

Suggested tightening: "By enabling the instant sharing of experiences, news, and information, technology and the Internet have brought young people closer together than ever before."

Tip: follow this claim with concrete evidence (social media, gaming communities, shared cultural trends, cross-border collaboration, messaging apps) and address likely counterarguments briefly.
