These days, face-to-face communication is being replaced with online conversations using social media apps, such as Facebook, Twitter. Although there are several benefits, i believe that these advantages are outweighed by many disadvantages. The most important benefits is that social networking sites have made it much easier for us to keep in contact with everyone, regardless of geographic locations. For instance, students studying abroad can keep in touch with their families and friends every day by using the video call features of Facebook or other applications.. Another benefit is that these online conversations help us save a great deal of time compared to the traditional communication. To illustrate, it takes much time us to have a direct conversation because us must manage time, place of meeting. However, with only a smartphone or a computer connecting the Internet, we could have an appointment like in the real life.
