The users of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, are replacing face-to-face contact in this century. Do you think the advantages of this way outweigh the disadvantages?

Currently,

although

new technologies, including social networking

websites

such

as Twitter and Facebook are creating a number of conveniences for individuals, they are leading to the weakened direct communication among people. In my view, it has both negative and positive sides as

this

may serve as a better source of interaction, simultaneously impact the quality of the conversation as well. From one perspective, numerous number of people want to contact with each other frequently despite considerable distance between them, so these modes of communicating are the most suitable. These

websites

provide people with the opportunities, including remote conversations, making new friends with someone that has similar interests which in turn may lead to the increased familiarity among the world’s population.

Nevertheless

, counterfeit of

this

development may occur as well when there are ill-intentioned individuals aimed at destroying the positive relationships among the social groups, or even nations by sending misleading information.

For instance

, in 2010 a group of ex-prisoners persuaded users of Facebook involving countless ordinary people to accomplish their uncompleted illegal tasks when they obtained approval by being in disguise as victims of false accusation.

Furthermore

, on social media sources, it is extremely challenging to maintain the effectiveness as real emotions cannot be shared without face-to-face conversation. Solely direct and real way of conveying information or ideas to another person would be more efficient than any others in many aspects of our life. I think that

this

does not only possess negative social factors, but

also

economical ones.

This

is due to the fact that business meetings or workshops organized on

websites

will possibly be lacking in the reliability of information and persuasiveness of leaders together which would be the contributor of failure in becoming approved and benefited.

This

could be justified by the experience of the Vergo company during the introduction of the new product collection, when online sale on social

websites

commenced the share of profit declined sharply than that of conducted by sales persons individually in the very sector of the market. To conclude, even though there are some merits of dominance of online social media usage over live interaction, disadvantages of

this

cannot be underestimated, I guess.

This

is because of possible negative influences on general public’s lifestyles, including relationships and economic aspects.
