has provided a convenient measure for people to interact and connect to each other and it has totally changed our society.

First

of all, with the social media,

such

as FB, IG and Twitter, people can communicate with others anytime and anywhere. It has broken the restriction of country and geography.

Besides

, people can know each other better. Their social media pages show how their life going and what they have done. People can know the details about others without meeting face-to-face. The

internet

seems like bringing people closer

Accept space

however

, the truth is, it somehow increased the gap between each other. It makes people more isolated and loses social skills. With the convenient method of communicating, people reduce the motivate and times to meet other people face-to-face. They are just typing anything happened, but seldom talk to the real people. As time goes on, they loss the ability of getting along with others in the real world gradually. They may afraid to talk to people without typing. In conclusion, the
