The use of social media is replacing face-to-face interaction among many people in society. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

The real-life interaction is depleted by the emerge of social media among today’s people. From my experience,

although

there are evident advantages of having the Internet society, the drawbacks of lacking in

of people. On the Internet, there have been open sources available for the public to state their notions and comment their opinions which are good ways to stay updated.

On the contrary

first

drawback is that the relationship of people acquainting from the online conversation is unreliable. Due to the differences of social identities, each online account only allows little background information to be shown on their status, which make the criminals easier to beguile the victims. The financial thieves,

disadvantage is having lower ability to start conversations with actual people. There are many typical cases of romantic

although

the social media make us connect with the entire virtual world, they would drop our capabilities of socializing and increase the chance to experience the fake information. From all of the reasons, the disadvantages of using social media outweigh the advantages.
