The use of Social Media is replacing face-to-face contact with many people. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Nowadays, the digital environment has made a significant impact on the world in terms of providing a high degree of convenience level.

As a result

, the usage of online applications has enabled to change the dynamics of conversing between individuals. In

this

essay, I will decipher both sides by weighing the advantages and disadvantages. On one side, the merits of using

media

can not be questioned as a lot of online

apps

provide a solution to consumer problems.

In other words

, at times of facing difficulties, few people rely on these social

apps

in order to socialize with their loved ones.

for example

, In 2020, a disruption that was created by a pandemic (covid-19 virus) made a halt to the way the individuals communicated in real life. At these times, a vast majority of people switched over to a virtual environment

instead

of normal face-to-face interactions.

furthermore

, online video calling

apps

had emerged and assisted each and every individual to interact, work and engage in social activities online. On the other flank,

although

online

media

networks provide great assistance to personal interactions, it has drawbacks

also

. Not all were satisfied by these digital

media

facilities as there were some individuals who were reluctant and

also

considered an unsuitable mode of conveying what the person really meant to convey.

for instance

, a recent poll conducted by a university highlighted that preferences for face-to-face communication were on the higher side than interacting virtually. Since most of them didn't enjoy the experience that they had with real-life interaction. To sum up, it can be rightly reiterated that the usage of social

media

applications is going to increase rapidly in the foreseeable future and will improve individual-to-individual communication through online

apps

.
