Social Media has helped us increase our virtual networks. This has isolated us physically, making us socially awkward in person. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give your opinion.

Nowadays, technology is playing an important role to connect everyone to a virtual world via social

media

websites

such

as Facebook, Orkut, and LinkedIn.

However

, it is

also

true that same has the negative effects due to the separation of physical interaction. I strongly agree with

this

proposal and I shall argue that how its proponents are correct.

To begin

with, the use of social

media

has been increasing tremendously since 2012, when Orkut was launched for the

first

time as the topmost social

media

website. Before that, individuals used to interact via cell phones and emails. Later on, Facebook came into the picture and won the hearts of the public all around the world by facilitating as the mechanism to post and share pictures and videos of loved ones. Because of

it has

also

created a physical distance among society. Does the aforementioned is making us socially awkward? In my opinion, it is difficult to express emotions and feeling in words.

For example

, to feel the love and affection of your child, you have to be present physically.

Similarly

, couples in a long-distance relationship are less happy as compared to the couples who meet on regular basis, because people can read the facial expression and body language more closely in person. Recently, an article has been published in "The Hindu" newspaper which indicates that relationships via social websites are more prone to be broken as they have a lack of trust. To conclude,

Although

social

media

can be a good tool to enhance your virtual network wheres it has

also

created a physical vacuum in their life. I believe, physical interaction with your loved ones is important as your virtual interactions of social

media

.
