It is widely claimed that interaction by

tendency has great possibilities to happen.
To begin

this
rampant trend plagues our society and especially the younger generation. Kids are growing up socializing through social media

way of communicating. A clear illustration of
this
could be said to be that, recent research carried out by two prominent psychologists at MIT university has shown that interacting through social platforms like Instagram, Facebook and Viber, increase the production of dopamine which results in addiction.
In addition

issue.
Otherwise
, face-to-face communication will be eliminated.
