Social media has replaced the traditional methods of communication, and people use more and more social media to communicate, and to follow news and events. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages

#media #methods #communication #people #news #events
In today's modern world, social
media
 is getting more and more famous for providing good quality
communication
methods
 to society. There are numerous advantages of using social
media
 as
communication
 rather than traditional
methods
 which outweigh the disadvantages of social
media
. Social
media
 helps in
communication
 with other people of society who are living far from their own country like in Canada, Australia. They can make
contact
 with them anytime by using chat, voice or video call options on social
media
 applications like Whatsapp, Snapchat and many more. Through video ,call they can see other people
also
 while doing
communication
 which is an excellent feature of social
media
 applications.
This
also
 provides the feature of sending messages instantly to another person anytime and anywhere. So, we do not have to wait to send any message until the other person picks up the phone. Social
media
 is very helpful in busy schedules we can easily
contact
 our loved ones and send them texts if we are busy and unable to pick up their call. Nowadays, technology is very advanced as people can carry
communication
 devices like mobile phones with them if they go from one place to other. On a mobile phone, there is a feature of saving all the
contact
information
 of our relatives and friends. So, we do not have to remember anything. It is very easy to carry the device and have all social
media
communication
 facilities in it. Traditional
methods
 of
communication
 like news, events are useful but they are not much helpful as these are time-consuming
methods
. A person cannot receive necessary
information
 on time if anything happened. These
methods
 are useful only when we have to deliver some
information
 to the public about the current situation of society and country. The traditional devices which are used at home for
communication
 are not portable and not helpful in saving our
contact
information
 in it.
