The use of social media, e.g. Facebook and Twitter, is replacing face-to-face contact for many people in everyday life. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?
Social
media
can be useful and harmful at the same time
by us. Nowadays everyone uses social media
but some people use it in a bad way. By spending time
on social media
than In real life
.
First of all, I totally prefer to contact my community face-to-face for several reasons. First,
speaking In real life
made our relationships better. Second,
spending time
with friends face to face lets us know and feel real emotions. For example
, when I hung out with my best friend we laughed all the time
together and social media
can not give us that moment.
On the other hand
, social media
have many advantages. It keeps society in touch.Moreover
, all people share their good moments and news on Facebook or Twitter. Another thing, it makes the world small. For instance
, last
year I travelled abroad to study so,so I was called my family every day by Messenger, In that ,case I did not feel like I am alone any time
. Finally
, we should not forget that moment during Viros Corona we were nothing without social media
. There are some disadvantages, In my ,opinion if we depend on social media
for contact we will become lazy.
In conclusion, we decide if social media
is good or bad by seeing its effects on our life
. If the Internet takes hours from our time
and makes us lazy I totally agree the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. But if we have a balanced life
between social media
and the real world it is an acceptable and great invention.Submitted by mralryqy28 on
