The use of social media is replacing face-to-face interaction among many people in society. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

In the past, people communicate through face-to-face

interaction

. Nowadays, those types of

interaction

have been largely supplanted by social

media

.

While

utilizing these modern

platforms

have significant benefits, especially for education, I concede its drawbacks of having influenced youngsters in order that they are unable to speak to each other adequately and

also

the extensive use of it will pose a great risk of

depression

. One of the main advantages of social

media

is that it is a great boon to the education sector.

This

option has provided teachers with tools for supervising their students and giving them feedback on their studies whenever necessary.

By contrast

, previously, they had neither sufficient

communication

tools nor enough time to monitor their students’ development.

However

, it has, indeed, multiple disadvantages to consider.

Firstly

, these new

platforms

can degrade the quality of

interaction

between people.

This

is because these

platforms

enable consumers to share ideas without the benefit of sufficient reactions. These face-to-face reactions are the most important aspect of

communication

as they will shape our way of speech, and

further

, teach us musts and must-not in a simple

interaction

.

Consequently

,

this

knowledge will be worsened

due to

consuming social

media

extensively.

Secondly

, by using these emotionless

platforms

, individuals may fall into severe

depression

. Humans are interacting with each other in order to feel and receive attention through one’s reaction to our inputs. Using social

media

limits these reactions to a simple like or a comment which can cause

depression

through one’s misapprehension and assume that he is not getting enough attention.

For instance

, the advent of social

media

platforms

such

as Facebook and Twitter in the 2000s was followed by a parallel rise in the level of

depression

in Western societies. In conclusion, I would argue that the use of social

media

for daily

communication

has a number of benefits

such

as educational advancements

whereas

I believe these channels of

communication

have degraded the level of

interaction

as well as

causing

depression

in society.
