Social

Media

has definitely evolved over the past few years.

Such

social

media

like

Facebook

and

Twitter

have served its function tremendously.

Facebook

was first created to serve as a directory of information to college students, and

Twitter

on the hand was created to become an online platform for sending short messages to small groups of people similar to sending text messages via mobile phones. Over time,

Facebook

and

Twitter

have developed far more than their main purposes. Currently, these social

media

platforms are being used not only as information websites but

also

for other usage. Nowadays, these platforms are used to replace face-to-face communication, especially during the peak of the pandemic. And many people have realized that life can and still continue even without going out of their homes,

hence

, the continued use of these platforms for different functionality. Yes, social

media

such

as

Facebook

and

Twitter

have delivered varied projects; personal, business and even educational aspirations.

However

, we cannot deny the fact that society still needs to breathe fresh air rather than be cramped in the four corners of their homes, sitting in front of their computers or phones the whole day.

For instance

, through

Facebook

or

Twitter

Add a comma

,Twitter

show examples

we can do shopping online ,Yes it is convenient and even hassle-free,

nonetheless

, there is no assurance and

this

is for a fact, that the products ordered online are of their best quality.

Due to

the fact that we didn't see the product ourselves, but only through photos posted on the website. Buying shoes and clothes online can

also

serve as an example, there are people who needed to try out shoes and clothes when they go shopping simply because one's physical structure may be different from the product quality or making shown online.

Therefore

, I conclude that the advantages of

this

development don't outweigh its disadvantages. I believe that we always have to consider each person's preferences, from food, clothing, accessories and others alike, and that everyone has their own taste of preference, may it be in products, communication or even relationship.
