The use of social media such as Twitter and Facebook is replacing face-to-face contact for many people in their everyday life. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

It is true that technology and social

media

are becoming more and more developed. They become an indispensable part of our lives.

Although

there are some benefits of social platforms, I would argue that there are far more drawbacks The main benefit of the trend towards using social

media

is that we can make

friends

with a lot of people. To illustrate, we just need a click to add

friends

with someone on Facebook or just follow each other on Instagram to make new

friends

. People

also

create a lot of community that attracts an ever-widening circle of society having the same habits. Another advantage effect is we can easily get in touch with our

friends

and family.

For instance

, if our

friends

go abroad, we can not talk to each other.

However

, social applications contribute to connecting us with them. Social

media

play an important role in our lives and make it easier than ever Despite the positives mentioned above, I believe that social

media

is a negative development for various reasons.

To begin

with, there are several communication skill issues involved in using social platforms. Chatting too much with others in a virtual environment can leave us unable to talk with people in real life. We will become less confident and feel hard when we need to talk with someone.

Furthermore

, scammers appear more through social

media

. There have been a lot of scams on Facebook that have been posted on VTV. With the increase of scamming on social

media

, we should put more resources into developing our awareness In conclusion,

while

I recognise the possible advantages of social platforms, I consider it to be a negative development
