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

However
, I think the issue is not a big deal anymore because the problem has been addressed with the emergence of quick-automatic

systems, or artificial intelligence (AI). Despite the numerous advantages offered by hybrid
communication
, the most prominent one is equality in
communication
. In fact, using social media platforms as a medium to interact costs less since

As a result
,
people
from every background are now able to communicate, regardless of their social status or economic conditions.
People
in Papua,
for example
, rarely meet their other relatives on different islands since their monthly wages cannot possibly afford them a travel or flight ticket. After online platforms are introduced, they can easily call or message their relatives with zero spending. I think that benefit has a greater significance, as it makes

To conclude
