Contact with people through social media platform is indeed becoming more popular. Although this has several advantages, the drawbacks may be far more significant. On the other hand, there can be some minor benefits of contact through communication technology. One possible advantage is that people have the opportunity to connect with their acquaintances conveniently, which allows them to contact their friends, family, and colleagues everywhere. For instance, young students, who study abroad or arrive in the city to study at universities , may call to their family through Messenger, Twitter when they remember them very much. Another beneficial effect could be access to new opportunities and information, thereby providing them the opportunity to find a new job or a scholarship in a post on Facebook and Twitter. This stems from the fact that many companies and schools use social media platforms to find their candidates.
Nevertheless, the using Facebook and other platforms in communication can have major downsides which overshadow these positive impacts. The most obvious issue could be the lack of emotion in contact with people, which makes difficult it for them to build a close sentimental connection. This is because people often have an argument or misunderstanding just caused by texts or calls which do not have emotion. Therefore, people lose the opportunity to contact directly, which hinders the development of their communication skills. By way of illustration, juveniles tend to be unable to express their emotions or control overwhelming emotions when they have a problem .Anther drawback worth mentioning is that people tend to abuse social media platforms, which means that people seem to crucially depend on online communication. Consequently, they often have a horrible habit using Facebook , Twitter regularly, and thus may lead to a sedentary lifestyle.
In conclusion, despite the potential benefits of people contacting on social media platforms , the drawbacks involved are of greater significance.
