Nowadays, social media has changed the lifestyle, more people used to contact each other in social media and sharing something interesting via the platforms. In my perspective, the drawbacks outweigh the advantages.
On the one hand, social platforms closer the distance of people around the world, it shortens the way of communication. For example, sending a letter to another country in the past needed couples of weeks to deliver it. However, developed technology help us to use different method to send a message, such as internet and mobile. It brings a quick changing life make people feel convenient to connect with their friends or family.
In contrary, the more we use social media, we ignore our surrounding more often. When someone is chatting with you in-person, a message comes up from the mobile. At this moment, you may pick up the phone and try to reply for the message. This is how distraction happened. On some occasions, it may let people feel ignored by someone. In addition, people usually share something through the application, it seems like a good way to keep up with your friends. Nevertheless, when it is a face-to-face meeting, you just nothing to talk and share with your friends. This kind of behaviors make meeting people in-person unnecessary.
In conclusion, using a social media can make our life convenient and easy to contact with people. There have lots of drawbacks leave behind this consequence, it may people feel unfamiliar with each other in real life or even colder. It might be even worse.
