Some people tend to think nowadays that social media has had a negative impact on communication between people, while others believe that it has made communication easier. I believe that it has simplified the way people communicate.
One reason why social media can negatively affect communication is that it can discourage people from seeing each other face to face to greet each other and hang out. This is because social media can make people rely more heavily on their phones. For example, instead of meeting a friend in person, you can simply call them. Therefore, people may have less face to face interaction with their friends.
On the other hand, social media can also have a positive impact on communication. Since social media existed, it has made communication simple, easy, and reliable. This is because social media has made it easier to communicate with someone who is far away. Messages arrive instantly when you text someone, and you do not have to spend money travelling just to speak to them. For example, a person could be on the east coast of America while the person they are talking to is on the west coast, so they do not have to travel to communicate. Therefore, social media makes communication easier and more convenient than communicating solely in person.
In conclusion, social media has a negative effect on communication because it limits face-to-face communication. However, it also has positive aspects, such as messages arriving instantly and not having to travel to talk to a person. Overall, I believe that social media has made communication easier and more convenient.
