Today, more people are choosing interaction with their friends on social media rather than go out together. In my opinion, this is a positive development which is easier, budget friendly and also has the same feel as face to face.
One of the advantages is that we can communicate with our friends anytime and anywhere without meeting head-to-head. Moreover, social media can allow us to expand our network, get a lot of friends, and also collaborate on business projects or discussions to gain insight and experience from different countries. For instance, one year ago, I made a new friend from the University of Azhar in Egypt on Instagram, we talked about our studies and discussed our study plans. which broadened my understanding about the education system there.
Another benefit is flexibility of online interaction. Furthermore, it helps introverted individuals and people with physical disabilities to reconnect with others without feeling insecure about their condition. In addition, it also can save time and the cost of transportations. That is to say, social media give us an easier and more efficient time and money.
Finally, social media platforms offer various interactive features such as video calls, voice messages, and live streaming, making virtual interactions more engaging. These features help maintain strong relationships, even for those who live far apart.
In conclusion, communicate by social media has more advantages in this era than go out together. It has effective and flexibility in our jobs, business and studies.
