Is Social Media Damaging to Personal Relationships?
Is widely known the use of social media had increased in the last years but
is social media damaging to personal relationships? I really disagree with
this statement.

Firstly, global situation had changed our daily activities, and all of these are
consequences from the Covid situation in the world and one important
thing was “stay safe home”, with this most people could not go to public
places, work, school, nor meet with family. Due to these barriers, the use
of social media increased, uniting family and friends again even them
cannot stay physically together.

In addition, there are a lot of studies, that show more than the 50% of the
population in the world, make use of social media, and just a few years ago,
that percentage was minor.

In short, if social media could damage our personal relationships, the

people would not use them, but as it is a good and unlimited way to
connect with other people near or far, it results very useful.
