People are losing the value to face communication.

What impact might social media have on face to face

communication?

The communication in the modern world plays a very important role in the life of every person.
Some people prefer face to face communication, meeting with friends, spending time together.
However, many people devote more time to communication on social networks. Why do people prefer
social interaction and what influence might social media have on live communication?

First of all, social communication is a good opportunity to communicate with people from other
countries, because a meeting is sometimes impossible. For instance, if you study or work in another
country, the communication on social networks helps you to constantly communicate with family and
friends. Secondly, using social networks you can ask a question that interests you, send a photo or a
document, while in life it is very difficult to do it. Finally, in my view, the social communication helps us
to quickly contact a person and ask for the information we need. I think, the social communication will
always be very popular.

On the other hand, the social communication may have not only a positive impact, but also
cause some negative issues. The main disadvantage of virtual communication is that people are losing
the value to face communication. In face to face communication people are withdrawn, afraid to
express their opinion and maintain a conversation, while the communication on social networks helps
them to be themselves, to speak freely and not to be afraid. People choose virtual communication,
because it is much more convenient and more pleasant than communication in life, but they do not
even notice that they are completely becoming dependent on social networks. For example, some
teenagers make virtual friends with whom they constantly communicate, which leads to the fact that
they move away from real life, stop spending time with family and do not meet friends in life. In my
opinion, the social communication destroy not only the value to face communication, but also close in
themselves.

To sum up, the social networks have both positive and negative aspects. In my view, the social
communication completely turned our life around and makes it possible to communicate with family
and friends at any time. However, don't forget about face to face communication, personal meetings
and spending time together. After all, our life lies in communication, in new acquaintances, and not
depending on the virtual world.
