Over the last century, humankind got huge thrives in applied

science. These days, usage of social media has become part of


our routine lives, which is replacing physical contact with others in
the community. In particular, this had both benefits and
drawbacks.
One the one hand, social media is an extremely convenient and
efficent way for people keep in touch without geographical
boundaries. Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter or Tiktok allow
people to share a variety of information quickly and easily. By
using social sites, more and more people becoming a famous
person by making unique content or post. In Vietnam, for
instance, a number of content creators became famous on
Facebook or Tiktok. Finally, social media is a good way for
receiving information and new, while it is a free of cost.
On the other hand, there are certain disadvantages to relying too
heavily on social media as a means of communication. For
instance, it can be difficult to really understand a person’s true
feelings or intentions when they are communicating by text or
online. Additionally, too much time spent on social media can lead
to a feeling of isolation, as people may feel like they are missing
out on real-life experiences with their friends and family. For
example, we might constantly check our messages to see if
anyone had invited we out, or focus on our Instagram feed all day
to make sure that nobody is doing something cool without you.
In conclusion, since the usage of social media is rising day by
day, it is observed that it was reducing face to face conversation. I
believe that the disadvantages of using social media outweigh the
advantages. However, it should be used as a supplement to
enhance communication between people who are physically
separated. This way, people can reap the benefits of social media
without sacrificing their physical relationships with others.
