Today, various social media are rapidly developing and are taking place in our daily lives. Most people have their own electronic devices and almost everyone has at least one social media.

However, as the online world develops like this, there is a growing voice that “actual human communication is decreasing” at the same time. 

Does social media really decrease human communication?

To mention the conclusion first, social media rather increases communication.

Communication refers to exchanging information or to express one’s ideas, thoughts and feelings to someone else. The point is, this doesn’t always have to be done in the real world. 

Society has changed these days, and people should start to adapt to the changing society. Communication on social media has no time or spatial limitations, and the range of people who can communicate is also much wider than in the real world.

Moreover, not only does it increase communication, but it also guarantees the depth of communication because people with similar interests can easily gather together. As mentioned earlier, this is why almost every people around you use social media platforms.

Social media is also useful for various tasks. 

First of all, social media is often used for various businesses. In particular, thanks to the advantage of being able to deliver the information to many people as soon as possible, it plays a very big role in the marketing business.

In the entertainment industry, the role of social media cannot be left out. 

In the past, celebrities had to be seen only on TV, but after entering social media in the entertainment industry, now celebrities and fans have been able to communicate two-way through various platforms.

Social media enables a wide range of communication with various objects that has never been imagined before. 

Therefore, in conclusion, social media is an appropriate place of communication suitable for modern society, which makes communication more active.
