Social media's effect on society

With the growth of social media as a whole these past years, it completely changed the way in which we communicate with each other. By making it easier to share what we like or want with others, talking to people that are far away or sometimes unknown and a long list of other things that you can do. However, some think that it's growth brought about a negative impact in regards to our relationships and socializing with other people. When looking at how media has changed, and is still changing, social interaction that statement begins to take shape and has some points to make. 

First and foremost, the social media has simplified the way we communicate with each other. That would be seen as something positive though it's simplification made it so that people often prefer contacting with their friends via social networks instead of hanging out. The fact that they rather spend time looking at a screen than interacting with each other puts in doubt the relationship they share with one another.  It's been scientifically proven that spending time with someone is good for the health. Relationships are more fragile than ever since most of the times things can be taken out of context extremely easily, resulting in relationships coming to an end. 

In regards to the future of social media in society, it is hard to believe a world where social media would no longer have that much of an impact. The media keeps on growing and shows no signs of stopping any time soon. Due to that, relationships will most probably found themselves getting affected by the overabundance of social media. And given the current situation where people live and breathe social networks it is hard to believe that there would be a change whatsoever. 

To conclude, I believe that social media is having both a negative and positive impact on society. It evolved and simplified communication as a whole. Nevertheless, if we stop communicating face to face and we only talk to each other within social networks then we would, most likely, stop developing ourselves as human beings.
