Social Media (Anti-sociality)

Yes, I agree that that social media has made us less social. Nowadays, teenagers are often surfing online and even when communicating with their parents, they would send each other message online when they might just sit around 10 metres away.

Research has shown that if social networking sites contribute to the decline or decay of social skills, thus creating an antisocial mindset for people as they become more comfortable with socializing in an online world. Thus, teenagers now would prefer to talk to each other online than having a face to face chat as they became not used to the way to interact.

Hence, this might arise in a generation of young people who cannot communicate well as they could only rely on social network to ‘talk’ to people, and this will cause problems in their later live.
