Artificial Lives: Good or Bad?

7,5 billion people live in the world, and more than 3 billion people use
social media. That’s why; it is highly significant in human life. The thing which is so
important in our lives can not only improve our lives but also damage it excessively.

There are three reasons why social media improve our lives. The first reason is
that social media is accelerating communication. For example; you are in Canada, but
you can learn what happens in Spain at the same time. Another example is that you
can talk with your friends face to face, so you do not have to visit your friends
physically. Secondly, social media is a good place to meet new friends. For instance,
you can meet new friends from your country, or even from another country; thus, your
self – confidence may increase. Lastly, people are freer with social media. For
example, if you want to investigate something without social media, you have to read
all books to find it. However; you can research information quickly with it because we
have unlimited access to information.
