What do you think about social media? I think social media help people in various ways.

There are a lot of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. These sites are not harmful because they help us maintain relationships with other people.

You can make friends online easily via social media and have a good talk with your real friend. You can spend time with friends offline, but there are some restrictions about locations and time. On social media, however, you can talk with your friends wherever and whenever you want.

In addition, social media has an advantage in terms of price. If you talk with somebody using cellphone messages or voice call, you have to spend money. It does not cost much money if you only send a single mobile message or make a phone call just once for a minute. But you are likely to spend more time and money if you use mobile messages or voice call.

As long as you are connected to the Internet via a free WiFi, you don’t need to spend any money for using Facebook or Kakaotalk. In other words, you can save money if you use social media to communicate with your friends.

For these reasons, I think social media are good for people, and I recommend that you use social media services.
