The rapid development of social media has transformed the way individuals interact, shifting communication from face-to-face to digital platforms that are faster and more efficient. While social media facilitates interactions, it diminishes non-verbal communication elements such as facial expressions and body language, which affects the quality of interpersonal relationships.

Communication in the social media era tends to be more superficial, with risks of miscommunication and over-communication. These changes also impact emotional closeness, social norms, and communication ethics, while creating the phenomenon of social media addiction, which hinders effective communication in real life.

Overall, despite its advantages, the shift in face-to-face communication requires attention to ensure that interpersonal relationships remain meaningful and of high quality.
