I believe one of the major reasons for the invention and introduction of social media is to make communication a lot easier, hence making people more social. But the reverse has been the case so far. these days we have a lot of persons who are now addicted to social media and have become socially awkward outside the social media.

I agree with you to some point. Gadgets and apps on social media had become anti social because there is no personal social interaction. What happens isna virtual socialization process which is temporary in nature. When the account is closed or inactive the process of socialization ends.

I agree that social media does make people less sociable. People just communicate via social media. There is less personal face to face interactions. That said, I think that also depends on the personality of the individual. Some people can be active in social media as well as in the real world.

Social media was meant to bridge the gap on how people approach social life. It is serving it's purpose because it created virtual sociability.
