With social media, we can keep updated and get the latest information in almost real time, which is a great help in our studies, work and life. Due to a few simple but important reasons, I prefer living in a society with a variety of social media.

First and foremost, social media can help us make more friends. Many people are afraid of communicating with others in our daily life, but with social media, they can overcome this psychological barrier and begin to talk with others.

Second, one of the biggest benefits of social media is that it can make our lives more convenient. For example, if you wanted to interact with a friend living a long distance away in the past, it might take a long time and a lot of effort to do so. Now, you just need to make a video call with a simple click on your smartphone.

Third, social media can also make us feel less stressed and even relaxed. With so much interesting and useful information, videos and games on the Internet, social media can distract us and help us escape our sadness quickly.

Last but not least, we can have access to more information by using it. As long as we work hard and confirm the information is true, we can learn a lot of things that cannot be learned at school. So, social media is now part of our lives, and with it, we can gain much more than we can ever say.
