3. Introduction
• The emergence of social media has created a new avenue for
facilitating daily information and communication needs. As technology
grows and expands our range of communication, social media is
becoming a vital tool for daily social interaction. It creates opportunity
for people to interact with each other in a way that is both helpful and
essential to socially motivate people. The rapid fire quick
communication style that captivates the millennials and other
generation has shifted our conversations from ‘face-to-face’ instances
to ‘through –the-screen’ ones.

4. What is Communication ?
• a process by which information is exchanged between
individuals through a common system of symbols, signs,
or behavior

5. What is Social Media ?
• Social media refers to the means of interactions among
people in which they create, share, and/or exchange
information and ideas in virtual communities and
networks.

6. Popular Social Media Tools and
Platforms:
• Facebook: The world’s largest social network, with more than 1.55
billion monthly active users ,Users create a personal profile, add other
users as friends, and exchange messages,
• Twitter: A social networking/micro-blogging platform that allows
groups and individuals to stay connected through the exchange
of short status messages,

7. • Instagram: A free photo and video sharing app that allows users to
apply digital filters, frames and special effects to their photos and then
share them on a variety of social networking sites.
• Snapchat: A mobile app that lets users send photos and videos to
friends.

9. Effects of Social Media on
Communication Skills :
• Decreasing the quality of interpersonal
relationships:
• Before the age of social media, people relied on face to
face interactions to strengthen relationships. Now with
social media, connecting with others has become
effortless. Unfortunately, this means that the way we
communicate has also changed, challenging our ability to
make more meaningful connections. Social media affects
our communication skills by decreasing the quality of
interpersonal relationships, prompting us to engage less
in real-life experiences,

11. • Often at events or parties, guests are attached to their
smart phones twitting or texting, but no one is truly
engaging or interacting with the people around them. As
more generations are born into the social age, social
media will continue to be the favored communication form
among young people. However, this shift may begin to
affect their ability to properly communicate in person with
peers.

12. • Losing of real friends :
• Facebook, Instagram, Twitter might have given us a lot of
online friends. But what about those whom we live
everyday with? The longer distances might have been cut
down, but the people close to each other are now going
far apart. People are much more interested in
communicating with their Facebook friends instead of the
real ones. The face to face communication is the primary
and most important aspect of general communication but
it has lost its importance because of social media,
resulting in the degradation of moral values in society

13. • the impoverishment of langage :
• Using messengers’ people often use shortened versions
of words in order to type and deliver their messages as
quickly as possible. Shortened versions like “k”, “ttyl”, “ur”,
“der”, “gr8”,”cu”,”tc” and so on completely ruins the
grammar and syntax. It also develops the use of slang
terms and sometimes people tend to forget that they are
neglecting the beauty of language when they are online
busy with the social media.
