Internet-based social media like facebook or twitter does not create distances between close relatives and friends
And the results were found in the study of the United States' University of Kansas researchers.
The use of social media such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. is driving people away from real social contact, face-to-face meeting, and the common ideas are so similar.
However, the researchers did not find any substantial evidence of this study. Therefore, their claim, if the relationship with a particular person is important to anyone, then social media can not have any adverse effects on it.
Jeffrey Hall of the University of Kansas, assistant author of the study, said, "It is not good to use social media because it is not harmful."
Researchers run two separate studies. Initially, information related to the use of social media usage of US youth was reviewed between 2009 and 2011. The purpose of this observation was to see whether there was any shortage of these direct access to their personal lives due to the use of these means.
"No relationship has been found." He said, "The everyday use of social media has not shown any adverse impact on the direct contact with family or friends."
Researchers believe that going out of the house, visiting or visiting a home or talking, talking on the phone or talking directly to the person.
In the second study, 116 people were employed. Each of them is sent five times a day for five days, asking for their social networking and the level of direct contact.
"It has been said that social media has no influence on people who are communicating throughout the day and what they keep talking about."
