In this age of information, social media has become a consistent factor in our lives. It has different contents, topics, and communities. It also encourages multidimensional communication through many of its social platforms that present or facilitate involvement opportunities.

While there are many disadvantages to online social networking there are also major advantages. In the past two (2) years, isolation has been emphasized in the increase of loneliness among people globally. Social isolation has been defined as ” a state in which the individual lacks a sense of belonging socially, lacks engagement with others, has a minimal number of social contacts and they are deficient in fulfilling and quality relationships”.

Having easy-to-build relationships and connecting to like-minded people are just a few advantages of an online social network. This creates a space to share knowledge and experiences which are reliable and helpful to each other. Eventually, this space becomes a community that can create change and structure around isolated individuals.
