The development of society and the needs of commerce creative different types of the media. In modern society, people more focus on the information of the media such as we spending times on Facebook, WhatsApp and so on. But here is the interest thing that we are more keen on communicate online instead of face to face. Especially for the teenagers, Charles argued that the teenagers spend more than 12 hours on the social media, they use movies and games and so on to enrich their life, therefore, they prefer to make new friends on the internet rather than in the real life. The increasing media make us get less interaction with others. Finally, fewer interactions lead to conflicts between family and social communication.
