Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The development of social media has led to an increase in connections between people through typical social networks, as it is easier for people to connect and communicate with each other online. Therefore, the number of people linked in social networks has increased, rather than decreased, and social media has helped to create larger and more diverse networks.
