Explanation:

Communication can be defined as a process which typically involves the transfer of information from one person (sender) to another (recipient), through the use of semiotics, symbols and signs that are mutually understood by both parties.

An effective communication medium (channel) ensures that messages or information are transmitted properly, guarantees a feedback, lacks the use of harsh tones, ensures both parties are well understood, gives room for clarity etc.

Social media has significantly helped to bridge gaps in the communication as end users are able to send and receive messages in real-time without any form of delay. Also, social media platforms facilitate the connection of friends, families, and co-workers to connect with each other to share memories, knowledge and ideas without being physically present in the same location through the use of social network services such as Face-book, Insta-gram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Zoom, Sk-ype, Hangout, You-Tube, etc.

Hence, social networking is a type of social media that encourages individuals to connect with each other.
