Abstract

This research aims to determine the extent of the impact of social media on interpersonal communication among Generation Z. This needs to be studied considering that Generation Z or Gen-Z is very active in using social media. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method conducted in the city of Banda Aceh. The qualitative approach was chosen because it allows in-depth exploration of the experiences, perceptions, and meanings individuals attach to the studied phenomenon. The research results show that social media plays a significant role in the lives of Generation Z. From the research that has been conducted, most Generation Z in the city of Banda Aceh use social media for positive purposes, although sometimes social media can also be distracting.
