Interpersonal communication aims to create a common perception, change behavior and obtain information. It is essential to study communication media to deal with conflict. Humans, as social beings, cannot be separated from their social function. This is in line with Maslow's third-order theory, namely the social need to be loved and cared for. It is impossible if socialization is done without communication. Along with the sophistication of technology, to be able to change face-to-face communication into mediated communication.
