Hello Everyone.

Yes, Social Media connects the People.

I can justify my statement with the Following Mentioned Reasons.

1) Through Social Media, you can get any update from any part of the country within a Fraction of the time. If something happens in any part of the world, you get Quick Updates within half an hour.

2) You can talk to your Friends, even with your family members, and also with strangers across the world instantly.

But yeah, it has some negative impact also:

Today, we live in the world of AI, and someone is keeping an eye on you through the dark web, and you may not be aware of that.

Also, at the same time, rumours get spread through social media very instantly.

And last but not least, due to Social media, the government of a country also gets changes.

Like Nepal is the Example that we have.

Yes, I agree with that.
Nowadays, social media has become an unavoidable part of our lives. And of course, we can connect to our loved ones without a feeling of missing. But certainly, there are many demerits; the overusage of social media leads to loss of memory power in every one of us. We spend too much time on social media and are not bothered about our surroundings.

Hi everyone,

Social media do connect people living in different geographical area and help them to know the current scenario of that place within a fraction of time.

Nowadays, it has become a form of contacting our known ones at any time and from any corner of the world.

Though social media has gifted us with so much of its positive attributes, it also has a certain negative impact as well.

1) Fake news or rumours spread rapidly life forest fire which can hamper the life of an individual.

2) After the introduction of AI, social media has become a dangerous place to showcase yourself, as everyone is keeping an eye on you through the dark web.

3) Social media has created so much impact on our youth, which results in vandalism in one country eg Nepal.

If you ask me, social media does connect people, but not completely.
In our parents’ time, people met face-to-face and stood by each other during difficulties. Now, we may know many people online, but not all of them are truly there to help us. Some only pretend to be supportive, and it’s only during struggles that we see who really cares.
So, social media connects us with many people, but mostly in numbers, not in quality relationships.

Hello everyone.

Social Media Actually Connecting People, because if social media did not exist, then I guess people is not be as socially connected as they are today. Social media connects people all almost every field, like study, jobs everything. Nowadays, social media is a big opportunity also for earning money because you just share your life routine in the form of vlogs and earn money and also connect to people.

So conclusion is: Yes, social media is actually connecting people in different ways.

Hello everyone, I'm Kumaran.

In my opinion, social media connects people from all over the world.
If I don't have any social media means, then I can't able to get to know anyone except the place where I'm going.
I can't able to know what is going on between the countries like the Ukraine war, and Donald Trump's tariff taxes on India.
The 500 billion project is going on in America, Texas, it covers the area of almost 800-1000 acre, which is the largest AI infrastructure in the world.

Hi everyone,

According to me, Yes, Social media is connecting people.

* It bridges geographical gaps by allowing instant communication worldwide.
* Helps maintain relationships and reconnect with old friends/family.
* Provides platforms for communities with shared interests (education, hobbies, causes).
* Useful for networking, career growth, and awareness.
* Promotes virtual connections but reduces face-to-face interactions.
* Creates superficial relationships; likes and comments don’t equal real bonding.
* Addiction leads to isolation, stress, and mental health issues.
* Spreads misinformation and creates echo chambers instead of genuine understanding.

Yes, social media connects us with the people around us.

But the connection is a little bit different from the old-time connection.

As social media provides us virtual or we can say digital platform where we can connect with anyone by sharing our work, ideas, thoughts, achievements and many other things.

This virtual platform is designed for us to connect with people who are far away from us.

But the people who are close to you or live beside you, then there is no use in social media. You can connect with them directly without a digital medium.

According to me. YES, social media is connecting with people in terms of sharing their thoughts, information with their parents, friends, people who are staying in the abroad, and it connects with different people persons like users of Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Twitter and many platforms. I think it helps in preparing competitive exams, now a days it is easy for everyone has a assessble to the different courses they want to prepare, which are available in YouTube, and even subject classes are also available, so we can listen to these classes wherever we want.

As we all know that a coin has two sides, similarly, in this topic, we also have positive and negative impacts of social media.

The positive side is, users of LinkedIn may connect directly with managers of the company so that, we can interact them and likewise, their are good opportunities in searching for jobs, connecting with industry managers, HR's, etc.

Negative side are, people using social media platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube not for educational purposes, they are using it for to do the timepass, and wasting of their valuable time.

Hello Everyone.

Today's topic is : Is social media actually connecting people?

As we all know, every coin has two sides so,

Social media has also both good and bad, but in my opinion, most of us are using in a good manner because students use it for studying, graduates use it for jobs, talented people use as a talent showcase and many more but some people who have no ethics use it in a bad way to put somebody down.

So in this new generation era, social media has great impact on a person's life because it gives information all around the world.

A few examples of social media that are very useful are LinkedIn, Nokri, WhatsApp, etc.
