Is Social Media Actually Connecting People?

To be honest, I agree with this statement.

Yes, it helps many people who are so far from their parents, friends and loved ones; this is the only way to connect with them regularly.
Some of them might be using this social media platform to connect with their known ones and keep them updated by posting about their personal life. Even if it helps them to access their people, how they are doing and all.

If anything, having an advantage obviously it would have disadvantages also.
*Due to a network issue, we couldn't connect with our loved ones regularly.
* If you post anything on any social media, it might be used by another person wrongly.
* Sometimes, our social media account will be led to hack by hackers.
I can conclude this by saying, it helps us to get connected with our people, but it won't feel good as we talk or meet in person.

Hi everyone,

As per my thoughts social media is very impacting our life with positiveness making new friends, knowing breaking news, employee opportunities, different people's connecting social media n share their success, so we also build our career with handwork using social media platforms. So, guys we people not see negative on social media take be positiveness.

Yes, social media connects alot of people.

In our lives without social media means a day wasted. We can learn new things which are important in our lives, it makes many people to connect with each other. It makes the world of unity. Social media makes half of our lives easier. Social media drives information faster than internet. It makes people who are in need, business organisations connect with the current and better world, generates employment.

Hello everyone.

I think that social media connects millions of people and thousands of friends.

But you have faced any problem in your life, on bady to you to not you this is a reality, but in real life to get help they beacuse the social media friend only reel friends. Real-life friendship is always true and honest.

Hello everyone.

In my point of view, I can say that social media is really connecting to people like it has a chance to build connections with their friends and they have a chance to communicate with others easily and another thing is it is not connecting to people like some of the people are using fake accounts and they are spoiling other's person's life also so we have to be careful while using social media.

While social media connects people globally, it may be weakening physical connections. Increased mobile phone use within families can reduce face-to-face interaction. This shift diminishes authentic communication, and the bonds and memories created through in-person experiences. Although, social media offers access to news, information, and educational resources, it can also lead to distraction, negative thoughts, and addiction.

No, I don’t think social media is truly connecting people today.

While it’s true that platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or X help us stay in touch and even make new friends across the globe, the reality is quite different for most users. Around 90% of what we see online is filtered or exaggerated — people often showcase only their best moments or even a completely fake version of themselves. This constant comparison leads to feelings of anxiety, loneliness, and even depression.

Today, we see a strange situation — even when four or five friends sit together in the same room, instead of talking or sharing moments, everyone is busy scrolling through their phones. That’s not a real connection; that’s isolation behind screens.

However, I do believe social media has potential — for people who know how to use it wisely. It can be a valuable tool for building meaningful connections, learning from others, or collaborating internationally. But at present, most people use it for validation rather than communication. So, for now, I would say social media is connecting devices, not hearts.

Hello everyone,

From my point view, I would like to say that social media is a one of the nice platform for social connectivity, and it helps us stay connected with those peoples who are not near us, through the social media we can interact with many thing that provide essential information which we needs to know however social media also harms your personal information and sometimes reflect in very bad, so we can not completely say social media platform gives only good connectivity, it also lacks emotional connection.

In my point of view, social media not connect people. I connection means not only sharing the data through the connection we have to share our personal information to others, through hopeful connection we have to share our emotional and feelings also, so social media will connect globally but not emotionally.

So may be social medial can connect device but not an believable persons, if we blindly believe someone may they make us foolish after some time it leads to cyberbullying so social media communication dangerous also, in my point of view, connection needs genuine communication.

Thank you.

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.
