Is Social Media Actually Connecting People?

Hi All,
My name is Shruti Singh.
I agree that social media is actually connecting people. As this site provides us with the opportunity to represent our thoughts to everyone.
So, I think they also connected us with each other because I learned some thoughts above there and I also decided to share my thoughts with all of you. This is the first time that I am sharing my thoughts on social media and because I am an introverted person sometimes it's quite tough for me to present myself to anyone.

But on social media, you talk and express your thoughts freely. So, I think they connect people.
But as everyone says everything has its pros and cons.
So, it depends on us how we are using it.
Of course, you can share your thoughts or feelings on social media but please be aware of your limits.
I think social media is good as well as bad
So, it depends on how you are using it.

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I'm Nitya. In my opinion, social media is really connect people across the globe which is amazing. Well everything has its pros and cons while this contains too. Social media can make you get in touch with your childhood friend and your relatives. We can use social media in an effective manner if we know how to use it properly. If you are shy and socially awkward person then you can totally express yourself in social media.

Some can misuse social media for posting offensive comments on the posts which will lead to hatred.

Finally, it's all in your hands how well you will utilize it.

Hello All,

Good Evening,

My name is Pranav Purohit.

Here, I am discussing about social media is that social media is connecting people or not.

My point about social media is that everything has its pros and cons. It depends on how people use this. People use social media not only for seeing reels or stories but also for business or entertainment purposes and to earn income as well. People earn huge amounts from Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and through social media, people get connected with others worldwide if they are away from people or in other countries.

But anything access in life is poison and social media is the same in this because there are chances for cyber crimes and our information and data will be hacked so we need to take care of our breaches.

It depends on how we use it. We should be aware of how to use social media.

Thank you.

Hello everyone! While social media connects people simultaneously, it's also ruining relationships and bonds in real life. People are forgetting to meet in person, relying too heavily on social media platforms. I believe social media is reducing the love between people.

For instance, if a loved one is sick, is it better to send a 'Take care' text or to meet in person and care for them? Meeting in person, of course! But people prefer to send a quick 'TC' text. Does that show caring? I don't think so.

Moreover, social media platforms are a huge drawback to confidence and creativity. People are relying on social media and forgetting how to be confident in reality. They're also forgetting how to think creatively because of AI, including myself. We're relying on AI so much that we're not using our brains anymore.

There's more to it, but everything must be utilized properly for our well-being.

And Finally, I want to say one thing: We all have brains, let's just use them instead of AI!

It won't be wrong to say that social media does "connect people". You get to know more about the lives of your loved ones. Distance does feel very small with the introduction of new technologies and social media platforms.

But something that it also does is disconnect you from the surroundings and the people around you. It gets difficult to distinguish a thin line between the virtual and the real world. The chances of this happening are bleak if you know how and when to use social media platforms.

In my opinion, technology can never be proved wrong if used with precautions and good motives.

Hello Everyone here, I'm Raghu, Today the topic to discuss is "Is social media connecting people".


Yes, I do agree with this statement But every coin has two sides where it is advantageous to adults but negative to most of Teenagers and children.
Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and educational platform like LinkedIn helps to connect people all over the world and share a different perspective of each other and it also helps connect with video, and voice calls with close ones. The adult people can connect and work on same project if the thought process matches and also gain a new different ideas. But it as negatively impacting teenagers and children most of them become slaves to these platforms and it is robbing them of entire time, productivity as well and peace of mind. This social helps in connecting people but also based on our interests its keeps on suggesting similar content which we would like to see, so it decreases most people's productivity. Remember one thing Technology is a slave, not a master and let's use it to empower ourselves not enslave us.

Thank you

Hello everyone,

I would like to say that yes social media helps us connect with people across the globe, my son is doing his job in the USA and his parents are in India, social media is a medium for them to connect.

Yes, I know every aspect of life has 2 sides a productive side as well as a destructive side but it all depends on us, how we use that tool, to make our life easily accessible or waste our time gathering vulgar content. We always have to see the positive side of social media because talking about the olden days back in the early 90s there is just a newspaper which was a medium of sharing information to the public and also it was a one-way communication others could not put or say their opinion but now in today's world we have social media platforms like news application, news pages on Instagram, Facebook which are spreading the news, information to every region of the world it a two-way communication platform where people give their opinion.

Here is a very good example of people connecting with the outside world, backward areas of India where people cannot travel to tier 1 cities but because of social media they can connect to the outer world and gain knowledge, and information, for example, a farmer can connect to a team of the weather forecast, student in the village can get access to online education just setting at there home.

Without moving from your work or place you can get access to everything at you want just at your fingertip.

Also, which type of data we have to see or consume all depends on what we are searching for or looking for, by analyzing our search history, watch history only social media analytics suggest us content if we are watching or searching for motivational, daily grooming, self-help content than social media will suggest us this type of videos to us.

Social media is not forcing us to make our id and use ait ll day Instagram and Facebook for entertainment purposes we are the ones who have to make their IDs on this platform to not get FOMO from society.

So, at last, I would conclude that social media is connecting us to untap areas across the globe.

Hi everyone.

My opinion is that, in these days social media plays a major role in all the platforms.

There are both advantages and disadvantages.

That depends on the uses.

If we use it for learning something or like LinkedIn or other helpful platforms or applications then.

It is fine.

But just like for entertainment purposes, we are using Facebook or Instagram or something like this type of application, It is addicted to our mind. There are so many disadvantages like underage child making reels that turned their life to hell.

I can't say about this that it will effect on this in the future.

No question that social media has revolutionized communication. As a result, we are becoming more knowledgeable, more direct, and in a lot of ways, more diversified. But the overall trend and actual fact is Social Media is connecting people those who stay far from you and isolating from your family or who are close to you. So you need to decide how you will handle or manage your social media and which is your necessity and which is your priority. It's difficult to make everyone happy, but if you can manage both your 'near' and 'far' that will be a great achievement in your life.

In the last five years, various social networking sites have taken the virtual world by storm. Now we have more friends on these sites than in real life.

Hi everyone.

Yes, one can say the social media like facebook, Watsapp, Snapchat are introduced to communicate with other people through the internet. But in real life we do not use it in a positive way. Many people use fake accounts to communicate with others with bad intentions. People try to compare with others to show off their social status. Nowadays people are too addicted with these social sites and ignore their daily necessary works even a five-year-old child has his account in social media. So we should not make ourselves as slaves of social media rather we should use when it is really necessary.
