Today our topic to discuss "is social media connecting people",
I give my opinion on both sides because on one side it connects people who are living far away from you and you can be present in touch with them on the side it's only connecting people who are living far away but disconnecting people who are living near to you so interpersonal interaction and connection will not develop with near ones so, as of my opinion it's a two-way tool.

Hello everyone my name is Archita,
I want to start off by presenting a question that there are always two sides to a coin, right?
So although it does connect people on a superficial level, it does more harm than good if not used correctly. For adults, it is a medium of communication, building new connections, and discovering different things. But, is it equally important for teenagers too? The answer would be no.
Social media is a bane disguised in the form of a boon. It leads to insecurity, peer pressure, anxiety, and fear of missing out among teens and creates a generation gap among them. They try to impersonate adults whom they like without giving it a second thought, all for public attention and to look cool and trendy. But little do they realise, how harmful it is going to be for them. Teens spend hours every day doing nothing productive but consuming reels, short videos which come one of another as you keep on scrolling through them.
Based on our interests, platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube will keep on giving us similar content that we like and we endlessly consume them, thus falling into an endless loop of depression and lack of productivity makes them dull. Therefore, it is entirely on ourselves how we utilize this tool. If used wisely, it can open new doors of opportunities but misuse of it can become a trap that robs us of our time, self-worth, and peace of mind. Remember, technology is a servant, not a master—let's use it to empower ourselves, not enslave us.

Hello everyone,
So we all are living in the digital era in which social media are becoming an essential part of our lives. I think in my opinion social media certainly helps us to connect with different kinds of people in all over the world. We have a different kind of social media websites and applications in today's time each connects the people but serves different purposes for example.
Instagram is an application which connects people and helps in sharing some good content related to entertainment, values and knowledge.
Linkdin is an application which connects professionals from all over the world and helps people to find a good job.
Youtube is something which provides different kinds of knowledge by connecting people.
Apart from that, we have WhatsApp, X and other websites which help us to connect with our relatives as well as many other people in the world.

Good morning everyone one.
As my point of view, social media plays a crucial role in our life. It has both advantages and disadvantages that depends on the user.
The advantage of social media is:
It is mostly helpful for students to gain the knowledge and it connects the people globally which helps to transfer the information very easily and fastly.
The disadvantage of social media is:
We are using some entertainment applications like instagram and facebook which has both advantages and disadvantages.
Now a most of the people are addicted to this applications.

Hello Everyone!
Today, we are going to discuss "Is Social media connecting people?".
Yes, it's connecting. Now, we can see from two points of view. Every coin has two different sides; according to that, there are also pros and cons available in social media.
It was very useful to connect with people in long distances, and also we are not speaking to the people who are all in our nearby location.
The conclusion is "FACE YOUR PROBLEMS, DON'T FACEBOOK YOUR PROBLEMS".
Thank you!

According to me, social apps help to connect people in so many ways, and they are gaining so much knowledge about society, about business to improve their skills etc. People can connect with anyone through social applications like Facebook, Instagram, etc. They are also proving themselves by showing their dance, singing, arts, etc. By doing this so many people also want to improve their skills and perform his/her talents in these social apps.
Social apps also help to communicate with anyone where they are in this world to make new friends we can chat with them and call. It helps to communicate our skills through social media. And by this social media, we can watch what happens in our society. We can watch news channels and accidents in our society.
Thanks for this opportunity, and this is my opinion about social media is connecting people.

Of course. Social media is connecting people (who know how to effectively and appropriately use it).
As said by many of them, they connect people who are far but in the current scenario, it is actually distancing people who are close. The coming generation is going to face a major setback regarding face-to-face communication.
And if we do not use it judiciously, there will be a time when misinformation will overshadow the REAL facts and also not to mention the issues of addiction and isolation.
Social media is a powerful means of connecting and communicating only if it maintains a balance with all the traditional means of communication or it would be that we are trying to connect digitally at the cost of social connections.
