In my opinion, social media can do both like connecting new people and disconnecting remaining people like family, friends etc.

Nowadays all are using social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. These apps are connecting new people.

And making new friends. It is a good thing and at a time it has so many disadvantages like so many people addicted to social media and neglecting their families, friends etc.

Social media helps us to communicate with long-distance people and make new friends and know about things happening around the world.

Finally, I conclude that social media helps us to connect with people and also it leads to neglecting our own family members who are living with us.

The name social media itself means a medium to connect people socially. Yes, indeed it is connecting people, may it be connecting it with our family and friends or making new friends. You can share your memories with your near and dear ones. However, there are some negative elements as well which make us doubt the usefulness of these platforms.

Yes, Social media really connect people from different geographies.

As, it is helpful for circulating their messages to the people. Also, It is helpful for promoting our business on social media apps.

When it comes to the disadvantages:
It is impossible to us to follow safety measures on social media, because there are chances of cybercrimes.

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.

Obviously, social media is really connecting people. As a matter of fact, evolution exhibits change. If we consider the olden days, there is no proper medium for the propagation of messages, so people used to make use of sparrows for transmitting messages over long distances. Nevertheless, now if we click on a button, the transmission takes place within no time. With the advent of cutting-edge technologies, everything got altered. People are connected, Irrespective of the place and distance between them because of most happening social media platforms.

Hello everyone, i would like to say pros of this topic -That yes ,social media is connecting people all over the world..
REASON

a) That all children who work in another place not on birthplace are connected to their family, and relations through social media.
b) for example- students who are preparing for exams don't talk to their family members and close ones but they are in touch through WhatsApp (a social media platform), they knew everything about others through social media platforms because they put stories and all...
c)All who are working don't have time to contact daily to everyone but they have touched through social media.
d)All seniors who are placed remain in touch with social media platforms and help juniors and if any student gets placed in the same company then they contact through social media.
e) We can communicate with unknown HR executives by finding out on various social media platforms.

Hello everyone, I would like to share my view on this topic.

I should say that it definitely helps people to connect when their far from each other but it makes one forget his own belongings with whom they live. It has got both pros and cons.

As it helps many to connect with people, in the other hand it makes one addicted to it and it makes one forget how to communicate effectively without the usage of keyboards and emojis in personal.

Yes, social media has become a lifeline of people. These days many things depend on social media for example it provides a platform to grow business, create content and share important events of life with people. But the main point of this topic is social media actually connects people. It is a medium of interaction. It became a boon for those who left friends, and colleagues at any stage of life and suddenly they want to interact and also play a vital role for overcome any kind of depression and anxiety. Social media create a support system for example if anyone feels gloomy and wants to express their feelings so social media became a platform for feelings. So these days lots of examples are available. But anything has two aspects these days people are busy with reels, stories and other things on social media no one is ready to understand the others. Because somewhere lack of communication, understanding etc. My conclusion is that social media really connect people. If anyone gets a loyal person because these days social media has a lack of trust. Social media is a blessing for people around the world.

The question of whether social media is actually connecting people is one that has caused much discussion and debate in recent years. On one hand, social media platforms have made it easier than ever for individuals to connect with each other, regardless of geographic location or cultural background. Social media has given people a way to share their opinions, experiences, and ideas on a global scale, creating a sense of community among people who may have never met otherwise.

However, there are also many critics who argue that social media is not really connecting people at all. They point out that social media interactions are often superficial and lacking in depth, with users frequently focusing on presenting a curated image of themselves rather than engaging in genuine conversation. Moreover, social media can contribute to the spread of misinformation, propaganda, and fake news, which can further divide people and erode trust in institutions.

Another concern is the potential negative impact of social media on mental health. Research suggests that too much time spent scrolling through social media feeds can lead to increased feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Additionally, social media has been linked to cyberbullying and other forms of online harassment, which can have serious psychological effects on victims.

In conclusion, while social media has certainly created new opportunities for people to connect with each other, the question of whether it is truly connecting people is a complex one. While some may argue that social media has brought people closer together, others maintain that it is actually driving us apart. Ultimately, the impact of social media on human connection may depend on how we choose to use it and what measures we take to mitigate its negative effects.

Hello Everyone.

In my point of view, yes, social media is connecting people undoubtedly.

And In the present time, all people are connecting through social media.

Because all the people are busy in their own life and all people are using social media.

For connecting because People have no time to physically meet each other.

So social media is very useful for connecting people.

In the present time, social media is open for all people to present their own opinion freely.
