Social media is a broad term which includes networking in and around the world through the internet. We can connect to the people anywhere around the world. Through social media platforms we get to know about the lifestyle trends, the industry trends and we get ourself updated by it. Only because of social media it is possible to spread positive awareness, to promote brand and small businesses and some people also get jobs by creating content in social media platforms.

Atlast, I want to state that if it having positive point it also have negative point.

So, we should use it carefully and only for positive things.

Some social media platforms which we use daily is Instagram and linkedin.

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!

Yes, social media connects people far living friends and family connects like-minded people have a community sneak peek into the lives of your loved ones easier to stay connected and updated about your dear ones connects employers and employees, and customer and business pointers against just a means of fake self-reflection and false admiration focus more on showoff and beautification rather than real self disconnected to people in front and near you unable to make conversations in real world do not understand real human relations and emotions privacy concerns and cyberbullying.

Hello!

I think social media is connecting people all over the world. As we know we can connect or contact any people in this world with the internet and social media so it is beneficial for us human beings. But somewhere we are lacking in the real world because of social media.

For example, we have lost our thinking abilities and it's just because of social media and the internet or AI and our brain is not working or not thinking in general and it's always depending on Al or this internet.

Also, we are lacking in expressing emotions. People don't have time for their parents family or friends because of this social media so I think we are lacking somewhere in humanity.

Social media so far is the fastest platform to connect with people all around the world, even people taking advantage of it by learning different languages with the help of other people, people are reaching out to people for knowledge, some who cannot afford are learning through right person.

It's also helping them grow confidence, As far as I have seen people are getting more skilled and getting the right experience through social media.

Hello everyone, my name is Ramdhan.

Social networking sites are very beneficial nowadays. They allow us to connect with people who have similar interests and share our thoughts easily. People use these sites to find jobs and to learn many things by connecting with the right individuals.

We can share our thoughts with many people at once using social networking sites.

Additionally, these sites are used to showcase achievements and rewards.

So, I believe social networking sites are very advantageous for people.

Thank you.

You know all these points were correct, but there is a different side of social media it's not only about the knowledge we are getting or spreading, it's also about the emotions that we can perceive like from social we can respect our country and get to know more about our country and freedom fighters who had struggled for our country.

Besides that we can also spread our emotions about our parents, teachers and elders, if we are wrong in some of these we can also try to learn and correct our felling's emotional behaviour by observing other's social media profiles, like how they respect their parents, culture, society and nation. So as an account, social media is trying to not only connect people of the same interests but also try to build knowledge, values and feelings in people that can lead their lives, and the future of the nation in a better way.

So, I conclude that by social media we are getting better and growing better day by day.

In today's life we cannot live without social media. But, we think about sometimes if it is making our life better. Social media such as FB Twitter insta is helping us to connect to people all around the world. It has now become so easy for us to connect with friends and relatives whom we had met a long time ago and we might have lost connections due to some reasons. It helps in making those bonds stronger. But at the same time, it is disconnecting us from the people around us. We spend lots of hours on social media. As a result of this, we don't get time for our family, our loved ones, our parents and children.

So a balance needs to be brought between the time that we spend on social media and our family.

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.

As you said, There are lot of pros and cons to using social media,

I'm going with the positive side by using social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter we can connect with the people whom we know in real time it makes our relationship more strong. We get the information within a fraction of a second by using social media platforms.

And the other side of the coin, it has times we lose the connection due to some reasons, and we get invalid or fake information. Most of the cyber crimes are happening by using social media platforms by clicking links and saying OTPs to unknown candidates. Sometimes we spend an of time on social media platforms as a result of this we don't get time to our family, our loved ones and our parents and children.

So, by using this platform we must have care, responsibility and balanced time.
