Social media is connecting us with people who are either far away from us or whom we don't even know. In one way, we get to know about other people, their customs and traditions, etc but it leaves very little time to spend with the ones we are close to thus, disconnecting us from them. With the help of social media, we can connect with the government as well. We can share our opinions, feedback on the services they provide or the work they do. Thus, it is a way to connect with the government. Companies can connect with their customers and promote their offering.

According to me, social media really connects people.
For Eg. For the protest of jallikattu and sterlite, people were gathered with the information via social media.

My opinion about this topic is No, social media is not actually connecting people as in todays life everyone is using sources of social media like facebook, whatsapp, snapchat etc for making a fake connection with people what people do is they just click selfies, pictures of food and keep on posting it and usually show off to their friends. This shows that they aren't connected by heart and they are just connected by means of showing each other how much happy they are and how much they are enjoying but the thing is they actually don't know how to enjoy as at outings or at public places also they are using phone instead of having fun. Instead of connecting through social media people should go out meet new people try to interact with them, making plans with them, sharing their problems with them this will develop good connecting which is just by heart.

In my consent, it is actually not doing for what it came into existence.
Nowadays, parents don't have control over their children. Even a 5 year old now knows how to operate a smartphone and he/she is socially active on every social media website. Besides building contacts, this generation is just wasting their time refreshing the news feeds, tagging people and making vines. People are becoming more self oriented and selfish. They prefer meeting people on social media besides meeting the person personally. So, the social media is not connecting people, it is just making people more self-oriented, reserved and selfish in nature.

Social media is a medium through which we communicate, make new friends, share our opinions on everything, criticize each other, become the keyboard warriors.
In my opinion, it is not connecting people.
Social media is good if we use it properly so it is on us how we use it for our improvement or destruction. But nowadays people are got addicted to the social media and using it in a bad way and wasting their precious time. People are using it as a medium to show their happy times by clicking the pictures and posting it on social media. Instead of connecting friends on social media people should go out and try to interact them by heart.

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.

As per my opinion, social media is connecting new people and also connecting our family friends in an easier way but nowadays many people open the fake account in social media, for eg-fb; He/she communicate people with a bad intention. So many people who don't know the proper security they face many problems using social media.

Hello friends.
Is social media actually connecting people?
As everything in this world has two face. Likewise, social media connection towards people also has two faces. Yes, It connects the people worldwide. It connects the people who are in such a distance were we can't travel to meet them. So that we can mingle with different people belongs to different area, which makes us to know their lifestyle and culture. We can also get connected with professors, doctors, scientists or any professionals and make use of them to clarify our doubts. We can also get updated with things that happen worldwide. But on the other face it keeps us away from the people around us. Yes, myself suffered from this my sister who I like a lot and love to spend time will never respect my feeling when she uses social media. It really isolates from people around us. Even the healthy food if we consumed more than the level it acts as poison. Likewise, social media too. So, we have to use it in a healthy way.
