Hello friends!

I think that Social media has emerged as a very powerful and effective tool of communication that has converted the entire world into a global village.

But here the topic of our discussion is that is it really connecting people. According to my opinion, yes! It is connecting people but in virtual relationships. And we are getting deep down in these relations that we have started ignoring our real relations. But the reality is that most of the virtual relationships are fake so due to these fake relations we should not neglect our actual real relations.

People these days have thousands of friends on WhatsApp, FB etc. But they don't have even a single one with them that can understand his /her friend and can help him/her when there is need of a friend.

In the age, when a son should be a friend of his father, he is busy with thousands of friends on social media.

In the form of conclusion, I would like to say that social media has definitely reduced the physical distances but has enhanced the distance between hearts.

According to my point of view,

Do we really need these social websites to interact with the people we love? What about that love, care, and concern that we used to show before, meeting face to face? Social media can never take that place of personal interactions. It is not that they are not good at all, they definitely help us to remain connected with people, but the increased involvement of social media in life is somewhere making us forget about the warmth and love of real-life connections.

Yes, no doubt about it is that social media connect people but it matters that how it connecting by virtually or by heart relation. Nowadays, social media is a weapon for a person where they can express their views independently. We can get contact with our long last friends. As contrast people are so busy in social media as they are ignoring their real relation as a result when he/she needs a friend in tough situation there is no one with him/her to vent feelings. Apps used to connect with people depend on person to person if one is choosing someone as close//friend then one should be careful before this as it is online you have not surety about that person that he/she wants your good/bad.

As conclusion want to say that definitely social media connect people but paralleling people are losing real ones as well.

Hello everyone,

Friends, as we know today social media is playing a vital role in our day to day life, this is becoming one of the fundamental need of human being and now it becomes an addiction for some people's which Will be very harmful.

According to our topic, actually social media is for connecting people but now so many People disconnecting, going in depression, getting wrong information because of social media.

Yes, there are so many advantages of social media but we are not focusing on that we are just using social media to show our self, our beauty, property etc. But we don't have time to speak with persons who really need help and if we help him we are showing this on social media, see what I have done.

So, according to my opinion, it is a virtual connection so come out from this and meet people face to face, speak with them, help them which Will give you inner piece.

Thank you.

Hello friends,

Social media does connect to people in all the ways irrespective of where you live geographically provided you have an internet connection.

Social media is an excellent platform to everyone as there is no question of reservation and also there is equality to everyone.

The thing is people should utilize in a proper manner and also have a limit on everything they do online but instead people are misusing and misleading everything in all possible ways.

So social media is actually not connecting to people instead it is distracting their lives from the real-life which is not a good thing and probably affect their future in certain ways.

If we use social media in a proper way not getting distracted and taking all resources which are being provided online for improvising our lives then it would be fine.

In my opinion, social media has its pros and cons.

1) helps in marketing.
2) connecting people all around the world.
3) staring digital campaign.
4) earning money by showing their skills.
5) improving communication skill.

Cons:

1) wastage of time.
2) mental and physical illness.
3) making people lazy.

Yeah, It is connecting the people. The main purpose of social media is that only to connect people and share information quickly. We can talk with a person who is at the other end of the world, through social media. But unfortunately, nowadays new generation kids are very much addicted to social media that they cannot spend time with their family members. And the people blindly forward the information which is coming from the other person without knowing whether it is true or false.

Yes, I think Social media is connecting people. It has become a powerful tool for us to get connected to each other without any physical barriers. It has also played an helping role in connecting people with their necessities, (Example-Calling an ambulance in case of an emergency, Online shopping etc).

As everything in this world has two faces, so it's our choice whether we will connect or isolates from each other.

No doubt, social media help us to connect people who are far from us and whoever we can't meet physically but this connection has less value because, once we are connected with strangers in media we leave our relative, our real friend and our families behind.

In today's life, we spend most of our time in social media with strangers and we don't have time to communicate with our friends and our families to whom we can share our feelings. And whenever we feel sad, feel bored and feel hopeless we share our personal problem through social media with strangers. I don't mean that we should keep ourself separate from strangers but we also should remember our relatives whenever we deal with strangers.

As we all know, to make everyone happy is not possible but if we do remember both our families and our friend, that will be a great achievement in our life.

Thank you all.

Social Media is one of the fastest and convenient ways of communication. As we all know that everything has a good and evil side. Using this platform people can raise their voice against a lot of things. We all know that the #metoo campaign was also started at these sites which was a great step towards women empowerment.

Where the women can freely speak about the harassment. It has many advantages like we get news about what is happening around the world. We often don't get a chance to meet friends and family who are staying far away or abroad but, we can stay connected with them through social sites like Facebook or Instagram. Our government is also planning to make digital India.

But, I believe without social media it will not be possible to make digital India. But, some people are addicated to social sites by posting their photos and unlikely stuff. Some people use social sites for their carrier and for the job purpose.
