Is Social Media Actually Connecting People?

Hi, Nowadays social media has become an integral part of every human being irrespective of the age group.

It has given us the freedom to contribute our ideas and thoughts in an open platform wherever everyone can hear us. So it definitely helps us connect people who are far from us. Extroverts become introverts on this platform as it gives everyone an equal voice to share their thoughts.

Human being has a tendency to show what they like and social media helped them to reach to large no. Of people with whom they want to share anything, it could be pictures, poems, blogs, even thought about what they are feeling, what they are doing currently and they seek for.

But at the same time meeting people over social media has made people insensitive and about the actual physical thing. Getting addicted to social media tools becomes a boon for the word 'connecting' as you're going far far away from people who are actually close to you. You don't have time for your family because you're too busy posting updates on social media for few who know you and for total strangers.

In the end, I would like to conclude that there should be maintained some limit on the usage of social media. Get connected keeping in mind there is your family and real friends waiting for you out there to have a real conversation face to face.

No, I don't think so.

Social media is connecting people from all around the world but it's not an actual connection. Today, we like to meet new peoples on social media but it is not possible to know how is he or she in actual, it is possible they want to take our advantage or can be criminal.

Social media connect people but it is taking us far from our parents, friends, relatives. We like to meet new people but we haven't enough time to spend time with our family.

Social media is definitely connecting people but in a very different manner.

In this fast pace moving world, we generally left people behind us, but when we came across them through a social platform, it makes us feel elated and brings us a glimpse of memories we had made with them. But does it really mean we are connected to that person or hundred of friends like him? It is merely a connection I would rather signify it as a virtual connection which fades away with time.

But we all know that social media has brought us lots of friends not to our home but to our smartphone. We all left our friends or acquaintances when we move from one phase to another phase of life, and somehow due to the busyness of life we forgot them but this social media is making available that person into your life once again which we left behind.

People say that social media is consuming the time of youth and it is waste and all but if we all look to the brighter side of the topic then yes, social media is connecting people into our lives. How we use social media into our life is totally depends upon us we can't blame this platform for wasting our time.

Thank you.

Hello everyone.

In my point of view, social media make people as less social. People are connected virtually to each for many apps like WhatsApp, FB, Instagram but they lose their real relationship. Every thing as two thought positive and negative. If we use social media as an improvement like students take an online course and learn new thinks put the question and get the query. And other students who waste there time to enjoy as social media sites like online games pubg, tiktok and waste a lot of time. We conclude social media reduce the distance which far for her but at same time they increase the distance which is near for her. So my advice is that people try to use social media as an improvement, not as a destructor.

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.

I think social media is actually connecting and at the same time disconnecting people. In fact, it is connected to the people who are miles away from us and disconnecting to the people in our close vicinity. We can't enjoy the present moment just because we want to capture the moment and post in on social media. Till now I didn't use social media and I never faced any kind lack of important information. With Google in my hand, I don't think I would miss out my important information. Social media is killing time. The average person is spending at least 2 hours on social media. Instead, he can invest the same time in focussing on his goals. There is no room for habits like book reading, spending time with loved ones after the advent of social media. Lack of attention to our loved ones because of indulging in social media is deteriorating human relations. Social media is also responsible for aggression, envy, etc. When your friend posts a pic for hers and gets a good number of likes, even you want to post your pic. Firstly it wastes your time. Secondly, in case you don't get a good number of likes, you start feeling bad about your looks. It's not letting you be happy with what you have. Fake news has become quite a part of our vocabulary. People just believe what they see in social media and believe it's true. There are cases where people took extreme steps and lost their lives. Radicalisation through social media is increasing terrorism, which is a global threat. Young minds are being filled with hatred on their own nation and as a result, terrorist networking is increasing.

Thanks for giving the chance to speaking on the topic of social media.

Today we have use social media for share our thoughts and provide the important information to the people. Social media is the best tools for connecting people.

Many people has advertising their products on social media and elections candidate also use the social media for election advertising.

As per my opinion, social media is not bad for us because social media is provide good or bad information it is the only depend on us which information should be choose.

I think yes, Social media is actually connecting people. Because it is an only way to connect with our friends who are far away from us. And in case when you live far from your family the social media provides you to connect with them because previously your family is not able to see you how you sustain your life. But by the social media they can and you also see them.

Yes, it is. I think that it is the best platform to share our information and a means to connect with more and more people. It gives information that what currently happening in the world in short it is updating us.

In my point of view, there are both advantage and disadvantages of social media. But it depends on us how we use social media. Stop blaming social media. We should change thought about social media so anything which we do in limit is always beneficial for us. But if you talk about disadvantages then it connects us to the world but as well as increasing distance from our family. Thank you.
