Is Social Media Actually Connecting People?

Hi everyone,

As per my thought yes, social media is actually connecting people. We all get to know about the people in the other country through which we get so many benefits, for example, if I know a recruiter or an hr through a social media app, I can get a referral from him/her, which will not happen in a physical interaction because physical interaction is not possible every time.

From my perspective, social media connects people primarily in a digital sense rather than on an emotional level. Platforms such as video-calling applications mainly help us share our thoughts and stay in touch with our families and loved ones, but they cannot truly replicate the emotions we experience when we meet someone in person. However, this does not mean that social media is ineffective.

In fact, it is highly beneficial in today’s fast-paced world, where most people are busy earning a living and often lack the time to meet friends and family regularly. In such circumstances, social media plays an important role in helping people stay connected. Nevertheless, it is worth thinking about how beautiful life could be with less digital interaction and more face-to-face relationships.
