Is Social Media Actually Connecting People?

Good afternoon everyone.

Myself Santosh Mishra. I am very happy to say that I got this opportunity to talk about the topic. First of all, I want to say that in the living world, social media plays a vital role. As per my thoughts, social media connecting people or building a large network with each other because if we tell example of web then in that app we chat each other to share information although we don not each other for a reason so in that case a stranger or unknown person connected with another and also there is a pros to connect a stranger person such as they can help us at specific situation. And also there are many platforms in which we can connect people over the network such as Twitter, Instagram and Faceboof etc. So, according to me, social media platform connects people over the network.

THANK YOU.

Yes, social media is connecting people like Instagram, YouTube, etc. In order to do this, according my opinion, we need to know the various information around us. I follow more education-related pages for my certifications in Instagram to improve my skills and knowledge.

Thank you!

Hello Everyone,

Social Media has its fair share of advantages, but due to advancements in AI and GPT generation. There is no way of knowing whether a particular video or post is real or not. Even though it is for entertainment purposes, some people may take it seriously and cause an impact.

To be honest, I agree with this statement.

Yes, it helps many people who are so far from their parents, friends and loved ones; this is the only way to connect with them regularly.
Some of them might be using this social media platform to connect with their known ones and keep them updated by posting about their personal life. Even if it helps them to access their people, how they are doing and all.

If anything, having an advantage obviously it would have disadvantages also.
*Due to a network issue, we couldn't connect with our loved ones regularly.
* If you post anything on any social media, it might be used by another person wrongly.
* Sometimes, our social media account will be led to hack by hackers.
I can conclude this by saying, it helps us to get connected with our people, but it won't feel good as we talk or meet in person.

Hi everyone,

As per my thoughts social media is very impacting our life with positiveness making new friends, knowing breaking news, employee opportunities, different people's connecting social media n share their success, so we also build our career with handwork using social media platforms.

It makes people who are in need, business organisations connect with the current and better world, generates employment.

Hello everyone.

I think that social media connects millions of people and thousands of friends.

But you have faced any problem in your life, on bady to you to not you this is a reality, but in real life to get help they beacuse the social media friend only reel friends. Real-life friendship is always true and honest.

Hello everyone.

In my point of view, I can say that social media is really connecting to people like it has a chance to build connections with their friends and they have a chance to communicate with others easily and another thing is it is not connecting to people like some of the people are using fake accounts and they are spoiling other's person's life also so we have to be careful while using social media.

While social media connects people globally, it may be weakening physical connections. Increased mobile phone use within families can reduce face-to-face interaction. This shift diminishes authentic communication, and the bonds and memories created through in-person experiences. Although, social media offers access to news, information, and educational resources, it can also lead to distraction, negative thoughts, and addiction.

No, I don’t think social media is truly connecting people today.

While it’s true that platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or X help us stay in touch and even make new friends across the globe, the reality is quite different for most users. Around 90% of what we see online is filtered or exaggerated — people often showcase only their best moments or even a completely fake version of themselves. This constant comparison leads to feelings of anxiety, loneliness, and even depression.

Today, we see a strange situation — even when four or five friends sit together in the same room, instead of talking or sharing moments, everyone is busy scrolling through their phones. That’s not a real connection; that’s isolation behind screens.

However, I do believe social media has potential — for people who know how to use it wisely. It can be a valuable tool for building meaningful connections, learning from others, or collaborating internationally. But at present, most people use it for validation rather than communication. So, for now, I would say social media is connecting devices, not hearts.
