According to me, social media is the path or way of connecting people, friends also we can improve our knowledge through watching videos and so many inspire speech is the good think about social media. But so many people mostly youth are addicted of snapchat they can wastage there time in scrolling the Facebook and instagram so I think social media is good also and bad too.

A big NO.

I think social media has lost its essence, the purpose for which it was initially created. It was created so that people sitting at two different corners of the world can connect. I do agree that people do get connected through it but that connection does not have any value. Nowadays on social media, people's have thousands of friends who are just there for liking, commenting in their post nothing else. Social media is connecting people on a superficial basis that doesn't have any real connection. Even people's are having a conversation with different people who are far away from them but they are losing contact who is sitting next to them. In need of help, one would get help only from their real friends who they have met personally and not from their other facebook or Instagram friends.

Even social media can actually help us in connecting people if we use it in a limited and optimum manner rather than using it all day all night just for fun.

Thank you. Have a great day ahead.

With the help of social media we get to what is going on in the world. It has made us aware of people of different lifestyles and traditions. But because of its excessive use by the younger generation has created many problems. We lose lives in many accidents because we want to take few a selfies at places that are quite dangerous. We are keeping distance with our close friends and relatives even if we are living close to them.

Social media, yes it is right that this word makes us amuse, but the harsh reality is that in present scenario social media is not working in its pure form, as all we know that it has become a platform for playing politics for some people, indiscipline in between regions is being created by the help of social media, fake news and stories are being made by fake people and this is costing lives, moreover it has not vanished from our minds that recently Facebook is caught in stealing the data of its users so social media has become so social that it is reading our minds also.

In my opinion, the social media is not behaving correctly in present for the society and for the national peace so strict actions are needed for the upbringing of the usefulness of social media.

Thanks.

Hi, I am Brishaketu

Social media connecting people. We all are welcome in that media. We all are connected to relative, friends and those are away from me and also unknown. Knowing about those, learning from their life root and also aware ours current world. But the term "actually " use because of the bad effect of this. Like excessive use, fake news & stories, unsecured personal information etc.

So, proper use of media can help us to connect to the worldwide.

Thanks!

When talking about social media it has both pros and cons. Talking about its pros it helps you connecting people anywhere around the world, it provides you lots of information about the current events which are going all around and about its cons it makes people addictive, they start their day by looking into social media tweets, wherever people go they just switch into their social media app and begin to scroll down the feed. It can be seen in home, office, bus, anywhere and they begin to compare their life with it. Which infact is not a good idea.

According to me, we have seen that by social media we all are connected to each other but inside us we feel alone. We have 1000 friend list in our account but whenever we need just only one friend we have none. So it is seen that social media is connecting us to many people but actually it pushes us to loneliness in today's world.

Hi friends.

Yeah, undoubtedly it is wiping out the distance and connecting people. We can reach out anyone from anywhere and share things with lots of people without many efforts. It can also create a good platform for many talented people and make them glorified. On the other hand excess usage and its addiction results in loss of our valuable time. Nowadays Sharing everything in social media also leading lots of crimes. In some cases, it's making every relation a materialistic one in greed of likes and loves. It's in our hand to use it in the right way by think before we share anything in it.

Hello!

My name is Subrat and hope you all are doing well. No doubt Social media helps to connecting people.

But everything has a limit, now youth are so busy with social media in posting, sharing, uploading photos etc even if there is no time to talk with their parents that is the point.

My view is that social media helps to connect people who are far from us but at the same time it also helps to increase the distance from nears.

There is so many benefits of social media in terms of helping someone, gain knowledge from any valuable post etc. But if we maintain the time spending with social media that would be beneficial for both far friends and closer one (parents). THANK you.

Social Media helps to connect the people in anywhere at any time. Social Media is (good or bad).

It's about the users. It helps that passes the information to all in the fracture of seconds. By Social Media, the people are faster and growing to the high level. But in Social Media, the news are being in sometimes fake by not secure. Media's only thing is to give a best and good repones to all public.

THANK YOU ALL.
