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.

Hello everyone,
I endorse the statement that social media is truly connecting people. Social media plays a vital role in our lives, especially with the proliferation of smart devices. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with special needs. It also serves as a valuable tool for students, aiding in their studies and assignments, and facilitating access to information from various sources. Through social media, we can acquire a wealth of knowledge.
Moreover, it is instrumental for business purposes and connecting with people worldwide.
We can gather information and explore job opportunities on platforms like LinkedIn, Naukri, and more. It is a great way to interact with friends, family, and clients through various mediums such as text, images, videos, and live chats. This fosters strong relationships and keeps us connected to the people around us.
In conclusion, social media has become an essential part of our daily lives. It is crucial to use it safely and efficiently for our benefit.

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.

Hello everyone! While social media connects people simultaneously, it's also ruining relationships and bonds in real life. People are forgetting to meet in person, relying too heavily on social media platforms. I believe social media is reducing the love between people.
For instance, if a loved one is sick, is it better to send a 'Take care' text or to meet in person and care for them? Meeting in person, of course! But people prefer to send a quick 'TC' text. Does that show caring? I don't think so.
Moreover, social media platforms are a huge drawback to confidence and creativity. People are relying on social media and forgetting how to be confident in reality. They're also forgetting how to think creatively because of AI, including myself. We're relying on AI so much that we're not using our brains anymore.
There's more to it, but everything must be utilized properly for our well-being.
And Finally, I want to say one thing: We all have brains, let's just use them instead of AI!

Hello friends.
Is social media actually connecting people?
As everything in this world has two face. Likewise, social media connection towards people also has two faces. Yes, It connects the people worldwide. It connects the people who are in such a distance were we can't travel to meet them. So that we can mingle with different people belongs to different area, which makes us to know their lifestyle and culture. We can also get connected with professors, doctors, scientists or any professionals and make use of them to clarify our doubts. We can also get updated with things that happen worldwide. But on the other face it keeps us away from the people around us. Yes, myself suffered from this my sister who I like a lot and love to spend time will never respect my feeling when she uses social media. It really isolates from people around us. Even the healthy food if we consumed more than the level it acts as poison. Likewise, social media too. So, we have to use it in a healthy way.

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.

Hello Everyone,
Yes, I think social media helps to connect with people. But as we know every coin has its advantages and disadvantages.
So, if we see social media is helping us in many ways from social media platforms we get free notes and resources, and sometimes we get more knowledgeable and valuable points from different sources which helps to clear our points. By using social media we connect with mentors, teachers and speaker which help us.
But if we see other side of the social media then we see that there is a lot of cyberBulling, fraud, fake identify, blackmailing, stealing the information. Some social media like instagram, facebook can cause a lot of bulling and negative influence in the teengers and children because they addictaed to this so much that they can't focus on their life.
So, at last, I want to say that if we use it wisely then it makes us good and intelligent but if we don't use it wisely then if it sufficient to ruin our life.

Yes, Social media is connecting people with different geographical areas. By using some messaging apps we can easily contact our friends, family members. We also make video calls.
By using social media, we have both advantages and disadvantages. By using it in the correct way it is helpful to the needs of our life.
This social media helps us for educational purposes, it also makes our learning way easy. And also business promotions to help their improvement in business. By using social media, nowadays we can easily know the product details by watching Advertisements.
By social media, we can watch daily news very quickly. Popular news was fastly spread through this. So that we can easily know that news.
Through this, we can invite our long-distance friends to our family functions.
We also book our tickets online by using social media to make an easy and comfortable journey.
So, I conclude that social media is actually connected the people.

You know all these points were correct, but there is a different side of social media it's not only about the knowledge we are getting or spreading, it's also about the emotions that we can perceive like from social we can respect our country and get to know more about our country and freedom fighters who had struggled for our country.
Besides that we can also spread our emotions about our parents, teachers and elders, if we are wrong in some of these we can also try to learn and correct our felling's emotional behaviour by observing other's social media profiles, like how they respect their parents, culture, society and nation. So as an account, social media is trying to not only connect people of the same interests but also try to build knowledge, values and feelings in people that can lead their lives, and the future of the nation in a better way.
So, I conclude that by social media we are getting better and growing better day by day.

I firmly believe that social media is connecting people. Social Media has allowed us to connect to our loved ones, whether they are far or near. Parents can always know well well-being and safety of their children through video calls and other social media apps. We can make others feel our presence through just a message.
Social media is helping job seekers connect to recruiters. Because of the connections, recruiters can hire people from different parts of the country. Some apps allow us to help needy people which is an act of humanity. We have seen a live example during the COVID pandemic.
Social media is not only connecting members of the family but also has given us the path to reach our idols, artists, and politicians. We can see how a hashtag on Twitter can bring everybody's attention.
However, we see some negative influences of social media also but it is the user's responsibility to explore the good side of social media.
