Yes, social media connects people in group discussions in unique ways that differ from traditional communication methods. It allows real-time interactions across geographic boundaries, enabling diverse perspectives to converge. Unlike face-to-face or formal group discussions, social media provides platforms where people can contribute asynchronously, share multimedia content, and express opinions in various formats. This democratizes participation, as individuals can join discussions without time or location constraints.

However, it also introduces challenges such as misinformation, echo chambers, and a lack of nonverbal cues, which can impact the depth and quality of conversations.

Hello everyone,

So we all are living in the digital era in which social media are becoming an essential part of our lives. I think in my opinion social media certainly helps us to connect with different kinds of people in all over the world. We have a different kind of social media websites and applications in today's time each connects the people but serves different purposes for example.

Instagram is an application which connects people and helps in sharing some good content related to entertainment, values and knowledge.

Linkdin is an application which connects professionals from all over the world and helps people to find a good job.

Youtube is something which provides different kinds of knowledge by connecting people.

Apart from that, we have WhatsApp, X and other websites which help us to connect with our relatives as well as many other people in the world.

Hello Everyone here, I'm Raghu, Today the topic to discuss is "Is social media connecting people".


Yes, I do agree with this statement But every coin has two sides where it is advantageous to adults but negative to most of Teenagers and children.
Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and educational platform like LinkedIn helps to connect people all over the world and share a different perspective of each other and it also helps connect with video, and voice calls with close ones. The adult people can connect and work on same project if the thought process matches and also gain a new different ideas. But it as negatively impacting teenagers and children most of them become slaves to these platforms and it is robbing them of entire time, productivity as well and peace of mind. This social helps in connecting people but also based on our interests its keeps on suggesting similar content which we would like to see, so it decreases most people's productivity. Remember one thing Technology is a slave, not a master and let's use it to empower ourselves not enslave us.

Thank you

Hello everyone my name is Archita,

I want to start off by presenting a question that there are always two sides to a coin, right?

So although it does connect people on a superficial level, it does more harm than good if not used correctly. For adults, it is a medium of communication, building new connections, and discovering different things. But, is it equally important for teenagers too? The answer would be no.

Social media is a bane disguised in the form of a boon. It leads to insecurity, peer pressure, anxiety, and fear of missing out among teens and creates a generation gap among them. They try to impersonate adults whom they like without giving it a second thought, all for public attention and to look cool and trendy. But little do they realise, how harmful it is going to be for them. Teens spend hours every day doing nothing productive but consuming reels, short videos which come one of another as you keep on scrolling through them.

Based on our interests, platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube will keep on giving us similar content that we like and we endlessly consume them, thus falling into an endless loop of depression and lack of productivity makes them dull. Therefore, it is entirely on ourselves how we utilize this tool. If used wisely, it can open new doors of opportunities but misuse of it can become a trap that robs us of our time, self-worth, and peace of mind. Remember, technology is a servant, not a master—let's use it to empower ourselves, not enslave us.

Hi Everyone,

Yes, I do feel that social media is really connecting people around the world. We are able to unlimitedly talk via voice and video calls to our loved ones miles apart through these social media platforms. We are able to access news regarding almost everything going around us via these platforms as well. Not just that intellects, researchers and even scientists around the world are able to connect and work together within no time because of this. Though direct face to face contact and outdoor activities are decreasing, when views from a bigger dimension it's definitely connecting people better than before.

It is an easy way to connect with other people and talk to them and build their relationships sometimes, it creates dynamic career paths for business example LinkedIn and Instagram but my point of view is that sometimes social media connects people.

Yes, social media do connect people through various platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp to different people across the globe. You connect to a random person on a social media platform find it interesting and have some kind of good experience after that.

And sometimes there are no of fake people on there who can hurt you at times. They are showing fake emotions and do not care about the person who they are interacting with.

Today our topic to discuss "is social media connecting people",

I give my opinion on both sides because on one side it connects people who are living far away from you and you can be present in touch with them on the side it's only connecting people who are living far away but disconnecting people who are living near to you so interpersonal interaction and connection will not develop with near ones so, as of my opinion it's a two-way tool.

In my opinion, definitely, social media is connecting people but most of the young generation wastes their time with social media.

Because of that if righteous people can control the usage of the young generation and guide them how effectively we can use them to make the negative impact of social media less.
