Social Media is one of the fastest and convenient ways of communication. As we all know that everything has a good and evil side. Using this platform people can raise their voice against a lot of things. We all know that the #metoo campaign was also started at these sites which was a great step towards women empowerment.

Where the women can freely speak about the harassment. It has many advantages like we get news about what is happening around the world. We often don't get a chance to meet friends and family who are staying far away or abroad but, we can stay connected with them through social sites like Facebook or Instagram. Our government is also planning to make digital India.

But, I believe without social media it will not be possible to make digital India. But, some people are addicated to social sites by posting their photos and unlikely stuff. Some people use social sites for their carrier and for the job purpose.

Social media actually connects people. Yes, it's true because wherever we are we can able to access them or find them through social media. There are lot of applications where people can connect with each other like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc.

There are many advantages and disadvantages. People can connect with strangers, so people get attracted towards them through applications. There might be a risk as the information provided by them might be fake. Some connections can take you to a place that is like a milestone in your life. People can explore their talent through social media and they can achieve their goals and find their best opportunities through social media. Through social media connections and interactions, they can understand other people's cultures and other new things. By social media, we can find childhood friends by their name so that they can cherish olden days memories and build connections more.

In the case on social media, we generally use a term named virtual, so it's our responsibility to in which ratio we give importance to our real and virtual relationships. Social media helps us a lot in setting connections, networking, gathering information, but in the end, these all are virtual and deserve full importance only, when they become real. Otherwise, these connections or relationships can lead us to fraud, cheating, and lots of other cybercrimes.

We can set a connection or relation with people through social but can't ignore the benefits of person-to-person socializing, and engagement in different outdoor activities. Yes, social media is connecting people but all these connections bear meaning when they get converted from virtual to real. So, in the end, it's our responsibility to convert our virtual connections and relationships into real ones, only then we can get the proper benefit of social media.

Hello everyone, i would like to say pros of this topic -That yes ,social media is connecting people all over the world..
REASON

a) That all children who work in another place not on birthplace are connected to their family, and relations through social media.
b) for example- students who are preparing for exams don't talk to their family members and close ones but they are in touch through WhatsApp (a social media platform), they knew everything about others through social media platforms because they put stories and all...
c)All who are working don't have time to contact daily to everyone but they have touched through social media.
d)All seniors who are placed remain in touch with social media platforms and help juniors and if any student gets placed in the same company then they contact through social media.
e) We can communicate with unknown HR executives by finding out on various social media platforms.

No doubt that social media is playing a very crucial role in getting in touch with people who have done something marvellous in this tech era, from whom we can get motivation and hence aspire to do something new and contribute to global development in a similar manner like them, but at the same time we also have to admit this harsh fact that it is the social media who are playing a sole role in bringing in depression, anxiety, dejection, self-doubt, loss of happiness so and so forth in today's youth, it is the social which is being used today to compare the lives of one with the lives of others that brings among us the so-called fearing of missing out, in this so-called social media era we the youth trying to highlight ourselves far then the reality that creates a gap between our expectation and the reality thus creating a sense of demotivation and dejection that ultimately led to the loss of happiness.

Hello everyone,

Friends, as we know today social media is playing a vital role in our day to day life, this is becoming one of the fundamental need of human being and now it becomes an addiction for some people's which Will be very harmful.

According to our topic, actually social media is for connecting people but now so many People disconnecting, going in depression, getting wrong information because of social media.

Yes, there are so many advantages of social media but we are not focusing on that we are just using social media to show our self, our beauty, property etc. But we don't have time to speak with persons who really need help and if we help him we are showing this on social media, see what I have done.

So, according to my opinion, it is a virtual connection so come out from this and meet people face to face, speak with them, help them which Will give you inner piece.

Thank you.

Hello everyone,

Today’s topic is very relevant to our generation: Is social media actually connecting people?

I personally believe that social media is both connecting people and making them grow apart at the same time. It has a major impact on our lives; for instance, we can easily keep up with what others are doing by frequently checking their social media accounts. For parents whose children live far away for jobs, studies, etc. Social media is a big help. It allows them to know whether their children are doing well.

However, this virtual connection can also lead to growing apart. People may become so reliant on virtual interactions that they forget to meet in person and take care of their relationships in real life.

To conclude, the effect of social media on relationships depends on how it is used. If used properly, it can keep people connected. If not, it can make people grow distant.

Hi All,
My name is Shruti Singh.
I agree that social media is actually connecting people. As this site provides us with the opportunity to represent our thoughts to everyone.
So, I think they also connected us with each other because I learned some thoughts above there and I also decided to share my thoughts with all of you. This is the first time that I am sharing my thoughts on social media and because I am an introverted person sometimes it's quite tough for me to present myself to anyone.

But on social media, you talk and express your thoughts freely. So, I think they connect people.
But as everyone says everything has its pros and cons.
So, it depends on us how we are using it.
Of course, you can share your thoughts or feelings on social media but please be aware of your limits.
I think social media is good as well as bad
So, it depends on how you are using it.

Thanks!

Hello All,

Good Evening,

My name is Pranav Purohit.
Here, I am discussing about social media is that social media is really connecting people or not.

My point about social media is that everthing has its own pros and cons. It depends on how people really use this. People use social media not only for seeing reels or stories but also for business or entertainment purpose and to earn income as well. People earn huge number of amount from Instagram, Facebook, You tube and through social media, people get connected with other worldwide if we are away from people or in other countries also.

But anything access in life is poison and social media is same in this because there are chances for the cyber crimes and our information and dats will be hacked so we need to take care of our breaches.

It depends on how we use it. We should be aware of how to use social media.

Thank you.

Hello friends, I am going to share something on the topic is "Is social media is connecting people"?

On this we can see social is connecting people offcourse it's connected the unknown people also to be friends but not at all the time there may be fake people like greedy or hackers is there to stole our data and personal detail with that they will threatening or blackmailing us for money. Just use to share some thoughts or do useful things otherwise don't share anything about your personal it may sometime treats us.

On our usage only we can find it is good or bad. So, use in good way to connect with good people or else don't need.
Nowadays, school students also using social media they don't know how to utilise useful but they were thought that is for entertainment purpose but that is not true. It's only for sharing news and learn something when we were far.

Thank you!
