Social media has become a very important part of everyone's lives. It is quite helpful to the adults nowadays. As nobody is really interested in reading the news papers but when the news is spread through social media each one of them reads about it and it helps them know what is actually going on. Also, They can connect to their close one's staying away from them through social media and can share each others lives through it. But simultaneously, it is harmful for the now growing kids as they tend to spend more time on social media than actually meeting people or friends around them. The kids do not want to actually go out and play games but rather spend time in social media by uploading content. This could be leading to connections online only for the sake of having a connection. Because, Children miss out on the real fun in the outside world.

According to my point of view,

Do we really need these social websites to interact with the people we love? What about that love, care, and concern that we used to show before, meeting face to face? Social media can never take that place of personal interactions. It is not that they are not good at all, they definitely help us to remain connected with people, but the increased involvement of social media in life is somewhere making us forget about the warmth and love of real-life connections.

According to me, Social media has become a huge platform for connecting the people in different ways. It has definitely created a huge change in our lives and today there is no human being who doesn't depend on social media. Starting from our breakfast routine to going back to the bed, each and every activity of ours is being posted on social media. In fact these days, we don't even need a news channel or a radio to be updated to the daily news. That's only because, each and every thing happening in the society is being posted and it requires very less time to become viral. It has helped us in all the ways it can. But we have to make sure, we do not forget our own people going mad for these online websites.

Good morning all of you.

In my opinion,

Yes, social media really connecting us. Now we can talk with anyone in this world no need to go here and there. It all just possible by the internet. But most of the people using social media very badly like bullying, cybercrime, blackmail, sharing other personal photos, hacking personal details etc. So, social media is good as well as bad just like a coin has two sides. It is up to us how do we use it, that can be for betterment or destruction.

In short, I can say that yes, social media really connecting us, example the early time I was not able to talk with my villagers and my friends but now with the use of social media I can talk with them easily. We must use social media for our betterment, not for destruction.

According to me every term has it's own pros and cons and here social media have also.

At one point, social media is connecting people by Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp etc. With the help of social media, people can easily connect to each other whether they are far away from them and can talk for hours and also we can get daily updates on social media we need not to use new apps and by this people become broad-minded.

But on other hand, people use for the negative way also social media is connecting people only on many virtual ones people forget to go out talk with someone they become far from the limited real ones and it has many negatives ways but it depends on people how they take it and apply on them.

Thank you!

In my opinion it depends on the way we use it, i.e. for the betterment or for the destruction.

Following are the few pros:

1) With the help of various social media applications like fb, insta we can always be connected to our long lost friends. We can know what is happening in their lives like about their weekend plans, places they are travelling to, etc through their stories and posts. This gives us a sense of connection with them.

2) Social media has now become a powerful tool to express our thoughts. Twitter has proved to be an excellent platform for the same. For eg. If we find something wrong happening around us like the police officers misbehaving, taking a bribe or something like that we can just take the video of the same and post it, it may become viral in very less time and quick action against the wrong can be taken.

3) Various platforms like Linkedin have proved to be an excellent way of connecting to professional people and increasing networking. This will in long run help in searching of jobs, gaining knowledge, interacting with the people having the same or similar qualification.

4) Social media provides a platform to content creators to share their content like memers to share their memes, poets to share their poetry and shayaris. These people try their best to connect to their current followers and increase the same.

Hello everyone.

Yes, social media is actually connecting people. And it is being a part of our life in these days. But nowadays some people use it in bad ways. So totally it depends on people that how they can it use. Today it takes a very important role in our daily life. Today government has declared to stay at home for 21 days janta curfew due to Corona virus covid 19. So due to social media we updated about Corona virus.

Thank you.

Yes, no doubt about it is that social media connect people but it matters that how it connecting by virtually or by heart relation. Nowadays, social media is a weapon for a person where they can express their views independently. We can get contact with our long last friends. As contrast people are so busy in social media as they are ignoring their real relation as a result when he/she needs a friend in tough situation there is no one with him/her to vent feelings. Apps used to connect with people depend on person to person if one is choosing someone as close//friend then one should be careful before this as it is online you have not surety about that person that he/she wants your good/bad.

As conclusion want to say that definitely social media connect people but paralleling people are losing real ones as well.

NO, Nowadays overall our whole youth generation is using social media. This is like changing generations, Whenever generation changes it made a change between our generation and the last generation. But now social media is not a change it is an evolution.

It is changing people's behavior, their living, thinking, and almost everything. People are feeling more connected over social media rather than people around them. In the future, it will cause a big problem.
