Yes, actually, it's both connecting the people and also making them apart at the same time. Social media is a platform where we can talk to people, send them wishes and many more things, but there is another side that, in real life or in actuality, we forget to greet them and take care of whatever relationship we have in real life. But yes, we can easily say that because of social media, we know what others are doing by checking their posts and stories on Instagram, Snapchat or LinkedIn-like platforms. Because of social media, the whole world is reducing distance. Now people can easily share their talents and people are also appreciating them. And the main thing that we can easily connect to the various businesses, is job opportunities. Surely social media has having few disadvantages but there are many more advantages too.

No, social media is connecting people in my opinion what people are doing these days when they get bored they turn towards social media which is making them selfish and introvert at the same time. The mentality of today's generation is like it's better to sit inside and chat rather than go outside and meet with that person physically. People are becoming self-oriented they care about people who are far rather than caring and giving time to those people who are close, you can't form a connection just by sending a message in order to build a connection or relation you have to be there to share laughs, share stories that's how relationship can be build even we can see the change during festivals now people just use social media to greet eachother but before people go to eachother houses in order to greet and wish someone.

Hello friends,

Social media does connect to people in all the ways irrespective of where you live geographically provided you have an internet connection.

Social media is an excellent platform to everyone as there is no question of reservation and also there is equality to everyone.

The thing is people should utilize in a proper manner and also have a limit on everything they do online but instead people are misusing and misleading everything in all possible ways.

So social media is actually not connecting to people instead it is distracting their lives from the real-life which is not a good thing and probably affect their future in certain ways.

If we use social media in a proper way not getting distracted and taking all resources which are being provided online for improvising our lives then it would be fine.

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.

Hello Everyone.

With reference to the given topic i.e. "Social media actually connecting people".

My point of view is yes, it connects people. Helps people to interact with each other to see what's going on others life it helps to chat with each other also their are many influencers, freelancers who uses this platform to earn money.

However it has disadvantages too. On social media it is next to impossible to show our emotions, understanding others emotions, feelings through chat/ text which can lead to fights, conflicts etc.

Also, there are many teenagers, youngsters are using social media to watch pornographic content which affects a lot to their mental health.

So to conclude this topic, social media can be useful to a certain extent also it can cause many problems which we discussed now.

Thank you.

Hi everyone Bikash Sahu from this side:.

Yes definitely, the impact of social media is growing day by day and it has become our necessary routine. In my point of view, there are many advantages and fewer disadvantages you can see, it depends on how much time you are spending on that. The advantages are, that you can connect with people easily and shortly and you can share anything. Also, you can show your ability and talents using different platforms publicly where if you notice on disadvantages then you can see that by using social media platforms people are becoming so lazy which has a bigger impact in itself if you consider physical purpose. So in the end, I suggest everyone use social media for limited purposes only, don't waste your valuable time by scrolling reels or on other unnecessary things.

Hello everyone.

@All.

I would like to put my opinion here the topic says social media connects people well. Yes!but we are only connected with the people who are not in touch with like friends out loved ones who have been living in foreign countries and we have not in contact with for so many years so social media like Instagram and Facebook help us to connect with them and keeps us connected no matter where the country is no matter how much the distance is but it is also disconnecting people who are closed to us like if we are sitting in a gathering family gathering or social gathering instead of talking and networking we are busy without phone scrolling on social media watching reels we are not communicating with people physically which is again distancing ourself with the people present around us.

Social Media is definitely connecting people all over the world and Social media has become very important in today's world. We get to connect with our friends, relatives, and close ones. Social media has also become a way of earning for many content creators and has even helped many in making their future. As we all know every pro has its cons so it is applied to Social media too where people can get too much addicted to this which can lead to many issues in terms of health and many other problems.

For example, people don't even realize what is going on around them when they are so much into phones.
For some Social media becomes their complete life because of which there might be times when their family relations might get affected and distanced because of a lack of interactions between 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.

Hello everyone,

Today we are discussing about is social media is actually connecting people or not.

We can see this topic in two point of view. One of the view is, social media is actually providing various platforms to connect people from different areas. We can see that there are platforms like google meet, zoom, whatsapp call etc.

These platforms are actually connecting people for different areas. For example, imagine a parent from India can connect their children in America through these platforms whenever they needed.

In other point of view, we can see that, nowadays, so much people are addicted to social media and most of them are wasting their chance to meet people and communicate with them. They are spending their time in social media.

Thank you.
