As you said, There are lot of pros and cons to using social media,
I'm going with the positive side by using social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter we can connect with the people whom we know in real time it makes our relationship more strong. We get the information within a fraction of a second by using social media platforms.
And the other side of the coin, it has times we lose the connection due to some reasons, and we get invalid or fake information. Most of the cyber crimes are happening by using social media platforms by clicking links and saying OTPs to unknown candidates. Sometimes we spend an of time on social media platforms as a result of this we don't get time to our family, our loved ones and our parents and children.
So, by using this platform we must have care, responsibility and balanced time.

To be honest, I agree with this statement.
Yes, it helps many people who are so far from their parents, friends and loved ones; this is the only way to connect with them regularly.
Some of them might be using this social media platform to connect with their known ones and keep them updated by posting about their personal life. Even if it helps them to access their people, how they are doing and all.
If anything, having an advantage obviously it would have disadvantages also.
*Due to a network issue, we couldn't connect with our loved ones regularly.
* If you post anything on any social media, it might be used by another person wrongly.
* Sometimes, our social media account will be led to hack by hackers.
I can conclude this by saying, it helps us to get connected with our people, but it won't feel good as we talk or meet in person.

Hello everyone.
In my point of view, social media is both connecting people and also making them apart at the same time. Social media has many benefits we can connect with people, we can access information and business purposes it has many benefits. Through social media, we can connect with people who are far from us, but we are getting apart from the people who are staying with us.
For example, we say good morning or goodnight to the people who are far from us. But we never say good morning to our family members. And also, in our childhood, we just played games with our friends or cousins. But in today's generation, children always play video games or watch unnecessary things on social media. So, I suggest using social media for limited-only purposes, instead of scrolling reels, go and spend your time with your family members.

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.

Hello Everyone.
Yes, Social Media connects the People.
I can justify my statement with the Following Mentioned Reasons.
1) Through Social Media, you can get any update from any part of the country within a Fraction of the time. If something happens in any part of the world, you get Quick Updates within half an hour.
2) You can talk to your Friends, even with your family members, and also with strangers across the world instantly.
But yeah, it has some negative impact also:
Today, we live in the world of AI, and someone is keeping an eye on you through the dark web, and you may not be aware of that.
Also, at the same time, rumours get spread through social media very instantly.
And last but not least, due to Social media, the government of a country also gets changes.
Like Nepal is the Example that we have.

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.
