Social media so far is the fastest platform to connect with people all around the world, even people taking advantage of it by learning different languages with the help of other people, people are reaching out to people for knowledge, some who cannot afford are learning through right person.

It's also helping them grow confidence, As far as I have seen people are getting more skilled and getting the right experience through social media.

Hello!

I think social media is connecting people all over the world. As we know we can connect or contact any people in this world with the internet and social media so it is beneficial for us human beings. But somewhere we are lacking in the real world because of social media.

For example, we have lost our thinking abilities and it's just because of social media and the internet or AI and our brain is not working or not thinking in general and it's always depending on Al or this internet.

Also, we are lacking in expressing emotions. People don't have time for their parents family or friends because of this social media so I think we are lacking somewhere in humanity.

Yes, social media connects people far living friends and family connects like-minded people have a community sneak peek into the lives of your loved ones easier to stay connected and updated about your dear ones connects employers and employees, and customer and business pointers against just a means of fake self-reflection and false admiration focus more on showoff and beautification rather than real self disconnected to people in front and near you unable to make conversations in real world do not understand real human relations and emotions privacy concerns and cyberbullying.

Hello everyone! While social media connects people simultaneously, it's also ruining relationships and bonds in real life. People are forgetting to meet in person, relying too heavily on social media platforms. I believe social media is reducing the love between people.

For instance, if a loved one is sick, is it better to send a 'Take care' text or to meet in person and care for them? Meeting in person, of course! But people prefer to send a quick 'TC' text. Does that show caring? I don't think so.

Moreover, social media platforms are a huge drawback to confidence and creativity. People are relying on social media and forgetting how to be confident in reality. They're also forgetting how to think creatively because of AI, including myself. We're relying on AI so much that we're not using our brains anymore.

There's more to it, but everything must be utilized properly for our well-being.

And Finally, I want to say one thing: We all have brains, let's just use them instead of AI!

Social media is a broad term which includes networking in and around the world through the internet. We can connect to the people anywhere around the world. Through social media platforms we get to know about the lifestyle trends, the industry trends and we get ourself updated by it. Only because of social media it is possible to spread positive awareness, to promote brand and small businesses and some people also get jobs by creating content in social media platforms.

Atlast, I want to state that if it having positive point it also have negative point.

So, we should use it carefully and only for positive things.

Some social media platforms which we use daily is Instagram and linkedin.

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.

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.

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.

Social media connects people and also helps in making new connections. Through social media we can stay in touch with everyone despite not meeting them since time, relations are alive. It's the law of nature everything has advantages and disadvantages so one can get distracted, and addicted to it. Nowadays people use social media for fame, likes, comments etc.
