Hello everyone.

Myself Kumar.

In my thoughts, social media is a very good innovation in which country the whole world reduces distances. Help people know each other understand their cultural customs and traditions from different parts of the world, what's happening in different parts of the world what innovations are happening what social and political drama happening. Also, help in raising issues related to their place. I found it very useful but on the other hand, it has some bad aspects also like fraud abuse and the main important issue I found countries like the USA and other European countries like China try to push their narrative to a poor country and affect their internal politic which is the worst thing I found, they use it as a tool.

In my point of view, the answer to this question is a big no. Yes, it can be said that social media has helped to know other people, be friends with. But the term connecting is actually not working these days. Anytime and Everywhere people are out with the cellphones to click picture and uploading as soon as possible. We can say marketing of social media has grown rapidly but this is a deep truth that it can never connect people in an actual basis because nowadays, people are eager to show and know how much they are happy and comparing there happiness with others. In this manner they are connected but it can never be like the old school friendship where there was no phones in hand and still we are connected in every levels all the time.

Yes, social media is connecting with those who are living out of the physical networks (out of the region).
Social media is connecting people no doubt but the people who are addicted to this want just validation from social media for every single moment of, life and this is even matter or not because of this they do not mostly care about their physical relationships.

For eg; is there any event in the family that from age 10 to 80 years people would be busy with their social sites or unwanted scrolling but will not talk to their surrounding people?

So the conclusion is: Yes, no doubt social sites are connecting people but only those who are far away from social sites are not connecting them who are actually with them.

THANKYOU.

No question that social media has revolutionized communication. As a result, we are becoming more knowledgeable, more direct, and in a lot of ways, more diversified. But the overall trend and actual fact is Social Media is connecting people those who stay far from you and isolating from your family or who are close to you. So you need to decide how you will handle or manage your social media and which is your necessity and which is your priority. It's difficult to make everyone happy, but if you can manage both your 'near' and 'far' that will be a great achievement in your life.

In the last five years, various social networking sites have taken the virtual world by storm. Now we have more friends on these sites than in real life.

Hello, everyone.

According to me, social media connecting people. Yes, nowadays social media playing a vital role in all life because every day we can exchange information in social network it helps me to acquire knowledge and helps to connect and share information quickly nowadays social media like a blood for so many business firm because the advertising their products in the social network quickly it helps to create competition in the market for their products nowadays customer is more addicted to online purchase because lack of time they are not going ask products information in retail stores because of this reasons these days social media playing vital not only in personal lives but also in professional lives.

Thank you.

Of course. Social media is connecting people (who know how to effectively and appropriately use it).

As said by many of them, they connect people who are far but in the current scenario, it is actually distancing people who are close. The coming generation is going to face a major setback regarding face-to-face communication.

And if we do not use it judiciously, there will be a time when misinformation will overshadow the REAL facts and also not to mention the issues of addiction and isolation.

Social media is a powerful means of connecting and communicating only if it maintains a balance with all the traditional means of communication or it would be that we are trying to connect digitally at the cost of social connections.

Hello everyone.

In my point of view, social media make people as less social. People are connected virtually to each for many apps like WhatsApp, FB, Instagram but they lose their real relationship. Every thing as two thought positive and negative. If we use social media as an improvement like students take an online course and learn new thinks put the question and get the query. And other students who waste there time to enjoy as social media sites like online games pubg, tiktok and waste a lot of time. We conclude social media reduce the distance which far for her but at same time they increase the distance which is near for her. So my advice is that people try to use social media as an improvement, not as a destructor.

Hello everyone.

My name is Sri Ramachandra Murthy.

Hello everyone!

Yes, social media actually connects people around the globe, and with the help of social media, we can communicate with people irrespective of their locations.

And we can promote our brands through marketing and.

It is cost-free to promote our business, and it could be helpful for their business growth. We can also share information like job postings and all that.

It is easier to understand and hassle-free.

When it comes to disadvantages, though there are features to restrict people and secure our data, it is impossible for us if we don't follow safety measures while using social media to save our personal information and it leads to cybercrimes.

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!

Hello friends.

In my opinion, social media is a good tool for communication but not a good tool for a human soul-satisfying connection. You think yourself what gives you more happiness real face to face meet up with your old buddy or a connection with him through social media, ofcourse, the answer would be the first one for the majority. In an era when group activity has been replaced by group chats, meetups replaced by skype calling we have lost the art of making the connection. Take the commmon example at a waiting place all are busy with their phones so making us disconnected. We also cannnot verify the genuineness of virtual communication so it can never replace the trust we have in face to face communication.
