Is Social Media Actually Connecting People?

Social media is the biggest platform of in the world. So we learn and gain knowledge by using Social media.

And We can share any topics with World'peoples.

And we get no more chances to learn easily without social media.

Social media helps them "less time and gain more" this is the best quote on my side.

And as well there are so many disadvantages in front of the young generation.

Why because so many youngsters could spend time longer on social media.

Then the habit is very dangerous to get more health problems.

Using this social media through loss of time and inspiration people are made bad chances.

So, please be inspired that but don't addict to heavily with Social media.

Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

My take on this is Ofcourse, social media helps in connecting with people and breaking the geographical barriers, allowing people to connect with individuals worldwide.
Encouraging in international friendships and cultural exchange.

Online communities form around shared interests, hobbies, or causes providing a sense of support.
And platforms like LinkedIn helps in connecting with the industry professionals, finding career opportunities, and knowledge sharing.

And the otherside of the Social media have issues like cyberbullying, online harassments causing emotional harm to the people.

So, yes social media does connect people, and we must acknowledge the negatives as well.

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.

Good morning Sir/Ma'am.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to start the discussion, so the given topic to us is "Is social media actually connecting people" in my view, social media is a platform where we can easily connect with people easily if the people are living in other countries. And social media connect to us what's going on in the world through the news. And we have many websites we can easily learn new things. But many young children is addicted to social media. They spend so much time on social media is absolutely is bad for health and eyes also.

So my conclusion is social media is good if you are use in a limited way. It is completely depends on the people.

Thank you.

Yes, social media connects people in group discussions in unique ways that differ from traditional communication methods. It allows real-time interactions across geographic boundaries, enabling diverse perspectives to converge. Unlike face-to-face or formal group discussions, social media provides platforms where people can contribute asynchronously, share multimedia content, and express opinions in various formats. This democratizes participation, as individuals can join discussions without time or location constraints.

However, it also introduces challenges such as misinformation, echo chambers, and a lack of nonverbal cues, which can impact the depth and quality of conversations.

Hello!

My name is Subrat and hope you all are doing well. No doubt Social media helps to connecting people.

But everything has a limit, now youth are so busy with social media in posting, sharing, uploading photos etc even if there is no time to talk with their parents that is the point.

My view is that social media helps to connect people who are far from us but at the same time it also helps to increase the distance from nears.

There is so many benefits of social media in terms of helping someone, gain knowledge from any valuable post etc. But if we maintain the time spending with social media that would be beneficial for both far friends and closer one (parents). THANK you.

Yes, we are connected through social media and we disconnected with people around us, we are spending more time on Instagram, facebook, games, staying in home becoming lazy and we stopped interaction with our family. We can't even know if the person in front of us is happy or not,

Social media interaction is for only some time and when people meet in-person and interact is different.

When people meet they can have more interaction then social media, they find many topics to discuss whereas in social media we just stop interacting after some time.

Social media interaction is good but we should spend time with family also.

And we should be on social media as much as required.

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.

Hi everyone,

According to me, Yes, Social media is connecting people.

* It bridges geographical gaps by allowing instant communication worldwide.
* Helps maintain relationships and reconnect with old friends/family.
* Provides platforms for communities with shared interests (education, hobbies, causes).
* Useful for networking, career growth, and awareness.
* Promotes virtual connections but reduces face-to-face interactions.
* Creates superficial relationships; likes and comments don’t equal real bonding.
* Addiction leads to isolation, stress, and mental health issues.
* Spreads misinformation and creates echo chambers instead of genuine understanding.

Yes, social media connects people without any doubt. Now we can talk, chat, or video call with the people we want to. There are many useful characteristics of social media. But we also can not ignore the demerits of social media. Scammers create fake identities to scam innocent people. In this AI era, it's very easy to pretend someone else and fool people. Even though we can not say that social media is not good. It's a universal fact that everything has its own merits and demerits. And if we think about the facilities social media gives us, then we can not deny that social media have changed our lives. Social media is now a part of our daily life.
