Seamless Connection: Does Social Media Increase Connections or Isolate us?

Social media is an online platform used to communicate, share information and build relationships. In terms of increasing connections, social media allows us to connect with people from all over the world, strengthen relationships, and join communities of interest. On the other hand, social media can also isolate us; excessive use can reduce face-to-face interactions, cause loneliness, and create social pressure due to comparisons of life with others. Social media is defined as an internet-based platform that allows users to communicate, share information, and build relationships through text, images, videos, or other forms of content. The development of social media is very important in human life as it has changed the way we interact, work and access information.
