The internet has transformed the way we interact. Social networking sites are a genuinely new way of interacting we can feel close to somebody without actually speaking to them from one month to the next. But I wonder if all this social networking is actually a way of keeping people at a distance a way of having a friend but not having any of the commitments and duties of friendship.

Has the Internet brought Us together or pulled Us apart? Share your valuable opinions...

You are an addict if you allow the digital media to overrule your mental status.

Internet in fact has actually got us closer than what we were before. Youi are now connected to your relatives scattered everywhere within the country or abroad. You are always in touch with your people or group on social media networks. If you cannot really take that quality time out for your family then you do not know where to draw the line.

Its purely dependent on you! YOU have to undestand how much is TOO MUCH!!

(YOU = General public!!)

The world has changed completely due to the internet. The biggest problem I see is that we spend too much of our lives connected to the internet these days. We are attached to email and the internet at work, go home and do our private internet stuff. We dont have much time to socialise. We are meeting our friends online than in real. I believe that the Internet has pulled us apart into individuals than social groups.

Now a days, with every individual becoming career oriented needs to go along with his/her job. So living in different cities has already set us apart but all thanks to technology be it mobile phones or internet we are still in touch with our past colleagues or friends and are able to reconnect. Although in a way we are also set apart by the technology only as we can talk over the internet or phone then we think why we should meet as we can meet online. So it is upto individuals to utilize the technology they want to.

The internet has really brought out together.. Today just sitting at one corner of the room we are able to speak and even see what our relatives are doing at some other part of the world.

I am completely agree with the fact that Internet has brought us together.We all are part of this community and sharing our views and ideas without even knowing each other,don't you think it's the best example to answer this question.We have listen many cases of marraige where couple met on chat rooms and now spending life happily.One can talk to his relative,even watching him whether they are far away from each other.Thus Internet has just changed our life in all aspects and this change is better.

Never forget that the internet is another tool and medium to one's goal... for communication, networking and information. There is a line that needs to be drawn to strike a balance between socializing and getting connected to a friend or relative when it comes to relationships. I got in touch with my long lost school buddies after 2 decades.... that is absolutely amazing - the net has enabled that, it has brought us together. My school mates and I will meet up one day or when they are passing by or when I am passing by their place somewhere around the world we are going to drop by into each others place to say hello!

It is like how much TV you watch...the remote control is in your hands..what you watch is left up to the individual.

The Internet has revolutionised our world. A man sitting in the far end of the world can contact the relatives of his own who might may be at any part of the world. So, the internet has surely brought us together..............

Internet has helped us improve Relationship maintenance, no doubt.  It has completely replaced the old methods of communication and has facilitated keeping in touch with anybody, anywhere, anytime. Building and maintaining relations has ever become so fast and simple.

Of course , the internet brought us together but it is through machines only.The physical closeness does not have an alternative in this world. Whether there are  phones or internet the real happy lies in the physical closeness only...But for the people who are very apart from each other the internet is a powerfull and cheaper medium through which atleast they can share their feelings bymeans of digital letters......k its an invitable but the people should be aware that this is not an alternative for the affection the lies when the persons are physically at one place.....

I think that as like other aspects of life,the internet has also two aspects.But the important thing is that we are able to know the whole world in seconds with the internet with us .......what do you expect more from a informative media by sitting at our home.

We able to connect with friends and relatives who lives remotely. we should know how much time in a day to spend for this networking. if we meet people in person who really close to us and share good time with them, they will also join in this social networking and won't feel that they are missing something. So in this way our network will expand and we can do certain things together.

The internet has not only brought us together but given us forums to express ourselves when face to face. For example during face to face events we can use the likes of twitter to be involved in live debates and ask questions to presenters though the twitter # tag. Further more we can now have live webinars with massive global reach for either training or selling purposes.

The web is constantly evolving and each time it has we have been bought together further. I am personally looking forward to the next developments.

very obvious to say that internet has brought us together and it has made possible many impossibles also.Prior to that we people were affraid of doing STD & ISD to keep in relation with near ones because of high rates.Bt we can now easily think of keeping in touch with them through intenet with very minimal cost.Not only that we can also see them in our desktop screen,all thanks to internet.

This why we call the whole world now as Global village as everybody and anybody knows people from one corner to the other. So internet has made this world a much smaller place by connecting them, and people can get information within seconds and to me it has brought people closer than widening the gap.

Obviously internet has brought us together but its human nature to have some differences in thought process so there might be some distances created between few persons or communities or even nations but the core idea of internet is to bring people closer and making a global community.

In my opinion the Internet has brought the world together into a small one. We now have the opportunity to live in our own little worlds. The world has become a smaller place and hopefully we are on our way to realizing that we all have more in common than we have differences. If we can guide the population to the realization that we all have to protect the planet we live on and we have to co-operate to do so then we will have a future.

All these social sites are more or less are a result of an inevitable demand of people being feeling alone in these age of live in relationships & nucleus families.

Well whats the meaning of being together?

Does it mean that I have 200 or more connections here?

Does it mean that we are having interesting debated over social, political, financial or technical issues, a regular interaction with each other?

Or does it mean that a regular, avid and a competent member here asks for a job in a very candid manner as one can say to his what he seems very nearest & he gets only one positive response among 4 replies against his query, from his 200 connections?

How many of us are answering or ready for mentoring for students who asks very simple questions here?

On the other hand we are done with our part of 'duty' when we sent a sms or an e-mail to our so called dear friends on their B,days & anniversaries, is this togetherness?

We do have time to know about the world, do we know who is really living in the flat beside our?

I am not saying that it has pulled us apart, but do really we are together such?
