Social media has caused negative health effects in its users. One of these negative effects is the impact on a user’s perception of time. Time perception is typically warped while using social media and may even affect users who are addicted, even outside of using social media. The research covered the definitions of time, perception, and social media, as well as social media addiction, formatting, consumer response, and how these factors can change our brain over time. The research concluded with case studies that provide evidence of social media negatively affecting users’ perception of the passage of time. Time perception is among many other ways that social media can impact a person’s brain health and psyche, and it should be further researched to raise awareness and protect social media consumers.
