Risk of being addicted to social media and changing oneself to impress others.
These effects are on culture and society, and there are other effects that affect economics.
3. (POGIL) If you were a developer of one of the social media apps that you discussed, how would you reduce the harmful effects?
Answer
If I were a developer for Instagram, i would begin to reduce the harmful effects by allowing users to choose what they want to see- what type of content and media. This is a problem nowadays, people are exposed to things that they don’t necessarily want to see or spend too much time looking for what hey DO want to see. This would eliminate some of the problems relating to wastage of time on social media and would decrease the risk of people seeing what they don’t want to. In addition, many accounts that are anonymous are used for devious purposes such as attacking other accounts with comments and spam, some are designed to bring people in for scamming purposes, and some are robots designed to gain followers for the owner’s benefit. These are not the intended uses for social media, so i would take down accounts like these to make the community more positive and user friendly.
