Social Media Impact

Project Description

The project helps you to examine your own use of social media and consider how society has been using it.

Social Media Addiction Survey Results

After looking at the survey I was a bit surprised because I don't think that I'm reliant on social media. The results said I was fairly reliant on social media. This might mean that the quiz is slightly biased because the whole website is called "Am I Addicted to Social Media". So if it calls everyone addicted to social media people might read more of the article.

Interesting Social Media Statistic

One statistic that I found interesting is that people spend 8 hours a day on social media in the UK (ItsTimetoLogOff.com). Another statistic that I find intersting is that adults under the age of 30 are more likely to use Instagram, SnapChat, TikTok and Reddit (pewresearch.org)

Social Media Impact

I think social media has done some good and some bad. It connects people together that wouldn't have met any other way. It can also give helpful information in a short time. There are also a downside. It can condition people to only be able to watch short term content. This creates a lower attention span even off social media.

Lessons Learned

This project taught me that people use social media alot more than I do. Eight hours a day is alot of time to spend scrolling. On the other hand, I spend alot of time playing video games, much more than I spend on social media. If there was a quiz about video game use my time would be much higher.
