This assignment was about social media and its impact on society. My opinion and my own addiction was revealed!
Social Media Impact
Social Media Impact
To be honest I feel like social media has been a gift and a curse. People have had the luxury of being in solitude but never lonely, which Im sure is a benefit to their emotional health. On the other hand some people have gotten so used to interacting online that they don't have the same in person etiquette. When used for its intended purpose social media is a great tool. When overused and misused social media is another grave tragedy of my time.
My Social Media Addiction
My Social Media Addiction
After taking the quiz I realized I am doing better than I once was. I reduced my social media accounts and usage. Fairly is much better than totally. Check out my results and take the quiz to find out your own!
"You' re fairly reliant on social media, but there are far worse culprits! Still, it's good to be reminded that UK adults spend an average of 8 hrs 41 mins on screens every day, and 4 hours of that on smartphone apps alone (mainly social media). That's about a third of each day checking apps. Do you need to rethink your social media habits and the amount of time you spend scrolling?"

Interesting Social Media Statistic
This statistic was interesting to me because I dont have social media accounts that my age range use most (facebook and youtube). I don't use the social media platforms that my age range uses least either (snapchat, tiktok and twitter). I fall right in the middle and that is where the accuracy is. The only social media account that I have is instagram.

After completing this module I know some cool statistics about social media users. I also know about my social media habits and how much I rely on them throughout my day. I don't overuse or misuse it the way I feel most people do these days.
