Social Media Usage Survey

Project Info:

This project is to see how social media impacts me and the world. Also to see if that impact is good, bad, or neutral.

Social Media Addiction Quiz:

I took the “AM I ADDICTED TO SOCIAL MEDIA?” quiz and got

"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?"

After seeing this I realized my usage is fairly good. Now the amount of time I spend on social media is on a slow decline with other important things taking up my time.

Social Medias Impact:

In my opinion Social medias impact is a neutral state. It is good and bad at the same time, it can be used to help people but also used to hurt people. It all depends on how the people use, the internet is a part of the people who use it. They put a part of themselves on the internet, that could be a part they always show or a part they always hidden.

Lesson Learned:

I learned more about social medias impact on society. I also learned how social media is being used and what types of people use it for their day-to-day lives.
