Digital Media

Project Description

For this project I explored has social media has a impact on myself and on society.

Social Media Addiction Survey

After taking the the Social Media Addiction Survey it stated,

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?

I would somewhat agree with the results of the quiz. I should defintely try to lessen my social media use a little bit.

Interesting Social Media Statistic

In a survey done 81% of people say that they use youtube. This was the most out of any of the other social media sites with facebook coming in second at 69%.

Social Medias Impact on Society

I feel that social media has both a good and bad impact on society. For one it can be a good way for you to communicate with people and make new friends. However social media can cause people can cause people to be self concious about themselves because they want to look like the people they see on social media. Also many people are bullied on social media sites.

Lessons Learned

I learned that I spend to much time on social media. I also learned that social media can have some good and also bad impacts.
