Social Media Impact

Description

Seeing the impact of social media to me and to society all together.

Social Media Addiction Survey

I took a "AM I ADDICTED TO SOCIAL MEDIA" quiz to see how my relationship with social media is. To which I got;

"Congratulations! Psychologists estimate that as many as 5 to 10% of Americans meet the criteria for social media addiction today. But luckily, that's not you! Not checking social media every few minutes doesn't make you feel anxious, as you prefer to live 'in the moment' rather than through your apps. You use social media to your advantage, at work and to connect with friends and family, but you know when to put it away. Keep it up!"

This summarizes me pretty well with my relationship with social media. Compared to the last year, my use in social media decreased. It's good to not feel so absorbed in social media.

Interesting Social Media Impact

An interesting social media impact that I saw was the rise in TikTok users within the last few years. Which has gone above Facebook.

Social Media Impact on Society - Opinion

I believe that social media has negatively impacted society. There are the standards that people try to follow and would use these standards to push on others and harass them. Along with social media putting others in harm by increasing popularity to those who don't really need a platform. More negatives outweigh the positives to which I say social media impacts negatively.

Lessons Learned

I learned that I have a good relationship with social media and understand the impacts that people can do/have because of social media.
