In this project I will explain how social media is impacting the world and me, how social media hurts and helps our world.
When I was done taking the test it stated that I am quite addicted to social media it stated that.
"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?"
Personally I feel like there is no reason to rethink I only say this because as a college student it is excepted for someone like me to be in tune in social media. In society today 90% of teenagers are in tune with social media and that's how we get most of our news. Personally I am trying to reduce the time I spend on social media just because of my schedule and my screen time is too much now.
Out of the PewDew articles this one caught my eyes not only because it had to do with the project but because seeing the stats and seeing it in real life is completey different. meaning that people in my circle dont really correlate with the stats in my eyes.
In my opinion I feel like social media helps and hurts this society I say this because social media doesn't really bother the society. Having social media is like the news for the teens me personally I only use social media for the news. the cons of social media is some people get to addicted with it and put their main goals to the side. In conclusion social media is what you make of it.
What I picked up from this is I use social media to much which isnt a bad thing but not a good thing at the same time.
