For this project we dove into the impacts of social media and how it impacts our daily lives.
After taking the “Am I ADDICTED to social media?” QUIZ, these are the results I was given. "You might not be 100% addicted (yet!), but you definitely need to evaluate how much time you're spending scrolling on your social media accounts. It may not be making you happy. One study by Facebook of teen Instagram users in the US and UK found more than 40% of those who reported feeling “unattractive” said the feelings started when using Instagram. It's a good time to start thinking about decluttering your digital life through a social media and digital detox! " I definitely need to step back from social media a little bit and rethink how i spend my time. All though its not as serious the amount of time i spend on social media definitely makes me feel a certain way afterwards.
Now there was some interesting social media statistics on this site called Pew Research Center about the spread between adults that seperate these platforms so much.
Me personally, I have been using YouTube my whole life I feel and it has became so much more than a social media outlet. It has became a way for people to express themselves more than they ever have before and reach others all across the world.
I personally think that social media has so many pros and cons that can really battle the decision to eliminate social media out of someones life for good. Being able to express yourself and put things out for everyone to see is really the only way for others around the world to truly see you and the things you are posting about. Expression of art and just feel good style pictures is something I love to share and is something that fights the thoughts that I have about eliminating social media as a whole. Its a evil place 100%, so much bad is caused by social media and that ties back to being able to reach anyone in the world so it also creates that outlet for all of the evil in the world. I think the higher ups and everyone that controls these platforms have to much intention of trying to keep everyone on there platform and engaeged at all times which at the end of the day really can be harmful and only cause more ploblems in the world.
I learned a lot about this topic while doing this research! From different statistics about social media and specifically about how YouTube has been turned into the biggest social media output in the world.
