Project Description:
In this project I took a survey and looked at some articles to find out the effects that social media has on people.
Social media survey:
After finishing the survey, I found out that I have a fairly good relationship with social media. I realized my results were probably off though, because the options seemed leading. Most of the answers to the questions seemed to be for people that have an addiction to social media.
3.Social media statistic:
I think the most surprising thing about social media is the age gap of people that use a certain application. I did expect applications like Facebook to be popular among older people and apps like TikTok to be popular among the younger generation. The most surprising thing that I found out was that snapchat seemed to be the most popular among all age groups.
4. Social media's impact:
I believe that social media has its pros and cons. Social media keeps us connected and up to the date with current events but seems to create unrealistic standards for people. I think that these unrealistic standards created by social media can have a negative effects on people especially the younger minds.
5. Lesson learned:
I learned that social media can be addicting and have a negative effect on someone's self esteem.
