This project will talk about how social media impacts society in a good way or in a bad way.
Taking the quiz, I have realized that I am addicted to social media and I will be on social media for hours and get easily distracted.
One interesting fact I learned adults under 30 are more known to use Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram while adults above 30 use social media apps such Facebook, LinkedIn, and Nextdoor.
Its not a big surprise since these apps that bring in a younger audience have more entertainment purposes and so therefore its been blowing up while these older apps are somewhat dying because the younger audience arent using it but the people who are older and have been using it since it was first introduced.
Social media has impacted society in a way where it can be considered good and bad due to how people use it. In today's era more people use social media as an everyday thing and cannot comprehend what they would do if they didn't have it, so people get more addicted and lose conscious of the task they are doing in that moment which can make them fall behind. Some good points that it has impacted in today's society is how great the communication system has been and it's a good way to express yourself on the media and say the things you want to say to others who are far away from you. Some negatives that can be considered is how people follow other people/trends that can be really bad for you since you want to copy people, and they can also change your own views to make you think that you are in the wrong. In the end I believe that social media has impacted society in a bad way because it can spread misinformation, people can bully you on there and you won't be able to do anything, and it can impact the kids that are on it since they can be so gullible and are vulnerable.
I have learned that these newer apps that are upcoming are mostly used by adults under 30 and its mostly entertainment apps like Instagram, or TikTok that's relatively new and brings in a lot of the younger audience. I also learned that I could fall under the influence of people that are addicted to social media because I spend most of my days on social media and sometimes get distracted when im doing my work
