UNIT 3  Social Media Impact 

Social Media's Impact on Society:          

 I Believe that social media has a great impact on Society today, As i previously stated, Social media is super prevalent in todays age, and is so Accessible as well. From you tube, to TikTok, to Instagram, It has the potential to be either a Big help, or a big distraction.  I Think if us as users really took the time to monitor how often and how frequently we use social media, we can use it for its original intended purpose, that is as a tool to help us move forward in Our life, to be more productive, gain knowledge, and Understandings on some things we may need help understanding. But that's only if we put forth the proper effort to do this. Because right now that's not at all where we are. Social media I think Hurts a lot more people than it helps, and again this is a result of The Users choices. I think that in reality, its us that really need to be Addressed, not the platforms themselves.  

Lessons Learned:

 I Learned That Social Media Can be a bad thing for you, and in some extreme cases can literally Degrade a persons quality of life. But We can fix this by changing the way we view and Act as it relates to social media usage. Decreasing our average screen times, spending less time scrolling, and spending more time Living.
