Social Media Impact

Project Description

For my social media project I will be researching the impact social media have on today's society and I'll also be taking the social media addiction quiz.

Lessons Learned

After completing this project, I learned that social media impacts society in a negative way, and we can all fall victim.

Social Media Addiction Survey

I just completed my social media addiction quiz and the results came out great.

You have a HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP with social media - well done!

Congratulations! Psychologists estimate that as many as 5 to 10% of Americans meet the criteria for social media addiction today. But luckily, that's not you! Not checking social media every few minutes doesn't make you feel anxious, as you prefer to live 'in the moment' rather than through your apps. You use social media to your advantage at work and to connect with friends and family, but you know when to put it away. Keep it up!

Older teen girls are especially likely to have experienced bullying online.

Interesting Social Media Statistic

An interesting fact I found in this article

Social Media's Impact on Society

I would say social media is impacting society negatively because the more time you spend on social media can lead to cyberbullying and anxiety, l and you can also be exposed to content that is not of age. Social is very addicting. Too much social media use leading to inactivity is an underlying cause of unhealthy weight this becomes dangerous for your health because it increases your risk of factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
