Project Description: In this project i explored social media and the impact it has on society as well as myself in general. Focusing in on the affects and the time a day we spend on are phones/ Social media.
Social media Addiction Survey: After taking the "Am I Addicted to social media" Quiz. I relized that i am fairfly addicted to social media. Results stated "You're fairly reliant on social media, but there are far worse culprits! Still, it's good to be reminded that UK adults spend an average of 8 hrs 41 mins on screens every day, and 4 hours of that on smartphone apps alone (mainly social media). That's about a third of each day checking apps. Do you need to rethink your social media habits and the amount of time you spend scrolling?" After this i think that putting down the phone every once and a while will help keep my mood and motivation up but im not addicted to where it is a huge problem. Rethinking my habits will change them for the better.
Interesting social Media Statistics: The most interesting statistics i found on pew research is the age gap of people using facebook and the newly found social medias. Seeing that i didnt create my facebook till around 17 but created other accounts by age 10
