For this project I explored the Impact social media has on people and how It can effect peoples lives.
After taking the “AM I ADDICTED TO SOCIAL MEDIA?” QUIZ, I have learned that I have a healthy relationship with social media and I do not need to change the ways I Interact with these sites.
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!
Creating a healthy relationship with social media allows me to feel the benefits of social media but also means knowing when to distance myself from these apps. Although I don't feel an attachment to social media, the less you use It the better so cutting down my time on these apps may be beneficial.

Social Medias Impact on Society
Social Medias Impact on Society
social media has an everlasting Impact on society. Social media allows us to communicate easier, being able to communicate with people hundreds of miles away has developed relationships and led to a more connected world. I am able to find a community and connect with people who have similar Interests and likings at me. Social media can be very time consuming which Is a negative effect but being responsible and practicing time management skills ensure It doesnt consume you. After exploring social media I believe that It has a very positive Impact on society.
