I chose this video because I find it very interesting and entertaining. He basically starts with only one penny and works his way up in money by buying and selling things for profit.
I didn't find any usage policy or licensing information for this video.
I learned a lot creating this project. I learned all about what creative commons is and how to properly give credit to peoples work. And I also learned about the different types of digital media
Project description: For this project I have been assigned to share my informed opinion on the impact of social media on society and if it has a positive or negative impact
after taking the survey I realized I need to lower my social media intake just a little bit.
My 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
I found this statistic to be the most interesting because it gives you data on the most used websites online by US adults and I also learned that 13% of American adults use a app called Nextdoor which I've never heard of before
In my opinion, social media has a negative and also positive effect on society. Social media is a tool that can be used to help people be able to express themselves, meet new people, and also for entertainment purposes. But social media is also very addicting and depending on how you utilize it social media can ruin someone's ability to make real world connections due to the fact that people no longer have to be in real world scenarios to be able to meet new people and connect with them. I also believe that social media can make people be very performative to the point where on social media it seems like they are such a great person and have their life together but really behind all the posts they don't and are a completely different person. Overall, I would actually say that the bad outweighs the good but there is still good that comes with it.
Completing this project, I learned that I definitely need to lower my personal screen time in order to better my life
