In this project we will be seeing how social media has become a part of our daily lives,
As a result of taking the use of social media survey I realized that I am not obsessed with the use of social media, the survay indicates as follows; 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!
I'm not fond of using social media every day, there are days where I don't even open the apps. I think i'm fine with my usage.
We all tend to believe that social media is bad for people, but I believe it's the best way to know what's going on around the world although it's not always positive. Here are a stats of how social media can have a postive impact
Social Media isn't a bad thing because indeed it has become a part of our daily lives, more than we know. It tends to be everywhere and everywhere. Those who don't have any type of socials are basiclly ghosts or unknown. There will always be a good and bad when using socials, typically those who are obsessed with their socials are just trying to find a way to escape and portray a lifestyle the user wants people to see. Others use it for information or the news. It's taken over, and its everywhere.
I have no issues with my socials, but I see the others do. I can do my best to help out those who need my help to refrain from always having to use them.
