This project is about how you contribute to the use of social media and it's impact in your life.
"You have a HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP with social media" Surprised? No. I am not suprised because social media does not control my decisions in life nor does it stop me from getting things done.
(Age groups usage results)
I find it interesting that adults ages 18-29 are a shocking result for using social media platforms the most as being users of these apps. These apps became popular when my generation (older gen Z) became aware of the internet and took a strong holding onto mobile devices.
Social media's impact started by connecting and communicating and niw has taken a turn. In today's world social media is like a good book you can't turn down or "our everything in one" meaning it contains everything there is to know about us. Society rely on social media for everyday things including "how to" videos instead of reading physical books, manuals, recipes or magazines for inspiration and knowledge of a topic. Social media users are using these platforms to research people and everything about them as I like to call them "internet agents" meaning those internet detectives find any and everything about you.
After completing this project, I have learned that social media will find a way to keep thriving. I did not know education was equated into the use of social media. Reddit is a great example because I never sought interest in the platform but have always seen it as a result during my Google searches. I learned something from each part of this project from upload images, trying to figure out which one are supported by this system to learning about social media survey results.
