Social Media Impact

Project description

For this project, we got to learn more about social media's impact on society and personal life.

Social Media Addiction Survey

"Am I ADDICTED to social media?" QUIZ

You’re FAIRLY RELIANT on social media

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?

I do need to rethink my usage of social media to not have a further addiction or conflict with my time and not let me do work. I have cited this early so it's on me if I don't improve.

Interesting Social Media Statistic

I found this stat the most interesting because before me seeing that chart I did not know they considered YouTube a social media, and how it has dominated the social media chart. I am not suprised that is the most used social media, because anyone can access YouTube and it is usable at any age. As for me I use YouTube for a variety of things like to learn, intretain and inform myself on a daily bases.

Social Media's Impact on Society

Social media can be considered negative or positive depending on its usage. In the media, they are much false information that can deceive you. The media can be addicting and consume your time and energy. On the positive side, you can interact with people around the world and share information. You can make a platform where you can grow and make connections that will help you get to your goal. In conclusion, social media can differ in the usage and the responsibilities taken by you.

Lesson Learned

I learned about my usage of social media and that I am fairly reliant on it. I also learned the effects of social media and some pretty interesting stats I didn't know before.
