Impact Of Social Media

Description of Project

The Impact of Social Media in today's society.

Social Media Survey Quiz

Here are my results of the survey. I had thought I did a good job with balancing social media but not as much as I thought.

"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 am glad that I'm not completely and fully addicted because I definitely thought I wasn't. But I do need to cut down some of the time I spend on social media for sure.

An Interesting Stat of Social Media

One stat that I had seen is that most adults still really use Facebook as a main source of social media only behind YouTube. I had originally thought Facebook was dying off in the past few years. But clearly it has not and is still one of the most used social media sites. I don't use Facebook at all I only use Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube. So it is interesting to see that most people still use Facebook regularly.

How is Social Media Impacting Society

I believe social media is having a positive and negative impact on society. While it is negative because of things like cyberbullying. It is also having a positive affect. Giving smaller companies and local companies a platform to advertise their product. It is giving them an outlet to be able to be successful and profitable.

What I have learned from this Unit

I learned that Facebook still has one of the largest usages of the social media category
I learned that I am still slightly addicted to social media
