This project will be talking about how social media has impacted society by showing examples for articles and how i myself am addicted
After completing the "Am I Addicted to social media" quiz it said that I and fairly reliant to the use of social media and I agree with it because I wouldn't say I'm addicted but i do tend to use social media more than i would like to. I will take this feed back to slowly stop using social media constantly and bettering my well being for me and others around
An Interesting fact about social media that I found was that the top 3 most used social media apps by adults are Youtube, Facebook, and Instagram and I can relate to this because as a young adult I constantly see myself and my peers around me using mainly youtube and Instagram, So I can tell that it is true.
In my honest opinion I think that social media has done a lot of damage to the society we know today. In many ways it has impacted society with the way we interact with people, learn and how we buy things. It has changed the way we talk to others, how many people use social media to find friends even significant others which isnt the best way to meet people since many people live different lives on social media. It also effects the way we learn things, social media does have some factual information but lots of it is false which lots of people believe in and that harms society. Then how we buy things sometimes we rely on others to tell us what is right to buy which is impactful because we never really learn/ have an idea of what we do end up buying. So in conclusion social media is a virus to society which grows bigger every day.
I learned lots about how social media impacts society and myself. Now I'm putting myself on a path to better my well being by limiting my social media usage and spending my time in the real world.
