Social Media Impact

For this project, I will learn about how much Social Media is in my daily life. And how much I have depend on for daily use. 

I have complete taking the social media addiction survey- “AM I ADDICTED TO SOCIAL MEDIA?” QUIZ, After taking the survey I have figure where I stand on the spectrum on social media. 

How frequently people report to engage with social media each day was the most interesting statistic in the articles. The information is consistent with how ages 18-29  and ages 30 is interact the most with these social media platforms. which shocked me since I thought it was going to show Gen Z up there to take the floor. Lowkey thought the adults would have less but when I think about there so many things in the work field that required a social platform to succeed. 

In my opinion,  social media has changed how we connect and communicate in significant ways. It allows people to stay in touch with family and friends, no matter the distance, and help create communities centered around shared interests. However, this connection comes with downside, like the spread of false information and the risk of people only seeing opinions that match their own, leading to division. It can also affect mental health, especially for younger users who might feel pressured to show a perfect life online. While social media can encourage positive interactions and awareness, it's important to think carefully about its impact on our lives. 

 During Unit 3 I have come to realize about how much social media I am using for daily life and I became attach with out aware how much am I missing out in my teenage life.  So now that I am aware how its controlling me I know how to block it and be able to focus on life while I am still young and able to enjoy my youth.
