In this project I'm tasked to show the impact of social media on society.
In my social media quiz showed that I have a healthy relationship with social media, which I agree with. I don’t spend most of my time on social platforms, although I do think I could spend even less time online.
One thing I found especially interesting was learning that a 71-year-old uses Instagram. From my experience, older people usually do not use or enjoy social media, so this really stood out to me.
In my society, the impact of social media has been mostly negative. With the rise of AI-generated videos, it has become easier for misinformation to spread because some videos look so realistic that people believe them without question. TikTok has also become addictive for many people today. Even I’ve found myself slightly addicted to it at times. A lot of people wake up and end up scrolling on TikTok for half the day.
However, social media does have some positive effects. It offers great opportunities for creators, especially since everyone spends time online now.
