Social Media Impact

Project Description

For this project i had to go online and see how much social media impacts me and society as a whole

Social Media Addiction Survey

I took the “AM I ADDICTED TO SOCIAL MEDIA?” QUIZ I would say yes i use social media way to much but hopefully in the future i can change the way it is. I would say daily i spend about 3-4 hours on social media and if i get to watching TikTok that day then sometimes even 5. The results are,

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?

Social Media Statistic

I found that the most surprising and interesting statistic that was in the article provided was, the age gaps in users for various social media apps. I find this true because of the people that i know within my family who uses these particular apps.

Social Medias Impact on Society

My opinion on the social medias impact today is that we really on our phones and social media way too much instead of living the moment were in right now. But a good thing about having social media is i think my bond with my friends and family have become better over time because i can stay in touch and grow with them. But also, i stay on my phone watching TikTok or scrolling through Instagram rather than going outside or playing with my animals i get caught up in being glued to my phone. But in a bigger aspect if something urgent happens we need to know about it so i think social media has a better out loot on society then a negative.

Lessons Learned

My usage with my phone and on social media needs to take a step back a little bit maybe to an hour or two on social media rather than 3-4 but overall, not as bad as some other people in the world. Still not goo though.
