This project was to see if social media is really addicting and does it have an impact on the brain.
This relates to my choice because most of time is on Youtube and Instagram. i watch Youtube because it is a free streaming service that includes world-wide videos. This is interesting because most would expect the most used social media apps to be used would be Tiktok , Snapchat, and X. Majority of the world decisions first really hit X and then proceeds to the other social media apps.
I believe that social media has a negative impact on society. Everyone sees someone else's life on social media and believe that they should be living that person's life. When in reality that person is living a fake life. Many people also compare themselves to celebrities and are more intune with their favorite celebrities lives then their own lives. Social Media has promoted people to idolize things that either aren't real or things that are pretty dangerous. Social Media feeds the dopamine level of the brain an unnatural way; which causes physical changes and psychological changes.
I have learned personally that I might need to go on disappearance from social media due to the negative effects. Social Media causes people to be absorbed in their world instead of real life. Being on social media has become a realistic expectation in the world today.
