Social Media Social Media is one of the greatest developments in human history. Over 3.6 billion people worldwide use it. Social Media is something that’s free and easy to access, yet sometimes it doesn’t feel very social. There are many different types of social media, which can affect life depending on what you're using it for, whether that’s communicating with others, staying up to date with news, or just keeping yourself busy. Personally, I use social media every day, and I know what it can do to someone. I have spent the past 2 weeks learning more about different types of social media and what they. First, I will describe how we stay connected with others on social media, using different apps. Then, I will talk about how we use social media to be caught up with the news. Lastly, I’ll be explaining how we use it to keep ourselves busy. Most people use social media to stay connected with friends. According to Patricia Reaney’s articles “Most of the world interconnected through email and social media”, she says that over 62 percent of people communicate through social networking sites. This obviously increases more and more every day. In the “Instagram Statistics 2021: How Many People Use Instagram” the author says that according to Instagram statistics over 375 million monthly active users use Instagram's direct feature. Which is just texting over Instagram. Some people even use more than one social media app to talk to the same person at the same time. Example: someone can be texting their friend, but also snapping them on snapchat, and the conversations will be completely different. Some people don’t even use social media to communicate, they just like to know what’s happening. People like to use social media to stay up to date with the news. In an article on Socialmediatoday, Andrew Hutchinson states. “New Research Shows that 71% of Americans Now Get News Content via Social Platforms” Elisa Shearer, a writer for Pew research said that “About two-thirds of U.S. adults say they get news at least sometimes from news websites or apps (68%) or search engines, like Google (65%). About half (53%) say they get news from social media, and a much smaller portion say they get news at least sometimes from podcasts (22%)” In the article “More Americans Are Getting Their News From social media ” Pew Research reporters noted that, "social media is now a part of the news diet of an increasingly large share of the U.S. population." While many people use social media for news, they also just use it for entertainment. Social media is one of the main things people use to keep themselves busy “In the article Social Media Now a Leading Entertainment Source” Paul Holmes goes on to say that. Almost threequarters (73 percent) of 18–24 year old's in the U.S. and 61 percent in the U.K. see social networks as a form of entertainment. Fifty percent (US) and 56 percent (UK) of respondents aged 35-49 also consider social networking sites as a form of entertainment. The beginning of covid, with social distancing and staying at home orders, many people used social media to keep themselves busy. People were posting all the time, and doing tik tok challenges, to just have something to do. People like to share their lives with others, and that’s easy with social media To wrap this up, many people use social media to communicate with others to stay up to date with news, and to just entertain themselves. There are many different types of social media, which can affect life depending on what you're using it for, whether that’s communicating with others, staying up to date with news, or just keeping yourself busy. Sometimes social media doesn’t feel social, but it does help us when we need it.
