35 - P2

PART 1 of P2

For this task we had to analyse the positive and negative effects of Social media Products. I interviewed four people on the matter and each gave good answers to the questions I asked in my survey. Below are all five questions I have created for my survey. Below contains each answer by each person for my questions:

1) How many hours a day do you use social media? 
(Starter question just to get a basic background of social media use)

• A couple of hours casually throughout the day. (Positive as this person has motive to talk to friends with a specific social media.)
• 3 - 4 hours. (Very casual, not a all negative. Used because its a friends use it as it is the only way to communicate to certain friends.)
• 3 hours (Positive vibe because they communicate to friends.)

2) Do you regularly message friends on social media and why?

• Yes to communicate and talk to friends.
• Yes to organise events and have conversation with people.
• Yes to communicate and play games with friends.

All of the answers above are all positive as they all communicate with friends in free time or for work. Playing games with them shows a motive of having fun which clearly shows positivity,

3) How many people on your friends list do you know in person?

• 60%
• 100%
• 100%

All of the answers above shows that they are positive that they know who is on their friends list as it is above average. Most of them are friends and the others are people they know from school.

4) Has Social Media given you a positive or negative experience and why?

• Positive as they meet new people
• Majority positive as they follow funny posts
• Negative because it can be a waste of time

All of the answers above shows the different points of view of what an experience of social media can be. Majority are positive because they choose what they like and follow but as the answer above shows negativity is because they probably would do better stuff that would help their life choices.

PART 2 of P2

This part of P2 will explore three different sites where they provide their opinion of whether the effect of social media is positive or negative. Here are three points of view from three different sites:

SCHOOL REPORT

POSITIVES

This BBC article states that it can be easier to stay in touch with family and friends. You can also make new friends by befriending mutual friends to add to your friends list.

NEGATIVES

BBC also gave a statistic reinforcinf the negative they make here. They found that 37% of the people they questioned had been losing sleep left needing more due to the use of social media late at night.

They also said that it can be a waste of time. This is because people can visit a site to check one single thing and then they spend the whole day 'behind the screen'. They won't be doing anything useful with their lives.

SOCIAL MEDIA TODAY

POSITIVES

Social media emphasise that humans need social media as they are naturally social creatures. Other people are needed for support which is why social media connects humans with many other people that are not a doorstep away. Another positive is that it can give access to lots of educational opportunities. There are now lots of videos if you need help like 'How to' videos on the Internet. This can be simple or quick depending on what you want to do.

NEGATIVES

Lots of news that isn't real can be found all over social media. Lots would be displayed as real for click bait reasons or to create a stir. Unfortunately, there are of lot of people that believe what they see without looking further for proper and reliable evidence.

TECH BEAD

POSITIVES

Teach bead give a clear and concise point saying that social sites are always increasing in popularity. There sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. The popularity is increasing due to a beneficial choice was has risen that its great for communication for the bloggers, article writers and content creators.

NEGATIVES

Lastly they provide a negative point that social media leads to addiction. Lots of hours are spent on these sites as it can a  disruptive influence and will divert one from a particular task they wanted to carry out.

It lowers the motivational level of the people as they will instantly not care about the task they wanted to carry out before they are diverted away from it from pointless distractions.
