As we were asked to make a podcast for an assignment in my social media class, I was actually excited for this because I love talking and doing podcasts. I actually use to do a podcast with my brother when I was younger and we actually became pretty popular from it and we had a blast making it, which made me excited for this!
For my podcast, my first problem I talked about with social media was the amount of people who have social media in the world and how addictive it can be. For example, I love social media and I think it is great for promoting yourself and your business, but it has became so addictive that we have forgotten how to socialize without phones. Also, social media can be a false narrative and make it seem like certain people live a perfect and flawless life, and no one is perfect. I think social media has become to addictive and has led to a lot of false narratives.
Secondly, I talked about the amount of very young people that have social media. For example, I am talking 10-12 year old's with social media. I discussed how there is zero benefits of someone that young having social media and how it can lead to problems. These problems can be very scary, including kidnappings and talking to completely fake people, it sounds scary, but it is the reality. When you are that young on social media, you do not enough have enough knowledge about those things.
Over more, I think social media is great for certain things, but it has just became too addictive and has too many false narratives. It can also lead to younger people using it and not knowing what they are truly doing with it.
Adam, I loved how you mentioned that so many people at a young age are getting into social media and how harmful it can be to them. I believe that that age is kind of young and if they are on social media that should have some restrictions. Keep up the good work!
