Tech Friday #3

 We wanted to gather information on how social media affects teens in our English class. The first thing we asked was what forms of social media does a person use most? The three most common we believe are Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. We also included an other button to see if there were other forms of social media used. We discovered that Instagram is the most popular form of social media. Twitter comes in a close second and nobody chose Facebook. I believe that Instagram is the most common because it is easy to use and it is simple. I believe that Facebook is not used because it has become too crowded. Another thing that I found really interesting in our results was the fact that 70% of the kids in our class log into social media once or twice a day. That means they are taking time away from their day to check photos and posts from other teens almost constantly. This would be an interesting research project because we could study how social media affects time. Most of the other answers were not surprising; however, one thing that stood out to me was the question about cyber bullying. 60% of people said they see cyber bullying online. I used to think that SRVHS rarely had cyber bullying, but now I think differently.
