@AshleyL97192320 From personal expirence I think taking breaks from social media. Whether that be only using it for a certain amount of time or deleting the app for a week. I also think using it as a tool and not for a distraction or a form of constant entertainment may be another way. #COMM3120
@madisonbryce2 I agree that social media can be a huge distraction, if the users allows it to be. Would you say that this is one of the top negative things that comes from social media? I’m not sure it’s the most critical one, but I think it can lead to a more critical consequences#COMM3120
@mchris929 I agree! I think that the younger generations would know a lot less about what is going on. I know that myself and my friends all get our news from social media or online sites. Do you think it’s harder to find credible news sources through social media than tv news?#COMM3120
@goofygoober1990 Conner, do you think that people have different lenses depending on how they use social media? It’s seems that you may use it for business and to be social. Do you view it differently depending on which posting you are doing? Hopefully what I’m asking makes sense!
@kasslikesdal@DeuelPaige I am with you Kassidy, I lean more negative than positive but I wish I didn’t. I don’t like to see myself as a negative person, but the negative consequences of social media outweigh the positives (in my opinion). #COMM3120
@SkylerD82195598 First person that I have seen so far who is a different lens than realist. Just like Makail, I am curious how you are able to focus on the positives when there are so many negatives? Do you try to avoid people on social media who tend to be negative? #COMM3120
@laurenyorkk2 This is a different way of looking at it that I hadn’t thought about. I would love to see the changes that would happen to social media and it’s impact on mental health is people started being honest, real, and overall nice to each other. #COMM3120
@minimomblake I like how you brought up how it is dependent on the user whether what they share is positive or negative. I agree with that. I think that in the beginning it was suppose to be a positive thing, but users have changed that based on what they share and say. #COMM3120
@kokowood1 Loved your question! I think that my personal experiences or seeing my friends experiences on social media have lead me to my lens decision. Personal experiences influence me more than stats or facts. #COMM3120
I consider myself a realist with the social media lenses. I think that social media is great and has lead to many great relationships and connections. Although I don’t know if the benefits outweigh the costs of social media. #COMM3120
