With the presentation day fast approaching, each of the group members have already completed their entire brainstorming page for the project. It’s interesting seeing all the different ways social media can affect us, how sometimes we allow it to control our lives and how the comparison game stems from social media. With that being said, there are also an equal amount of positives from social media which I found very surprising. This is because I have always know how there are multiple branches of effects that stem from social media such as depression, loneliness, addictions and more. But this project has also made me realize how many self-help resources there are online as well as support groups.
My task today that I completed was researching all those specific apps and resources that social media can provide. Originally I was only going to do the negative side of this project, however, after my curiousity getting the best of me I decided to add to both. I learned that there is even an app that distracts people who are wanting to act upon self harm by providing multiple games until the feeling passes. For the powerpoint slides, we collectively have added pictures that add to the content by using Unsplash as a tool for our presenation. Overall I believe the project is coming along quite well.
