Some food for thought…
Social media
represents
the #1
internet
activity
Statistics retrieved from http://www.businessinsider.com/social-media-engagement-statistics-2013-12 and http://www.cnbc.com/id/100275798
The NEGATIVE impact
of social media
of bullied teens are targeted

of employers have found social
media-based information that has
refrained them from employing
potential workers
-Mindflash.com
87 % 35 %
of divorces in the US have been linked
to Facebook
-Third Age
61 %
of American girls use social
media to make themselves
appear “cooler”
-Study by Girl Scouts of
America

represents the population of
American teens who used texting as
a means of communication in 2009,
doubling from 2006 when it was 27 %.
-Pew Research Center
54 %
The percentage of
productivity in the office that
Facebook reduces.
-Nucleus Research
1.5 %
More effects
of internet sex crimes in
America are initiated via a
social networking site
-Journal of Adolescent Health
29 %
= an unsafe, unhappy,
unemployed global
population that is no
longer able to
communicate face to
face?
How did we used to spend our time?

According to
distractify.com,
Americans
spend 90 % of
their lives
indoors.
Some statistics:In 2010, Canadians
spent approximately
1.4 hours less on
ACTIVE leisure
activities (compared
to 1998) … = More time
spent online?
-hrsdc.gc.ca
Canadians use the most
social media out of every
country in the world; 82 %
of Canadians belong to
some sort of social
network.
-canadiansinternet.com
Leisure time is used to
describe time spent away
from work and/or other
responsibilities – a very
important aspect of living
a well-balanced life.
-hrsdc.gc.ca
In the year 2000, only
12.1 % of Canadians
had broadband
internet. This
percentage increased
to 97 % in 2012.
-crtc.gc.ca
Have we just simply entered a new age?
Perhaps social media use is
just a trend..
After all, there was a time
when owning even a television
set was not the social norm.
Eventually, it may phase out,
and we will be more
concerned with completely
different issues.
May be more of a balancing act
If social media use is here to stay, it should be balanced with
other activities, and monitored for its safe use, so that it is
ENHANCING our lives, and serving a necessary purpose.
