Social media algorithms have a big impact on how we develop socially and how we connect with others. They decide what content we see, which really shapes our online experience.
Did you know that about 70% of social media users only see posts that match what they already believe? This is called a "filter bubble." It makes it harder for us to see different ideas and opinions.
Here’s how these algorithms affect us:
Less Face-to-Face Interaction: Research shows that teens who use social media a lot might talk face-to-face 30% less than before. This can lead to feelings of loneliness.
Emotional Well-Being: A survey found that 50% of social media users often feel anxious or sad. This is especially true because many feel pressured to show a perfect version of themselves online.
Communication Skills: Studies say that 40% of young adults find it hard to talk to people in person. They think this is because they spend so much time chatting online instead.
These numbers show just how much social media algorithms can affect our social lives and relationships today.
