Social media is everywhere \u2013 in our phones, in our daily routines, and even in our conversations. They are a powerful tool to discover new opportunities, but excessive use can generate negative effects.<\/p>\n
The time spent by young people on social networks varies considerably<\/strong>, from: “A day, about two hours, three” to “Almost all day”.<\/p>\n Another young man mentioned to us “It depends, if it is a less working day, if it is a more rest day”.<\/p>\n At the moment, there is a wide range of content available on social networks, and everyone has their preferences<\/em>.<\/p>\n “As for cooking recipes, something funny and fashion more” says the young woman.<\/p>\n But in the top was TikTok<\/strong>: “More TikTok for funny videos”; “TikTok, more jokes and football” the young people answered.<\/p>\n While social media provides opportunities to connect and learn<\/strong>, young people recognise that overuse can come with less desirable effects.<\/p>\n “It gives me an idea of what outfits to wear to work, what menu to cook, there are ingenious and quick recipes and I spend time, so it goes by faster,” said a young woman.<\/p>\n “Some can contribute well, others negatively, but I assume that most of them are good,” the young woman replied<\/p>\n One of the young people told us: “For me it contributes because I am passionate about traveling, about their experiences of living in other countries”.<\/p>\n This trend shows how much social media has become an integral part of young people’s daily routines, raising questions about the balance between the digital and real worlds.<\/em><\/p>\n
