Week 5 Social Media Survey

Social Media Survey

Above is the survey I shared on Facebook and encouraged my friends and peer to complete to assist me in understanding further the role social media plays in their every day lives.


I only had it up for three days until I got ten responses.

My findings were that the most easily accessible sites were used most frequently, aka able to be easily checked on a mobile phone while away from home,

None of my participants admitted to feeling anxious after having not checked their platforms for a set perioud of time, which I was supprised about,

In the free written response, there was a reocurring them around liking being able to silently 'stalk' or 'creep' other users without their knowledge,

The highest percentage of users responded that they are on their most valuable platforms every 30 minutes to an hour (not including sleep time)!,

100% of participants said they were happy with thier social media presence..

My conclusions were that:
Facebook and Instagram were the most popular platforms unsuprising, due to their ease of access and sharing capabilities, the lack of anxiety when normal check ins aren't done may suggest that social media is only valuable because it is available, and is not vital to an individuals exsistence, the 'stalking' abilities of these platforms rather than frighten users, is actually one of their favourite abilities, more frequent check ins (30 mins to an hour) are more prevalent than an hour long chat session or profile update & all users who participated in my survery said they were happy with theit social media presence, signalling my social media friend demographic are seemingly more mindful of their profiles than the stereotypical 'party animal' profile presence discussed (who would seem questionable to potential employers) so frequently.
