Finding A Solution To Social Media

We have invented some great stuff but is Social Media one of them?
One way to quantify the value of a product is to find out how many of the people who use it and as half of Western teenagers have a Social Media account with one of the many platforms available, it is very popular but it can be hard for people who don’t like social media to avoid it, because when everyone else is on it, the abstainers begin to miss out on information, trends and gossip. This is especially painful for adolescents.
As Generation Z, defined as people born from 1997 to 2012, are the major users of Social Media, it was they that the Social Psychologist Unit at New York University’s Stern School of Business asked about their own social media use, about their views on the effects of social media on themselves and on society and about what kinds of reforms they’d support.
They found YouTube, Instagram and Tik Tok are the most-used platform for Gen Z and spend on average over four hours a day on social media  but interestingly when it comes to the impact on themselves, almost half wishes that social media platforms didn’t exist.
Psychologists have warned about the severe effect on mental state due to information overload and addiction to mobile phone and other gadgets is increasing with a rise in behavioral issues including stress, fatigue, anxiety, fear of missing out and phubbing or ignoring loved ones damaging relationships.
The Social Media sites design their sites to keep people on them and return again and again but if half the users wish it never existed, but keep on using it anyway despite knowing the damage it can cause them mentally, it is hard to see how a solution can be found because a similar battle against cigarettes has been ongoing for decades and that dilemma has never been solved either.
