Human contact is fundamentally network-based. Humans can be thought of as nodes, and information—particularly ideas—is passed from one person to another. Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter have risen significantly to model the interactions between two users. Thus, these sites were designed from the beginning to simulate the social networks that are present in human society. However, the use of social media can be addictive and intrusive in one’s life. To measure the impact of social media on one’s mind, the social media disorder scale has been developed to diagnose social media disorder. This scale questions 9 factors of a social media disorder: preoccupation, tolerance, withdrawal, persistence, displacement, problems, deception, escape, and conflict. According to the DSM, a score of at least a 5 out of 9 indicates a social media disorder. When I tested myself against the social media disorder scale, I scored a 0 out of 9. This indicates the absence of a social media disorder. However, this score will vary person to person based on personality types or the purpose of using social media. Although many social networking sites provide for a direct message capacity that permits one-on-one communications, most social networking interaction is driven by publication of content either to the world or to one or more users of a social connection.
