Journal Entry #9

I scored a 2 on the Social Media Disorder Scale, which means I fall into the risky usage range. The only two “yes” answers I gave were for neglecting other activities and having occasional arguments related to my use. I think the items in the scale are good because they ask about more than just time spent online—they focus on emotional and social impacts too. It helps you think about whether your habits are healthy or not. I believe different patterns are found across the world because cultures use social media in different ways. In some places, it’s a main source of news and connection, while in others it’s just for entertainment, which can affect how often people rely on it.
