Is Social Media Affecting our Mental Health?
Social media has been in our lives for a long time now. Most of us are familiar with it, but is social media having a positive effect on our lives or is it becoming a negative?
I interviewed Ross Albury, a senior advisor within Navigo's open mind services, Luke Roberts, a full time software developer who has left social media and Aleksander Batista, a graphic design student with a love for social media to find out more about the impacts on social media.
Who do you side with on this topic? Do you believe social media is the problem, or you believe it's our online personalities that create a hostile environment?
