Generation Z

I've been doing a lot of research on social media addiction, and the results did not surprise me. As we had thought, Generation Z is the generation with the most social media usage.
The first generation to grow up with the constant usage of social media. 
"Generation Z spends an average of 3 hours 38 minutes online on smartphones, almost 50 minutes longer than the average Intern user." It is a generation that has grown up with technology constantly around them. Furthermore, I found this in an article that I found to be very interesting...
"Research has shown that there is an undeniable link between social media use, negative mental health, and low self-esteem. While social media platforms have their benefits, using them too frequently can make people feel increasingly unhappy and isolated."

So because we know that there are extremely negative correlations between social media addiction and depression, we can talk about this in our documentary. We can sort of introduce it as it is, and explain the negative factors that come with it. 

Furthermore, I found the websites most commonly used by this generation...



  1. Youtube
  2. Gmail
  3. Snapchat
  4. Instagram 
  5. Facebook

This is helpful information that we can discuss in our documentary, explaining the gravity of the issue.
