👨👩👧👦 How social media usage changes across generations
The most striking trend is that while older age groups see it as a place to check in with friends, it’s more of a content hub for younger generations. Beyond connecting with friends, for younger users, there are other connections at play: between the user and content creators, work contacts, and brands.

🏥 How heavy use of social media is linked to mental illness
May 20th marked the end of “#MentalHealth awareness week”, a campaign run by the Mental Health Foundation, a British charity. Roughly a quarter of British adults have been diagnosed at some point with a psychiatric disorder, costing the economy an estimated 4.5% of GDP per year. Such illnesses have many causes, but a growing body of research demonstrates that in young people they are linked with heavy consumption of #SocialMedia. A survey by the Royal Society for Public #Health found that Britons aged 14-24 believe #Facebook, #Instagram, #Snapchat and #Twitter have detrimental effects on their wellbeing. They said that these social networks gave them scope for self-expression and community-building, but exacerbated anxiety and #depression.
