So I've got an incurable itch (as well as some budget money) to produce a short film about social media and the way it re-patterns our brains in respect to social engagement. Basically, I want to hold up a mirror with a spray-painted thesis: Social Media Actually Makes Us Lonely While Promising To Make Us Connected.
I'm not necessarily talking about the ToO (although that could be interesting), especially since Internet forums like this are either obsolete or exclusively niche-specific, but rather the promise of general social connection through the Big Three: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. For fun, I want to throw in some Snapchat and Tinder to explore how young people are socially "connecting" in tandem with the onslaught of hormones.
Anyways, to the point: How do a lot of you young people (and not-so young people) use your social media accounts? Do you have facebook on your phone? Do you Snapchat your friends? Do your parents enforce limitations, and have those limitations lessened or increased in any way over the last few years?
What's the most personally felt, heart-wrenching emotional event that you've ever experienced on the Internet?
Social Media and its influence on our LIVES!!

Does watching youtube count if I don't ever login?
This is a good idea, Jelly. I hope you can make it happen in a very powerful way.
..in order of what I use the most:
YouTube
Facebook
Instagram
Pinterest
I have Twitter, but rarely go on it. I really only use it to follow people. I also only use Facebook to stay updated on people, I rarely post anything myself. And Instagram and Pinterest I use because I run a fan page. I also like Instagram better than Facebook. =p I HATE FACEBOOK.

What more people use FB than youtube? What is wrong with you peoples?
In the "peoples" defense...Most of the users on here are older *hides*
But on another note: Why is tinder apart of the poll I wouldn't exactly consider it social media, but then again I'm not on it so how would I know...

Tinder's craaaaazy popular among teens. Definitely counts as social media. Wasn't sure if anyone on here actually used it, though... I know it's sure not an app I would have ever been allowed to use when I was a teen.

Mmm. YouTube and Pinterest. I use Pinterest for craft or science ideas to do with my students. I have both on my phone. I forget Pinterest is there most of the time.
