00:00Social media has become a big part of our daily lives, from checking and sharing updates, posting photos, being a source of entertainment, to spreading information and news.

00:16But do you know how we were really affected by it?

00:21Let's talk about how social media influences our mental health, lifestyle, and everyday life.

00:29Let's also find out how we can balance our consumption of social media, from controlling the time we spend online, to choosing the information we share and consume.

00:44Here on MIL 101!

00:51Before we continue our conversation, let's talk about how much time you spend on social media everyday.

01:00Because sometimes, you'll go out and stroll.

01:07Let's start with Audrey.

01:09How do you choose the content you watch?

01:15Actually, I just scroll mindlessly.

01:19And there's an algorithm in the feed.

01:21So, whatever I'm interested in, that's what comes out.

01:24There's makeup, fashion.

01:27For us, in the news, we need to update ourselves.

01:35You'll search on the search bar.

01:38Let's go back to my question.

01:41How much time do you spend on using social media everyday?

01:46In a day, of course, you use Facebook, Instagram, other social media platforms.

01:53Let's combine those.

01:55How much time do you spend on using social media?

01:58Actually, I don't monitor it anymore.

02:00Every time I'm free, I don't do anything.

02:02I'm on my phone.

02:04But you have an app, right?

02:06You can monitor how long you've been on the app.

02:10But I roughly estimate that it's around 6 hours.

02:15The average time is 6 hours.

02:17What's the average time for Filipinos?

02:19We're the same.

02:206 to 8.

02:22The other one is 26 hours.

02:26But there's an exaggeration.

02:27In 2020, it reached 9 hours and 45 minutes.

02:32In 2021, it reached 10 hours and some minutes.

02:37That's just the average.

02:41Some people use it for more than 15 hours.

02:44Some people use it for 4 hours.

02:46Another question is,

02:48what do you do to maintain the privacy and security of your personal information on social media?

02:57It's like we're in a recitation.

03:00Like a recitation.

03:04We can't hear you, Profi.

03:06You're too far away.

03:07Before, my Facebook account was locked.

03:13Lock your profile.

03:14I can see it on Facebook.

03:16Until now.

03:18I'm not aware of it.

03:20So now, I made it public.

03:22Yes, I made it public.

03:24As a journalist, we need to share information and news.

03:29This is my profit.

03:31I don't put my emotions on my social media account.

03:38Why do you hide all your social media information?

03:42This is what we do.

03:44This is my profit.

03:46It's like a photo album.

03:48It's like a collection of pictures and memories.

03:52Well, anyway.

03:53Those are good answers.

03:55This is what we're going to talk about today.

03:58We're going to deepen our knowledge about what we call social media consumption.

04:04How we use online platforms and their effects on our lives.

04:08We want to know, what is social media consumption?

04:12This is how we use social media platforms to check updates,

04:17post content, and of course, connect with others.

04:22The way we use these platforms has a big effect on our daily lives.

04:29What are the effects of excessive use of social media or the consumption of contents online?

04:39First, addiction.

04:41Social media applications are designed to be interactive and engaging.

04:47That's why we easily get addicted.

04:50Excessive use of social media can reduce productivity and save time for more important things.

04:59Second, exposure to unnecessary information.

05:03We are often flooded with information online.

05:07That's why it's hard to know what is true and what is false.

05:12It can be misinformation or disinformation.

05:15It can cause confusion.

05:18And of course, we can be consumed by false information.

05:23Third, it can cause privacy issues.

05:27Social media platforms collect a lot of personal information.

05:32It can affect our privacy.

05:35That's why we need to be careful in giving personal details and check the privacy settings of your account.

05:43The question is, how can this affect us psychologically?

05:50First, we need to have a comparison with others.

05:53We often compare ourselves to other people's idealized or romanticized lives through social media.

06:02We often have low self-esteem and lack of feelings.

06:07In short, we are pressured.

06:09We can't appreciate time.

06:12We don't know when we will have our growth as a person.

06:17Second, we need to be influenced in our behavior.

06:20Social media can influence our behavior and decision-making through trends, consuming habits, and even political opinions.

06:31We are often affected by trending ideas and products that we see online.

06:37What can we do to balance our consumption and use social media properly?

06:45First, limit the time we use social media.

06:49As we mentioned earlier, the average viewing time of Filipinos is 9 hours and 45 minutes a day in 2020.

06:59How much more now?

07:00Let's be more determined in using social media.

07:02Spend time on social media and follow it.

07:06Use what we call time management tools so that you don't spend too much time googling online.

07:12Next, we need to examine the information.

07:15Before we believe what we read or what we see, make sure to examine the content of the information.

07:24Don't just accept and believe everything we read online.

07:30Third, we need to protect our privacy.

07:35Check the privacy settings of your social media accounts and avoid sharing personal information.

07:41This is an easy solution.

07:43Focus on real-life interactions.

07:46Spend time for real-life connections and interactions with people around you.

07:51Avoid being too involved in other people's lives.

07:55Be critical of this influence and our own opinion or decision.

08:01Let's not let trending topics or viral content dictate our opinions or decisions.

08:09Balancing social media consumption is important for effective management of our time.

08:16Take care of our security and get the right information.

08:21Remember to always be careful and responsible in every use of online platforms.

08:28That's what we talked about social media consumption here at MIL101.
