About the Author

Hello, my name is Milo Rasmussen, a Mechanical Engineering student at UCF. I would like to thank Jacob Foster and Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society on campus for allowing me to volunteer with them on my community service opportunities.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

In an ever evolving era of technology, the invention of social media has seen a profound impact on individual lives as it has become increasingly accessible to larger swaths of people. Platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and Twitter (X) have enabled a sense of global connection, connecting people from all around the world. With this relatively recent invention that influences the daily lives of many people, one such population that we will delve a little more into is the consequences and affects that using social media has on the mental health/ wellbeing of people. This poster aims to understand and inform us on the positives and negatives of using social media. Research is still ongoing in this field and is only relatively new so new methods and analyses of social media are being implemented to provide more accurate results for future research to build upon.
