Week 10: Blog Before Presentation

Welcome to my tenth blog post! As upsetting as some of the results of my survey have proven to be, it has been an absolute pleasure working on this project these past months and sharing all I have been doing and learning with you all. I spent most of this week finalizing my presentation and final deliverable, but I wanted to share something interesting I found as I finished analyzing my survey. As I will mention in my presentation, many respondents were actually not Gen Z, but I used their responses as a point of comparison. I assumed older generations would not be as impacted by confirmation bias on social media, this is why my original research question compared Gen Z and Gen X. After looking at these individual responses from older respondents, I found that they were spending almost the same amount of time online as Gen Z respondents. Even my mom, who only used facebook to check on politics up until 2018, now finds herself doom scrolling instagram after dinner. I cannot wait to share my work with you all on the 14th, thank you for following my progress, it’s been a blast!
