The survey asked questions about how the girls used social media and what parts of social media they thought were problematic. After looking at the results of this survey, we came to an understanding that many of the girls had gone through bad experiences online, whether they had been bullied, bullied another person or seen something that made them uncomfortable. All girls but one thought they were many factors of excessive use of screens and social media that are dangerous to both mental and physical health, sleep patterns and social lives of phone addicts. We can see that the major opinion found in these results was similar to our opinion and the facts that have proven these opinions true. Seeing this has shown us that our audience will hopefully be willing to try our app, as they have been able to recognise the problems with excessive use of social media, therefore we can help them improve on what they know needs to change. 

Some areas of the data we examined yesterday revealed concerning factors, including the fact that several girls said that they had 1000+ followers but knew none of them. The same people said they had bullied others online before, and stated that there were no problems associated with social media. In fact, majority of the girls had experienced or been involved in cyberbullying, which is concerning as these girls may have not yet learnt about how to deal with situations like these online, and may not have known to tell an adult about what was happening. To look further into this, I would like to perhaps take another survey to see how many girls have been bullied in person, to find a comparison between the two and to show just how dangerous and damaging social media can be to a person's mental health. The fact that so many girls also have 100+ followers on social media 

Apps and social media platforms have created spaces that can both be beneficial socially and also potentially dangerous. These platforms do have report and block features, but often children may not know to use these or sometimes they just may not work. Addressing the problem we have are several apps, including mindfulness apps and an app called 'Forest'. Forest is an app that is used for screen time management. If you want to focus, you 'plant a tree'. While you work, your tree grows, but if you go onto a website that is on your 'blacklist' - a list of websites that you can modify - your tree dies. Over time Forest tracks your progress and shows you the difference in your focus. We think that this is a really great app addressing the same problem as us, and we will take much inspiration from this. 

 The problem we are addressing is 'how might we' is 'how might we improve the amount of time spent on screens and the addiction to phones for young adults and teenagers in order to improve health and obesity rates, performance at school and get better sleep patterns and stop procrastination.' ]]> 2017-08-15 01:57:53 UTC https://padlet.com/thomassca/9alqkzxo6h4q/wish/181015233 Scarlet- Discovery and Interpretation thomassca https://padlet.com/thomassca/9alqkzxo6h4q/wish/181015275 1. The survey statistical analysis from the year 6 and 7 Lauriston Girls we used yesterday will help us understand our target audience better. It will help us understand this age group more because it gives us a better understanding of how much time young teenagers spend on social media. It helps us understand what apps they use, and what they use social media for. This survey helped us understand how people in the years of 6 and 7 have experienced online bullying and not all of them know how to handle it. A lot of the students who were surveyed thought that screens were both mentally and physically dangerous, and affected your sleep patterns and social life. This survey also tells us that quite a few of the students do not know all the people who they follow. These statistics help us understand some of the social media users from our audience do not know how to handle a problem that they encounter online, these survey answers will help us design our app in a way that will help people focus more on homework, get better sleep patterns and many more.
2. Some of the problems from this survey show that many of the year 6 and 7 girls do not know all of the people they follow. This is not very good as someone could pretend to be someone who they are not and people could try contacting the person because they think they know the person. Another serious problem is that quite a few of the girls have experienced or been involved in online bulling. The bad thing about this is that they may not know how to handle the situation and they could be too scared to tell an adult what is going on and they might get them self into more trouble if they are not sure what to do. This survey also shows that a lot of the year 6s and 7s do not know all of the follows who they follow. They are a few students who do know all of the follows who they follow which is a good outcome. Many students have also lied about their ages to get social media. A few students think there is no problem for the internet for people their age. I believe this is a problem because young people do not know how to handle problems they may encounter and they might get themselves or others into huge trouble. This is also a problem because people might stalk and bully them or even share photos other people wouldn't want other people to see.
3. Some of the products that currently exist that address this problem are instagram, snapchat, facebook, wechat, tumblr and many other forms of social media. These products do have report and block but sometimes these settings will not help. On these products people can stalk, bully and harass you.
4.  The problem we are going to address is 'how might we' is 'how might we improve the amount of time spent on screens and the addiction to phones for young adults and teenagers in order to improve health and obesity rates, performance at school and get better sleep patterns and stop procrastination.'

We began the project yesterday by analysing some data from the year 6's and 7's. We learnt how to read an create a wide variety of graphs such as pie and bar graphs. By analysing the data we can come to conclusions based on the averages of their answers. This means that we can better understand their point of view. Some answers have given me a much better understanding of screen-time patterns of their age group and their prior experiences on social media. Apps such as forest aid in decreases multitasking and help concentration by aiding good behaviour. Our group aims to create an app that is based on time management, suitable for our audience of 6s and 7s, helping them to control their addictions and educating them on the dangers of social media.
