After asking my research questions to three individuals, I realized all three people agreed on the questions except for one. I first asked three people if they witnessed bullying on social media. Person 1 & 2 both said no, but person 3 said yes. Person three says she witnesses a lot of cyberbullying on twitter. She explained if people don’t agree with a tweet, it often leads to a long thread of hurtful words and arguments. I then asked, “Do you think social media is to blame for cyber bullying? If not, who do you believe is to blame?” Every person said no. They all agreed that social media is not to blame because social media does not cyber bully, people do. Lastly, I asked, “Do you like the updates on iphones/tablets/social media?’ Person 1, 2, and 3 all said no. They agreed that right when they get used to an update, it updates again and it is infuriating.
