Infographics on the effects of digital media on their lives.
I have chosen Ledger of Harms as my source for my infographics because it is a reliable and authoritative source of information about the use of devices. The Ledger of Harms is a database that contains the harms that people suffer when they use digital media. Ledger of Harms is a joint project between the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. The online database helps people understand the effects of digital media in their lives. The data provides information about how digital media affects our brains, attention spans, sleep patterns, and relationships with others.

The Ledger of Harms database has more than 200 harms, with an average of five new ones being added every month.
Social Media = Misinformation.

The Next Generation (Ledger of Harms) addresses the impact of social media with children. I also see the same happening in my rural community. At the farmers market the conversations are often connected with Instagram, Tik Tok, and Facebook.
So why are we on social media?
