Annotation:
I think this article would be good for my research because it looks at the correlation between daily technology use and how it can impact mental health symptoms in high-risk individuals in adolescence. I think that this would be beneficial because adolescence is an important time in personal development and this group is one of the age ranges that is most drawn to constant technology use. This constant technology use, as well as the potential negative impacts that it could have on the individuals, could develop long term mental health problems that aren’t anticipated or recognized until it is too late. Looking at how it can impact younger individuals can help my research move into older age groups and seeing if there is a distinct difference in the impact between younger and older users of technology and social media.
