Over the past year, especially during the Coronavirus pandemic, older generations have been downloading and posting TikTok's as well. With the ability to share TikTok videos over text, email, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat this helped the spread of new TikTok users. Facebook's user demographics are mostly older generations which have helped traffic older users to download TikTok. Just like any other social media site, there are negatives and positives that come along with the app. People have categorized this app as being dangerous in the sense that users are inclined to sit on the app and scroll through videos for hours on end. It has also been told that the time duration of the videos has been decreasing the attention span in teens and young adults making it hard to focus in school and retaining extensive information. Although this puts a negative effect on society, a lot of people have reason to believe that the outcome of the app and its growing population of users, has helped save lives and make a difference around the world. Individuals with mental illnesses, disabilities, financial struggles, etc; are able to share their stories to promote education and awareness on these topics. This app has also opened a door for creativity and for users to express themselves the way they please.
