00:00hi friends welcome to a new episode 52.10 million French people use social networks
00:08so 80.5% of the population so today I'm going to ask people if they use
00:17social networks to see a little what it is let's go
00:30Do you use social networks?
00:37Yes, I use social networks. I use Instagram and Facebook too.
00:44And Twitter?
00:46No, not Twitter.
00:48And other networks like Snapchat, Tik Tok for example?
00:51Not Tik Tok, but I've already used Snapchat.
00:54Do you use social networks?
00:56Yes
00:58Which ones in particular?
01:00Instagram especially, then Snapchat and Tik Tok a little bit.
01:05The same, but more Instagram.
01:08Instagram, Twitter, Reddit.
01:14Do you use social networks?
01:16Yes
01:17Which ones in particular?
01:19Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook.
01:22Insta, that's about it.
01:25You don't have a Facebook account?
01:27No
01:28And LinkedIn for example?
01:30No
01:31Twitter?
01:33I retired.
01:35And why did you stop Twitter?
01:38Too much noise, too much negativity.
01:42Do you use social networks?
01:45Not at all.
01:47None?
01:48None. I think I'm going to be excluded from the investigation, right?
01:52Not at all. No, no, it's good to have different answers.
01:55Why don't you use social networks?
01:58Because I don't know how to use them.
02:00That's it, quite simply, I'm part of this generation
02:04and then I don't want too much intrusion in my life and that of others.
02:10That's it.
02:11And so to communicate with your friends, your family, do you use the phone?
02:17No. SMS, WhatsApp, that's it.
02:20But I won't go beyond that.
02:22Neither Facebook, nor that, that's it.
02:24Especially not.
02:25Do you use social networks?
02:27Yes, a little bit, it happens to me, yes.
02:29Yes, of course, of course.
02:31Which ones do you use?
02:32Mainly Instagram.
02:34Then I have a few other social networks, but hey, it's older.
02:39But I focus mainly on Instagram, indeed.
02:42And how long do you spend there every day, you would say, roughly?
02:47It varies.
02:48Let's say that all messages now mainly go through Instagram.
02:52So let's say it's over a day.
02:55So from there to say, it's impossible.
03:00It's impossible to give a schedule.
03:03That's it.
03:04What do you use them for?
03:07To watch artists on Instagram or, yes, photographers, that's it.
03:14And to inform yourself too, or not so much?
03:17On Facebook, yes, but not on Instagram.
03:21And to communicate with your friends?
03:24No, I rather do it by message, by phone.
03:27OK, all right.
03:28And how long do you spend, roughly, in the day on social networks?
03:32Good question.
03:34It depends on the free time I have, but I would say half an hour, an hour a day.
03:39Easily.
03:41French people spend on average almost two hours a day on social networks.
03:45By reducing this time by half, we could learn a foreign language.
03:49For example, with Lingopie, the sponsor of this episode.
03:53It's a streaming platform where you can watch all kinds of videos in French
03:57with interactive subtitles.
04:00That is to say that you can click on unknown words,
04:03see the translation, save them and revise them later in the form of quizzes.
04:08It's both fun and effective.
04:11In addition, if you have a Netflix account,
04:13you can link it to your Lingopie account
04:16and watch your Netflix series with interactive subtitles.
04:20If you feel like it, go through our link lingopie.com.
04:25Try Lingopie for free for seven days,
04:28then get a 55% discount on the annual subscription
04:33and 70% on the lifetime subscription.
04:37And how much time do you spend using them every day?
04:42Not very long, maybe half an hour.
04:45And for what purpose do you use them?
04:48To keep me informed.
04:52To communicate too?
04:54A little bit, but not that much.
04:56Do you communicate via WhatsApp or Messenger?
05:00Yes, more or simply by phone.
05:03Old-fashioned?
05:04That's it.
05:05And what purpose do you use them for?
05:08I get a lot of information on social networks.
05:10For example, with the change of government.
05:12I learned all this thanks to social networks.
05:14And otherwise, yes, to have fun.
05:17That's it, for the news and also for sport.
05:21For sport, in what sense?
05:23In general, to get informed, to follow competitions, etc.
05:27And to communicate with friends too or not so much?
05:31We make groups and give each other information.
05:34But we communicate more by message.
05:36I communicate more by message than by social networks.
05:38For example, my cousin lives in the south.
05:40We write to each other via social networks.
05:41It's more convenient.
05:42For what purpose do you use Instagram and all that?
05:47I do art, so it allows me to promote what I do.
05:51But otherwise, to post photos or stories for my friends.
05:55But nothing more, let's say.
05:57And how much time do you spend using Instagram every day?
06:02A lot, a lot too much.
06:04I don't know, maybe I spend at least 8 hours on it.
06:07Yeah, I spend a lot of time on it.
06:10And in the 8 hours, is it only for work or both?
06:14No, no, I get lost on the Reels.
06:16I press on something and then it can take a long time.
06:19And how much time do you spend there a day, roughly?
06:23According to my phone, 4 hours a day.
06:26It's still not bad, I agree with you.
06:29And are there days when you don't use them at all?
06:32Yes, of course, it's possible.
06:34If I'm working, if I'm busy, if I'm exercising.
06:37It's mostly because of boredom.
06:39It's when you're bored that you use them?
06:42Absolutely.
06:43And on Instagram, what do you do?
06:45What purpose do you use it for?
06:46It's only professional.
06:48I make publications when I have things to tell.
06:51It's strong.
06:52And you don't use it at all in your personal life?
06:54No.
06:56Why not?
06:57Because I don't want to show it.
07:05I don't want to tell anything.
07:07I don't want it to be seen or known.
07:09It's to respect your private life?
07:11Exactly.
07:12And if you had children, or if you have children,
07:15are they on social media?
07:17Yes, they are on social media.
07:19TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram.
07:23Everything that exists, everything imaginable, they are on it.
07:26And how old are they?
07:27My daughter is 13, my son is 17.
07:30And what do you think about them being on social media?
07:33I watch them, that they don't do anything,
07:35that they don't show things they shouldn't show.
07:38They have a way of thinking that is not the right one,
07:40but they don't know.
07:42So I try to pass things on to them,
07:45so that they don't use it for bad ends.
07:50And if you had children, or if you have children,
07:53would you let them use social media?
07:55Only from a certain age, I think.
07:58Not very young.
08:00From what age would you say it's appropriate?
08:03Around 12-13 years old.
08:05Yes.
08:06Not before.
08:08And in your entourage, are there a lot of people on social media?
08:11It depends, it's very varied.
08:13I have some friends who are a lot on it,
08:16and others who are limited.
08:21And in your entourage, are there people who use social media?
08:24Of course, all my children.
08:26And especially my grandchildren,
08:28because my children are almost the same age.
08:31But my friends my age are not at all.
08:37And so, whether your children are on social media,
08:39or your grandchildren,
08:41do you have an opinion on that?
08:44My grandchildren are almost 30 years old.
08:48Yes, I like to see your astonishment.
08:52It would bother me if they were much younger.
08:55Because it can lead to everything we know,
08:58especially for very young people,
09:01adolescents, pre-adolescents.
09:03That can be worrying,
09:05for parents to be vigilant.
09:13Thank you very much, friends, for watching this episode.
