About this Event
Bridging Blocks | The Power of Social Media

In the United States, there are over 310 million social media users. That's 91% of the country’s estimated total population of 343 million. Globally, 6 billion are social media users, which is just under 70% of the world’s 8.3 billion people, data from the 2025 Statista Research Department shows.

How is social media helping or hurting society? What influence does it have on U.S. and world populations? As an older adult, do you feel more connected or disconnected from the world with the rise of technology?
Join WHYY News Community & Engagement team for Bridging Blocks, a civic dialogue series in partnership with The Free Library of Philadelphia.
