Social Media Issue

With the prevalence of social media and digital forums, comments, photos, posts, and content shared by individuals can often be viewed by strangers as well as acquaintances. The content an individual shares online – both their personal content as well as any negative, mean, or hurtful content – creates a kind of permanent public record of their views, activities, and behaviour. This public record can be thought of as an online reputation, which may be accessible to schools, employers, colleges, clubs, and others who may be researching an individual now or in the future. Cyberbullying can harm the online reputations of everyone involved – not just the person being bullied, but those doing the bullying or participating in it. This is the clips of video called "Am I Wrong?". This short video is about bullying through social media as known as cyberbullying. With this video, we hope that we can tell many people how harm cyberbullying is and tell people to stop the acti...

1. The Future is digital Public opinion is unanimous: our future is digital. The world and our lives will be dominated by digital software, digital gadgets, digital media, digital economy and digital algorithms. And, of course, digital social networks.

Children and young people with mental health problems will be routinely asked about their use of social media under new guidance being issued to NHS psychiatrists. Under-18s seeking help with conditions such as anxiety, depression and eating disorders will be questioned to see whether using Facebook, Instagram or other platforms is causing or exacerbating their illness. As a result, when they first meet young people, psychiatrists will ask if accessing such sites is affecting their sleep, performance at school, mood or eating habits. They will try, for example, to establish whether troubled young people have spent time on sites that promote self-harm or encourage anorexia. Parents will also be asked what devices are in their homes, which ones their child uses and how often, and whether their offspring look at screens during meals or while adults are doing chores. The guidance has been issued by the Royal College of Psychiatrists at a time of growing concern tha...

Is social media addictive? The issue is complex, and probably generational. It’s obvious that what social media does to us, especially those of us who are heavy users, is not natural, or normal. It’s not normal to submit opinions for approval every day to an online crowd, nor is it normal to consume the opinions of strangers in bulk. It’s not normal to live under the surveillance of software companies, which tailor their advertising with such eerie precision that it seems impossible that they are not listening in on our conversations. It’s definitely not normal to wake in the night to use social media, or to spend roughly 24 hours a week on it, returning again and again even though it can make us feel depressed and alone. None of these behaviours were normal a few decades ago, nor are they especially useful to us today, but they’re practised by billions of people across the world. On Monday a report was published by an all-party parliamentary group (APPG), proposing t...

When it comes to social media and education, some parents and teachers view these platforms as distractions that negatively influence students. But in today’s increasingly digital world, social media plays a meaningful role in higher education every day. When used the right way, social media can enhance a student’s learning journey, also making it much easier for pupils and educators to connect. Research has shown how beneficial social media can be in terms of learning. Through these various platforms, teachers can connect with students and incorporate social media into their lessons, making them more interesting, relatable and engaging. Social sites are a great tool when it comes to interacting with students since it’s something they are so familiar with, using these sites frequently throughout daily life. So what are the most effective ways teachers can use social media in their lecture halls and classrooms? David Altounian, marketing professor in Digital Media M...

Vatican City, Apr 5, 2019 / 09:40 am (CNA).- Discussing current digital trends, from “influencers” to cyborgs to “zapping,” Pope Francis’ recent apostolic letter to young people contains both buzzwords and moral advice for Millenial and iGen digital natives. “The life that Jesus gives us is a love story, a life history that wants to blend with ours and sink roots in the soil of our own lives. That life is not a salvation up ‘in the cloud’ and waiting to be downloaded, a new ‘app’ to be discovered, or a technique of mental self-improvement,” Pope Francis wrote in his apostolic exhortation Christus Vivit (Christ is Alive) published April 2. The 50-page letter, addressed to “all Christian young people,” seeks to address the “highly digitalized culture” that young adults are immersed in today. This digital environment has “a profound impact on ideas of time and space, on our self-understanding, our understanding of others and the world, and our ability to communic...

The best metaphor for Facebook is the monster created by Dr Frankenstein. Mary Shelley’s story shows how, as Fiona Sampson put it in a recent Guardian article, “aspiration and progress are indistinguishable from hubris — until something goes wrong, when suddenly we see all too clearly what was reasonable endeavour and what overreaching”. There are clear echoes of this in the evolution of Facebook. “It’s a story”, writes Siva Vaidhyanathan in this excellent critique, “of the hubris of good intentions, a missionary spirit and an ideology that sees computer code as the universal solvent for all human problems. And it’s an indictment of how social media has fostered the deterioration of democratic and intellectual culture around the world.” Facebook was founded by an undergraduate with good intentions but little understanding of human nature. He thought that by creating a machine for “connecting” people he might do some good for the world while also making him...

“Ai is likely to be either the best or worst thing to happen to humanity.”  ~Stephen Hawking You’re already a Cyborg. You just don’t know it yet.  That’s right. Sounds crazy right?  Maybe it does.  But you are.  That phone you carry is an extension of your brain. I was watching Elon Musk on Joe Rogan recently and he spoke about this specific topic.  In today’s climate we use our phone (and to a lesser degree computer) for everything. We call an Uber, we get an answer to a question via Google, we store photos, we store music, we communicate with friends, we have apps tracking our health & fitness, among many other uses too numerous to mention. So the amount of Artificial Intelligence is growing. And the frightening or jaw-dropping thing about it is we seem quietly unaware how dependent we now are on it. Yes, there’s the day to day jokes about spending too much time on phones and how we all need to get outside more, however recently it feels...
