Society needs to realize what
they put online remains on the worldwide web forever
Image via jdurham
They also don’t realize that
technology enables you to hide
your true identity
Image via xenia(morguefile)
The fine line between online and offline identity is
blurred -allowing us to be whoever we want to be
Image via mrhayata
44% of teenagers admitted to lying
about their age to gain access to a
web site
Image via LeonardJohnMatthewsSource: Coming of Age in Digital Age

a breeding ground

Will we ever know who is really behind
the screen?
Image via .Andi.
Technology also tends to
pull away from the
importance of a face to
face conversationImage via misko13
We are so dependant on our devices that we have
forgotten how to have a real conversation
Image via SusanNYC
“Someday, someday, I’d like to learn
how to have a conversation.” -16 year old boy
This loss of skill hinders our ability to
truly connect with one another
Image via
orangesandlemonsSource: Sherry Turkle , The Flight of Conversation

for conversation
Image via craigallyn
So how can we prevent these
dangers from happening to us?
Image via tricky
Image via huskyte77

when using technology
Next time: think twice about
posting that picture
and
choose to talk face to face
rather than sending a text

Editor's Notes

  1. IS JUST one of these dangers
  2. harsh reality and that the students of this world need to be extremely cautious. Once something goes on Facebook (or the web), it doesn't come down again. Ever. Just because you cannot directly access it through your Facebook interface doesn't mean that the content isn't lurking around the corner for your next employer to stumble upon, and not give you that dream job as a result of the drunken photos you uploaded.Source: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/igeneration/facebook-does-not-erase-user-deleted-content/4808
  3. Nothings worst than what you don’t know then what you cant see. Technology creates a shield, a mask to hid behind What society doesnt realize is what they put out will always linger in the world of the web foreverThis makes privacy virtually impossible and gives them difficulty to be in control Source: http://www.decipherforensics.com/publications
  4. http://esciencenews.com/articles/2013/01/20/from.bullying.relationships.mapping.our.online.communicationsWe can be anybody who we want to be and no one would know -- you don’t always know who you’re talking toDO YOU know who you’re really talking to?-we create our own identity and this blured the fine line between the online and offiline identity -creating images of ourselves offiline-says Graham of the University of Texas, Austin, co-author of the studies with Sam Gosling. "Whether we're creating a screen name or avatar for ourselves, or broadcasting that the bar or coffee shop down the street is one of our frequent hangouts, we are inevitably telling those around us something about who we are as individuals."-this leads to many problems especailly our youth –making it easy for cyberbullying to happen -Some statistics indicate that as many as 160,000 students a year skip school just to avoid being harassed, and texting and social media are making it easier than ever to harass classmates. Victimization from schoolmates has been correlated with everything from depression and anxiety to thoughts of suicide and struggles with academics.Will we ever know who we are REALLY talking to?
  5. Will we ever know who is really behind the screen?Stranger danger
  6. This makes its also a breeding ground for online predatorsMask Hekumorguefile
  7. http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/may/predators_051711
  8. Technology allows us to masked ourselves (our true identity)Therefore.. This mask
  9. RertractHow can we learn to connect if we are
  10. We are so dependant on our devices that we have forgotten how to even have a conversation anymoreFace to face conversation allows for us to connect and learn
  11. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/22/opinion/sunday/the-flight-from-conversation.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
  12. This hinders our ability to connect with one another , to uWe are tempted to think that our little “sips” of online connection add up to a big gulp of real conversation. But they don’t. E-mail, Twitter, Facebook, all of these have their places — in politics, commerce, romance and friendship. But no matter how valuable, they do not substitute for conversation. nderstand and to truly know someonoetechnologies that provide the illusion of companionship How can we prevent these dangers from happening to us?Next time, forget the fancy iphone
