15. ORANGE | Preliminary Research
Degradation of Genuine Personal Relationship
Problem of decreasing genuine human relationships: The reason that there cannot be genuine
relationships on SNS is mainly because individuals wish to disclose only the good and acceptable
parts of themselves that they feel comfortable to show on SNS. However, it becomes a problem of
privacy if we were to encourage people to disclose some true aspects of them that they do not
wish to show. This leaves us to a dilemma regarding the inevitable trade-off between genuine
relations and privacy.

combined SNS was that it could save time, but nevertheless
they also thought it unnecessary when SNS is separated

8. Some interesting suggestions for new SNS were:
division of categories, personalisation through big data,
and security of anonymity and identity.

JOYCE KU | CDM 13
8:30 She woke up and checked email to see if there are any replies from her friends.
And then turned on the song list on youtube.
Q. Why do you use youtube?
“ I use youtube because I don’t download things.
The benefit of using it is that it has a lot of selections.
I also subscribe some of people’s channel
and check out what they have been uploaded.
But the bad part is advertisements
I have to see through before the clip starts.”

After she came back from her class, she checked her Facebook
if there is any new notification.
She found out one of her friends sent messages and replied back.
Q. Why do you use Facebook to chat with friends?
“ I prefer using Facebook when I send messages that is casual.
I use text messages if I have to contact someone right away,
but through Facebook, I just have casual talks with my friends.
Also I’m a bit anti-sociable person, who don’t enjoy replaying back to people.
Since Facebook has function to show whether messages are seen or unseen
by receiver, I use that function whenever I don’t want to reply back to people.”
56. ORANGE | Observation
JOYCE KU | CDM 13
11:50 After she checked her Facebook, she opened youtube
to see videos related to make-up. She watched 5-6 videos.
Q. Is there any reason why you prefer youtube to other SNS?
“Youtube has lots of useful contents which I can learn from it.
However, when I do Facebook, I feel like I’m wasting my time.
Contents in Facebook is more like something funny or contents for killing time.
Also the information layout is not consistent. Every information is spread out
so I have to scroll down and go through bunch of unnecessary information.
What I think might be helpful is categorisation.
For instance, each separate page for news article or status update.
Also there should be certain pages where I can only see updates of people
who I follow. To be honest, I’m not interested in all the people in my friend’s list. ”

She tried to upload photos with her friends, which she took yesterday
at a friend’s birthday party. When writing down text for posting, she found
she wanted to use certain font that fits with her emotion and style.
But she wasn’t able to pick the font she want.
Q. For the future SNS, what improvements do you think are necessary?
“More creative tools should be made. For example, I think
the layout should be more customised. When uploading, it will be
much more helpful if there are more options for fonts, colours and emoticons.
Also being able to write on the photos and putting stickers would be interesting.”
58. ORANGE | Observation

21:00
She always writes diary on her blog before she goes to bed.
The blog is not linked to any of her SNS, so it allows her to write down
her personal story such as emotions and inspiring, good writing/photos.
Q. For the future SNS, what improvements do you think are necessary?
“I use blog as my own creative diary. I want to use it as private,
not open to people I know, because I want to have space that is just for me.
I think writing things on Facebook decreases the value of the contents,
since it is related to getting ‘likes’ or recognition from people.
I don’t want to be stressed out by checking how many likes I get.
I’m writing or uploading photos just for me. Also most of the times,
people judge others by looking at what others have posted on Facebook.
Therefore, I feel it is too revealing to show everything about me through SNS.”
59. ORANGE | Observation
CONCLUSION
1. She likes Youtube for its streaming service
and the various contents it offers.
2. She uses Facebook message for casual talks. And she likes
the function which indicates if others have read the message.
She suggested that Facebook adopt more options
to enhance the information she can put on the postings.
Also, she thinks the information on Facebook
could be better organised and presented.
60. ORANGE | Observation
3. She likes blogs to write personal thoughts since
SNS is more like “presenting yourself to others.”
CONCLUSION CONCLUSION:
