This document discusses how Facebook may be negatively impacting interpersonal communication skills. It provides statistics showing the massive growth of Facebook usage globally and in the US. Experts and studies quoted suggest that while social media allows for more connections, in-person interactions are decreasing as people prefer communicating online over face-to-face. Over-reliance on Facebook may be reducing empathy and making people less socially engaged in the real world. The document examines how Facebook posting behaviors are often just seeking attention rather than meaningful support.
1. The document discusses the negative impact of Facebook usage on student learning activities. Excessive time spent on Facebook leads to decreased concentration, reduced study time of 1-15 hours per week, and lower academic performance.
2. Research found that active Facebook users had lower grades than passive users. Many students openly used Facebook during class hours, distracting them from lessons.
3. The document provides suggestions to mitigate Facebook's negative effects, such as educating students on appropriate and beneficial usage, setting limits on technology during classes, and encouraging wiser use of social media.
In this thesis I address the fundamental elements of Facebook’s makeup that affect resulting social behaviors from participation with the site. In my exploration I first define the relationship between communication and social realities. It is through this relationship we begin to understand Facebook’s significance in our culture. I then consider the forms of communication media by which Facebook exists and their qualities. After briefly describing the inclination of news media interactions to embody entertainment, I argue for Facebook’s presence as a news media platform. Once establishing this I discuss inconsistencies in the site’s social qualification and legitimacy due to the localization of users’ participation within the realm of a vast network of the possibly accessible information. Facebook space is qualified; that is, it has degrees of value that differ among users. These inconsistencies are the cause of new yet subtle movements within socially acceptable behaviors. It is the trust and reliance of other users to give and gain information, inter-user dependency, which realizes and perpetuates these movements.
This document summarizes research on attitudes towards Facebook use among adults over 35. It finds that while older adults see benefits to staying connected via Facebook, they use it less frequently than younger groups and have some concerns about privacy and effects on social interaction. The researcher conducted surveys and interviews that found older adults are generally satisfied with Facebook for communication but view it more passively. They recognize negatives like oversharing and impacts on youth but feel Facebook allows easy connection to others. More research is still needed on older adults' social media use and attitudes.
Photojournalists need to be making full use of social media, everything from Twitter to SmugMug not only to get their images out there but to make money.
This document discusses social media and photography. It begins by introducing the author, Bradley Wilson, and providing context that it was presented at a press conference in April 2014. It then provides brief 1-2 sentence descriptions of various social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Pinterest, SmugMug, Soundslides, Vimeo, and YouTube. The descriptions highlight key features and purposes of each platform for sharing photos and videos online.

Jiayi Chen's Flipbook - Social Networking Services: Impacts on TeensJiayi (Mindy) Chen
Social networking services have significant impacts on teens. 73% of online teens use social networking sites, which provides opportunities for learning, social interaction, and entertainment. However, overuse of social media can also negatively impact teens' friendships, family relationships, privacy, and identity development. While social media allows teens to connect with others and access information, it also brings risks like online bullying and distraction from real-world relationships. Parents play an important role as digital mentors to help teens navigate social media safely and benefit from its opportunities.
1) Facebook has over 500 million active users, around 85% of whom are college students. However, excessive Facebook use has been linked to lower GPAs and less time spent studying among students.
2) Studies show that Facebook users typically have lower GPAs ranging from 3.0-3.5 compared to 3.5-4.0 for non-users, and Facebook users spend 1-5 hours studying per week while non-users spend 11-15 hours.
3) Facebook serves as a distraction and procrastination tool, taking time away from studying and resulting in poorer quality assignments with more errors due to blurred lines between formal and informal writing. Excessive use has also been linked to physical and

However, it also notes that social media can have negative effects if not used responsibly and cautiously. The conclusion emphasizes that there are both benefits and drawbacks to social media use.
This document provides an introduction, objectives, and methodology for a study on the effects of social media addiction. The study surveyed 60-65 computer science students at Amity University about their social media usage habits. Key findings included:
- Most students spent 2-6 hours per day on social media.
- The majority used social media for entertainment and chatting rather than academic purposes.
- Nearly 80% felt social media negatively impacted their academic performance.
- Over 30% saw sometimes negative impacts on family relationships from social media use.

I frequently overhear people I do not know in restaurants and other public settings talking about how they are using Facebook to reconnect with friends and family. Some of the items of discussion I would overhear were very alarming to me. Suspecting I would find the manner in which my friends and family members (e.g., my mother, siblings, nieces and nephews) use Facebook equally alarming, I decided to engage in some research to determine whether there would be enough substance to my observations to warrant the preparation of these materials. In no time I gathered enough substance to my observations to warrant the preparation of these materials.
I have prepared the attached materials to expand my capacity; my hope is those of you I know personally and with whom I have shared these materials will share these materials with your friends and family members. As you will see in these materials, what should be of paramount concern is how you are currently using Facebook. While the security of your Facebook profile is important, you need to be aware if you are using Facebook in such a way where the contents of your profile could inflict harm upon you, your friends and/or your family members.
Impact of Facebook as a Social Networking Site (SNS) On Youth Generations: A ...inventionjournals
This document summarizes a research paper on the impact of Facebook as a social networking site on youth generations in Kolkata, India. It finds that Facebook has become very popular among youth in Kolkata and is integrated into their daily lives. However, it can have both positive and negative impacts.

Key points include that teens are leading users of new technologies and 96% have joined social networks. However, access to high-speed internet and technologies varies along socioeconomic lines. While social networking helps teens feel connected, it can also negatively impact girls' emotional safety and reputations. The document questions how social media should be used appropriately with teens and provides references for developing social media policies.

¿Qué hacen los adolescentes en Redes Sociales?ADCENTRAL
Teens are increasingly sharing personal information on social media compared to past years. While most teen Facebook users keep their profiles private, sharing is typically done with large friend networks. However, Twitter users tend to have public accounts. Teens employ various techniques beyond privacy settings to manage their reputation and networks online, though most teens express little concern about third parties accessing their data. Focus group discussions indicate teens' enthusiasm for Facebook is waning due to adult presence, drama, and reputation management pressures, but they continue using it due to social importance.
This document discusses social media addiction. It begins by introducing the topic and defining internet and social media addiction. It then reviews literature on how parenting styles can influence social media addiction in adolescents. Stricter parenting that limits screen time is linked to lower risk of addiction. The document also discusses how habitual social media use can lead to addiction over time. Finally, it explores the personal and professional consequences of excessive social media use, such as decreased work performance and increased stress.

The document summarizes findings from a Pew Research Center study on how American teens navigate social media. Some key findings:
- 88% of teen social media users have witnessed online cruelty. 15% have been targets themselves.
- While most teens (69%) feel peers are mostly kind online, their views are less positive than adults (85%).
- Teens report both positive (78%) and negative (41%) personal outcomes from social media interactions.
Social media is a widespread platform for sharing information that can empower communities and foster connections. While concerns exist about its impact, research shows social media generally has positive benefits by keeping users engaged and increasing empathy. To harness its power for social change, organizations should develop social media strategies and guidelines, monitor results, and meet users on the platforms they frequent like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn.

Facebook Fatigue: Pew Research
1. FEBRUARY 5, 2013
Coming and Going on Facebook
61% of Facebook users have taken a voluntary break from using the site at
one time or another and 27% plan to spend less time on the site this
coming year. Even so, two-thirds of online adults are now Facebook users.

2. Key Findings
Two-thirds of online American adults (67%) are Facebook users, making Facebook the dominant social
networking site in this country.1 And new findings from the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American
Life Project indicate there is considerable fluidity in the Facebook user population:
61% of current Facebook users say that at one time or another in the past they have voluntarily
taken a break from using Facebook for a period of several weeks or more.
20% of the online adults who do not currently use Facebook say they once used the site but no
longer do so.
8% of online adults who do not currently use Facebook are interested in becoming Facebook
users in the future.
We asked the 61% of Facebook users who have taken a break from using the site to tell us in their own
words why they did so, and they mentioned a variety of reasons. The largest group (21%) said that their
“Facebook vacation” was a result of being too busy with other demands or not having time to spend on
the site. Others pointed toward a general lack of interest in the site itself (10% mentioned this in one
way or another), an absence of compelling content (10%), excessive gossip or “drama” from their friends
(9%), or concerns that they were spending too much time on the site and needed to take a break (8%).
Reasons for Facebook Breaks
61% of Facebook users have voluntarily taken a multi-week break from using the site in
the past; these are the reasons they gave for doing so
Was too busy / Didn’t have time for it 21%
Just wasn’t interested / Just didn’t like it 10
Waste of time / Content was not relevant 10
Too much drama/gossip/negativity/conflict 9
Was spending too much time using the site 8
Only an intermittent or infrequent user 8
Went on vacation/trip/deployment 8
Just got tired/bored with it 7
No real reason / Just because 6
Concerns about privacy/security/ads/spam 4
Did not have computer/internet access 2
Prefer other ways to communicate / Facebook not “real life” 2
Health or age issues 2
Took a break for religious reasons 1
Didn’t like posting all the time / Didn’t want to share 1

a break from using the site in the past.

3. Some of the verbatim thoughts from those who took Facebook breaks include the following: “I was tired
of stupid comments.” … “[I had] crazy friends. I did not want to be contacted.” … “I took a break when it
got boring.” … “It was not getting me anywhere.” … “Too much drama.” ... “You get burned out on it
after a while.” … “I gave it up for Lent.” … “I was fasting.” … “People were [posting] what they had for
dinner.” … “I didn’t like being monitored.” … “I got harassed by someone from my past who looked me
up.”… “I don’t like their privacy policy.” … “It caused problems in my [romantic] relationship.”
One in five online adults (20%) say that they used Facebook in the past but no longer do so, and we also
asked this group to tell us—in their own words—what made them stop using the site. Although the
number of respondents who answered this question is too small to report detailed percentages, their
answers covered many of the same themes of those who continue to use Facebook but have taken a
break in the past. Some of their direct thoughts: “It’s a gossipy thing.” … “I didn’t like to talk too much.”
… “I’m not social.” … “My account was compromised.” … “I got tired of minding everybody else’s
business.” … “Not enough privacy.” … “Got too many communications.” … “Takes my time away.”
Findings in context: social networking site users are checking in more
frequently than ever
Even as many Facebook users adjust their time allocations on the site for the reasons listed above, the
vast majority of social networking site users — 92% of them, based on our most recent findings —
maintain a profile on Facebook. And other Pew Internet survey findings illustrate the continued
importance of social networking sites more generally to online life:
As recently as September 2009, 47% of online adults used social networking sites. Today 69% of
online adults — representing more than half of the entire adult population in the United States
— use an online social network of some kind. On a typical day nearly half of all adult internet
users access a social networking site.
Social networking site users are accessing these sites more frequently than in the past. In a
separate survey conducted in November 2012, some 41% of social networking site users said
that they access these sites several times a day — a statistically significant increase from the
33% of users who said that they accessed social networking sites with that level of frequency in
August 2011.
The value of Facebook to users and the time they spend on the site
When asked in the mid-December Omnibus survey to assess the amount of time they spend on
Facebook and the general value of Facebook in their lives, a majority of users say the site is as important
now as it was a year ago and about half say they use the site as much now as they did a year ago.
However, notable numbers point to a decreasing value and a decline in usage over the past year.
59% of Facebook users say the social networking site is about as important to them as it was a
year ago. And 53% of current users say the amount of time they are spending on Facebook has
stayed about the same over the past year.
pewinternet.org 3
4. 28% of Facebook users say the site has become less important to them than it was a year ago.
And 34% of current users say the amount of time they are spending on Facebook has decreased
over the past year.
12% of Facebook users say the social networking site has become more important to them than
it was a year ago. And 13% of current users say the amount of time they are spending on
Facebook has increased over the past year.
Women are more likely than men to report increased importance and greater time spent on the site.
Some 16% of female users (and 7% of men) say that Facebook has become more important to them
over the last year, and 16% of female users (and 9% of men) say that they spend more time on the site
now than they did a year ago.
On the other hand, some 42% of Facebook users ages 18-29 and 34% of those ages 30-49 say that the
time they spend on Facebook on a typical day has decreased over the last year — these are both
significantly higher than the 23% of users ages 50 and older who report decreased Facebook usage over
the same time period.

5. Plans for future use of Facebook
Asked about their plans for the coming year, most current users of Facebook say they expect their usage
levels will stay about the same. But around one in four say they plan to cut back on their Facebook
usage in 2013:
3% of Facebook users say they plan to spend more time on the site in the coming year.
27% of Facebook users say they plan to spend less time on the site in the coming year.
69% of Facebook users say they plan to spend the same amount of time on the site this coming
year.
Young adults are the most likely forecasters of decreased engagement. Some 38% of Facebook users
ages 18-29 expect to spend less time using the site in 2013, although a majority of users across age
groups anticipate that their Facebook usage will remain largely stable in the year to come.
