The Effects of Twitter and Instagram on Teenagers
1. Today, sharing of private information has become the norm. Every person, in particular the young people update their statuses on a daily basis as they go about their activities. People use social media sites such as Instagram to share their photos of themselves of their day-to-day lives. In addition, Facebook is a platform that is used to share with people what was on their minds at that particular moment. On Twitter, young people share their tweets on various subjects as the favorite ones get more retweets. Through the various social media sites, individuals become famous for all the wrong reasons. These are the ones whose Facebook status updates are liked most, their tweets retweeted the most times as well as their photos on Instagram liked most.
2. Social media sites have a great influence on teenagers today and the impact continued to increase over the years. For instance, teenagers on Twitter had grown significantly from 16% to 24%. The typical teenager on Facebook has at least three hundred friends while a typical teenager on Twitter has more than seventy-eight followers. Research indicates that at present teenagers are not as enthusiastic about Facebook as they were in the past. There are more adults on Facebook; therefore, making it more boring and there is more drama and chances of clashing. An estimated 60% of teenagers on Facebook keep their profiles rather private and they report high levels of confidence in their quest to manage their settings.
3. Many parents often ask themselves what their children are always doing on the internet and in particular social media all day long. It is important for these parents to understand that social media is now a way of life. One of the greatest effects of social media is that it is addictive. It is said that people have to log in to Facebook at least five times a day. It has become such a way life and a way to communicate with the rest of the world that a person cannot stay away from social media. According to studies, at least 63% of American have to log on to Twitter on a daily basis. Further, 40% of Americans log on more than once a day, a fact that almost all teenagers now have a mobile phone with them. This makes it easier for them to access social media sites as often as possible. This is not positive since it means that they will get addicted.
4. Getting addicted to social media is like any other addiction because people are not in a position to interact with other people since they do not have time to waste. Social media starts in the most harmless way possible. It starts to act as a source of distraction as well as boredom relief. Comments and likes are a positive reinforcement for people who had posted statuses or photos making it difficult for the individuals to stop that which they are doing. This addiction is common such that researchers create a scale, which can measure this particular addiction called ‘The Berge Faceboo ...
This is our research work which me and my friend did on Facebook , we have have tried to highlight that how male and female use Facebook differently , it is a statistical research hope you will get benefits from this.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
