Technology and Social Interactions - Maya Mounayar
This is my answer to the following question for IE business school application:
How do you imagine social interaction within 10 years, taking into consideration the impact of technology on human relations?
By Maya Mounayar
The Media & The Masses: A Toxic Relationship
The document discusses the relationship between media and society as toxic. It notes our increasing dependence on media in daily life. While media initially provided benefits like expanded reach and empowerment, prolonged exposure has resulted in negative implications like isolation, depression, and restricted social interaction. The time spent online has doubled in the past decade and risks turning the benefits of online communication into an emotionally abusive relationship. The document argues we should moderate media usage to ensure it creates solutions rather than issues.
Mindfulness and media
While technology can present challenges to mindfulness with frequent distractions and multi-tasking, it may also provide opportunities. Mindfulness requires maintaining present-moment awareness of one's thoughts, feelings, and environment. Technologies like smartphones encourage constant task-switching, depleting limited cognitive resources. However, meditation apps can guide mindfulness practice, and some devices block distractions during focus. Further, with flexible thinking, it remains possible to thoughtfully use technology while staying attentive to current activities and experiences.
Growing Up in a Technological Time
The document discusses the dangers of excessive technology use by children. It notes that children now spend on average 7.5 hours per day using entertainment technology. This overuse can negatively impact children's mental and physical health, academics, social skills, and safety. Specifically, it is linked to increased rates of issues like ADHD, obesity, and lower grades. The constant technology use also reduces kids' physical activity and social interaction in the real world.

Humans and Technology go hand-in-hand. The technological advances in the last century had significant impact on the way Humans socially interact in today's world. This presentation is an attempt to capture the current situation and forecast the way humans would interact socially in the coming years.
Flipbook
The document discusses the impact of social media on youth. It notes that nearly half the world's population is online and over two-thirds of online users engage with social media. For youth, social media is integrated into their daily lives and they tend to be early adopters of new technologies. While social media can positively impact education and friendship building, it can also increase risks like cyberbullying, oversharing of private information exposing youth to identity theft, and excessive use reducing real-world social skills. Both benefits and dangers of social media should be considered for youth.
Samantha Weima Flipbook
This document discusses the digital divide between those who have access to the internet ("iHaves") and those who do not ("iHave Nots"). Low-income individuals, ethnic minorities, immigrants, and the elderly are most affected. While internet access has become important for education, communication, and opportunities, only 65% of low-income households are connected, compared to 95% of wealthier households. Efforts to bridge the digital divide include increasing public access points and providing digital literacy training to help people take advantage of online resources. The goal is to give marginalized groups more opportunities through access to information, education, and communication online.
Comes as Advertised?: Advertising's Negative Effects On Society
Advertising has many negative effects on society. It bombards people with messages through various media platforms on a daily basis. Exposure to advertising is linked to increased rates of issues like low self-esteem, depression, eating disorders, and childhood obesity. It also negatively influences behaviors like underage drinking, problem gambling, and overspending. Further, children under 8 do not understand the persuasive intent of ads and ads aimed at kids primarily promote unhealthy products. One must think critically about the advertisements they encounter.

Social Society
a perspective on social media on the basis of it's effects on relationships, mental health as well as it's potential to help the world.
Digital multitasking (2)
This document summarizes research on digital multitasking and its effects. It defines multitasking and digital natives, and explores both the positive and negative effects of digital multitasking. While some "high media multitaskers" showed increased productivity with distractions, research also linked heavy multitasking to decreased academic performance, increased stress, and lower productivity overall. The verdict is that digital natives should limit multitasking on devices to be happier, healthier and more productive, unless they are among the small percentage that multitask effectively.
Multitasking in the Digital World and Its Effects
The document discusses the effects of multitasking in the digital world. It notes that with various forms of media being integrated together, there are cognitive effects on people from taking in multiple forms of information at once. Some research has found that high media multitaskers performed better when working with distractions compared to focusing on one task. However, prolonged media use without breaks can lead to withdrawal-like symptoms, and heavy social media use has been linked to poor mental health in teens. In conclusion, while multimedia platforms allow for enhanced information sharing and interaction, they also come with disadvantages regarding addiction.
MCDM Health Presentation
This presentation discusses how communication is changing with more information and noise, requiring more transparency and trust. Storytelling and building community can help communicate effectively. New media allows for social production over market production, with people sharing and taking collective action outside traditional institutions. Social networking is influencing healthcare, with top online sources being YouTube and WebMD. While few actively create health content online, many read others' experiences. Mobile devices may increase social health conversations, though privacy and reputation are concerns. Listening on social media and starting participation slowly with blogging is advised. People increasingly seek health discussions and support from each other online.
Sean.kenny.film240.flipbook.assignment2
The document discusses the negative effects of social media usage on teenagers. It notes that social media can lead to mental health issues like depression and anxiety in teens due to cyber bullying, constant self-criticism from viewing peers' profiles, and using social platforms when feeling stressed instead of talking to others. Teenagers are also prone to distraction from social media while doing other tasks like driving or studying. The overuse of social media fails to provide healthy social interaction and physical activity that developing teenage minds require.
Electronics and Sleep
Using electronics within an hour of going to sleep has been shown to negatively impact sleep quality, quantity, and daytime alertness. Almost all Americans regularly use electronics like TVs, computers, phones, and video games before bed. This is problematic because the blue light from screens suppresses melatonin production and using engaging devices too close to bedtime can mentally stimulate the brain and disrupt sleep associations with the bedroom. It is recommended to avoid electronics in the hour before sleep to promote better sleep health.
Healthy work? -Walke, Jessica
This document discusses the impact of social media and technology on mental health and relationships. It notes that while social media allows people to curate positive versions of themselves, increased screen time can lead to social isolation and cyberbullying. Parents have valid concerns about children's social media usage contributing to mental health issues. The document advocates understanding how social media affects mental health to help prevent issues and finding a balance with technology.

BENGTSSON-Big Data in the Service of Humanitarian Operations
http://www.unglobalpulse.org/unicef-virtualworkshop
Dr. Linus Bengtsson - a clinical epidemiologist – discussed his work with mobile phone networks to effectively track population movements following the Haiti Earthquake. The data collected assisted the more efficient distribution of humanitarian relief to populations in need. His new organization, Flowminder, based in Stolkholm Sweden, is establishing a global clearinghouse for aggregating, analyzing, and disseminating anonymized mobile phone location data to NGOs and relief agencies during disaster relief and reconstruction efforts.
Mapping a Unified Experience Across Multiple Devices
This document discusses designing a unified experience across multiple devices. It notes the many different devices people use and how usage patterns vary by device and time of day. It also discusses topics like information architecture, environmental design, and user experience design. The goal is to create a continuous experience for users that bridges different devices and usage contexts.
The evolution of technology
Technology has many benefits for seniors and society. It has increased life expectancy through medical advances and allows seniors to live more active lifestyles through devices that track health. The senior population is growing rapidly and will double by 2040, showing the need for technologies that can help aging populations. Technologies also continue to evolve in other areas like electric vehicles that may become driverless, and private space travel that could offer trips to space within a few years. Technologies have connected people in new ways through video chat and access to information online.
Film240
This document discusses the relationship between social media use and mental health in youth. It reports that youth spend on average 7 hours per day using social media, and that 25% of teens who use social media for over 2 hours daily experience poor mental health. The document also notes that cyberbullying is a public health concern associated with negative consequences like depression, and that early depression in youth is linked to later psychosocial issues. Finally, it states that parenting guidance is needed to help youth have healthy social media habits and avoid potential problems like bullying, inappropriate content, and body image issues promoted on some sites.
The New Era of News: How Social Media is Impacting The U.S Presidential Election
Social media has become a primary source of news for many Americans, especially millennials. It has changed how political campaigns operate and how voters receive information about candidates. Millennials now make up a significant portion of eligible voters, and their views are influenced by political discussions on social media. However, there is a lack of certainty about the factual accuracy of news shared on social media platforms. The 2016 presidential election has highlighted the large role social media now plays in how voters learn about candidates and political issues.
Pew state of media 2012 overview
This document summarizes key findings from the 2012 Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism report on the state of the American news industry. It notes that technology giants like Google, Facebook, and Apple are increasingly powerful makers of digital services and may acquire major news brands. It also discusses trends like more mobile news consumption, social media being important but not overwhelming drivers of news, growing cable news viewership, more outlets adopting digital subscriptions, and privacy becoming a larger issue for the news industry.
Taking the Global Pulse - Photo Book
The document discusses how new technologies are enabling the analysis of real-time data generated from mobile phones and other digital sources. This data, known as "digital exhaust," contains signals that can reveal information about human behavior, economic activity, and emerging vulnerabilities. The United Nations has launched an initiative called Global Pulse that aims to harness real-time data analysis to better protect vulnerable populations and inform crisis response. Several examples are provided that demonstrate how real-time analysis of communication data from mobile phones has provided insights into human behavior and economic conditions in different parts of the world.
Networked worlds and networked enterprises
Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center Internet Project, shows how the large, loosely knit social circles of networked individuals expand opportunities for learning, problem solving, decision making, and personal interaction. The new social operating system of “networked individualism” requires us to develop networking skills and strategies, work on maintaining ties, and balance multiple overlapping networks. The “triple revolution” that has brought on this transformation: the rise of social networking, the capacity of the Internet to empower individuals, and the always-on connectivity of mobile devices. Drawing on extensive evidence, Rainie examines how the move to networked individualism has driven changes in organizational structure, job performance criteria, and the way people interact in workplaces. He presents a glimpse of the new networked enterprise and way of working.
The State of Digital Marketing in the Networked Age
The State of Digital Marketing in the Networked AgePew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project
Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project, discusses the Project’s latest research about internet use, mobile connectivity, and social media, and what the findings mean for marketers. He will explore how "networked information" has very different characteristics from "industrial era media" and why this has profound implications for the way marketers gain attention for their messages and interact with their audiences.Multitasking With Media
The document discusses media multitasking, which is defined as engaging with multiple media platforms simultaneously. While media multitasking can provide benefits like increased efficiency, research shows it can negatively impact performance and comprehension. Younger generations in particular tend to media multitask constantly across devices. However, studies indicate people have limited cognitive resources and perform worse when multitasking rather than focusing on single tasks. Therefore, the document calls for younger people to better understand these drawbacks and learn to step away from constant technology use.
Flipbook-FILM 240- Social Media Makes us Smarter
The document discusses how social media can make people smarter through increased reading, writing, collaboration, and multi-tasking. It provides evidence that social media users read more books, enhancing mental health and performance. College students produce significant writing through blogs and social media. Sites like Twitter encourage concise writing. Additionally, social media may improve verbal, research and critical thinking skills while allowing lifelong learning across generations.
The Gap Between Elderly People and Technology
The document discusses the gap in technology usage between elderly people and younger generations. It notes that two-thirds of those over 74 do not own computers or smartphones, and only 30% go online. Younger people are much more likely to reach for their phones automatically. As people are living longer, the number of elderly people is growing substantially. Closing the technology gap could improve seniors' quality of life by helping them connect with family and access services. However, technology can be intimidating for seniors, and most products are not designed with their needs in mind. Efforts are being made to develop more senior-friendly technologies and provide support to help bridge this gap.

Health Care Collaboration & Community in Virtual Worlds & Second Life
Health Care Collaboration & Community in Virtual Worlds & Second LifeUniversity of Michigan Taubman Health Sciences Library
Second only to the general concept of Web 2.0, virtual worlds are the source of more articles in PubMed than any other emerging social technology. Of the many virtual worlds, Second Life (a free, open source 3d virtual world platform) is the one with the strongest presence in health care communities, from patient groups and medical education to research and professional meetings. Second Life can enable health systems to create either public or secure private spaces for functions from patient education, outreach, staff training, remote meetings, or more. As with any social technology, understanding the context and norms of the online space are essential to making institutional engagement a success. In this session, we will look at case studies illustrating how some organizations have used Second Life for communication, collaboration and community engagement.Pillars of the Digital Age [v4] #AXASocial

Interpersonal communication notes for powerpoint
Interpersonal communication has changed significantly in the digital era. As digital technology use grows rapidly across all ages and locations, important face-to-face interactions are being replaced by online communication. The Uses and Gratifications Theory suggests that emerging adults use media like social networking sites and cell phones to fulfill needs for autonomy, identity, and intimacy. However, overreliance on instant gratification from online interactions can negatively impact real-world relationships and lead to issues like distraction and depression. While older generations still rely more on traditional media, younger people are early adopters of new technologies and tend to communicate more intimately online than in person.

Smartphone technology has dramatically changed the way people interact with the physical and online
world. Research shows both positive and negative impacts of smartphone and social platform use.
Positive outcomes relate to social capital and engagement, while negative impacts result from
compulsive usage, negative comparisons and the stress of being ‘always on’. Little evidence is available
regarding wellbeing impacts of smartphone use at particular times of day. This study measures the
impact of overnight smartphone use on wellbeing. Experimental group participants abstained from
smartphone use in the bedroom for one week. The Subjective Happiness Scale, Quality of Life Scale,
Smartphone Addiction Scale and Intensity & Time Affect Survey were issued at the beginning and end of
the week. Paired sample T-Tests compared pre and post intervention participant surveys scores. It was
hypothesised that subjective wellbeing would increase. In three out of four measures (SAS-SV, SHS and
QOLS) the hypothesis was upheld, although impacts were relatively small. 93.6% of experimental group
participants said they “might’ or “would” consider self-imposing intervention conditions moving for-
ward, suggesting that participants experienced greater benefits not measurable through the question-
naires selected. Some qualitative analysis supports exploration of findings. Further research to explore
other wellbeing impacts is encouraged.

1. Introduction (INC. Literature review)
1.1. Introduction
The 21st century is the era of the smartphone. At the end of
2016, four out of five UK adults owned a smartphone, with some
69% of people looking at their phone within half an hour of waking,
and 58% within half an hour of going to sleep at night (Marsden &
Lee, 2016). Therefore, phones have become humans’ constant
companions.
The prevalence and low cost of smartphone technology (Sapacz,
Rockman, & Clark, 2016) resulted in increased use of technology
and individuals' subsequent 24/7 accessibility to the outside world,
via email, phone-call, text message, Whatsapp and other so ...

Argumentative Essay Sample 1000 words
The document discusses the detrimental effects of excessive computer and internet use in educational settings. It summarizes research showing that visual media like computers and the internet impair verbal skills, reflection, focus, and imagination. Studies found students who accessed the internet during class performed worse on tests compared to students without internet access. Excessive screen time also reduces reading for pleasure, hindering skills like vocabulary and critical thinking. While technology has its place, a balanced approach to media consumption is needed in schools to develop various skills. The document concludes we must limit computer and internet use, especially in educational settings, to avoid negative impacts on youth development.
