Publicness in social media enables both benefits and challenges regarding privacy. The advantages include raising awareness for important issues like health causes, helping homeless animals find homes, and aiding law enforcement. However, the large amounts of personal data collected by social media companies impacts individual privacy. While publicness allows people to reconnect and share life experiences, the future may see a loss of privacy if data collection continues unchecked. Overall, social media publicness provides opportunities but also concerns regarding how personal information is used and protected.
- Youth are increasingly exposed and desensitized to graphic content like violence, crime, and inappropriate behavior through various media sources like mobile devices, video games, films, and news.
- This constant exposure can negatively impact youths' sensitivity to others' pain, increase fearfulness, and make them more prone to aggressive behavior. However, media can also be used for social good.
- There is a need for more research on the long term effects of this exposure and consideration of issues like content control and parental supervision.
This document discusses social media and its impacts on society. It notes that while social media allows connectivity with others and self-expression, it also enables privacy risks and the spread of misinformation. Too much social media use has been linked to increased anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation. Ultimately, the document concludes that social media can be positive or negative depending on how users manage their time on platforms and connect with others in real life as well.
Multitasking in the Digital World and Its Effects B_Haslam
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.
The document discusses the rise of live streaming as a new trend on social media platforms. It provides background on what live streaming is and how major platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have begun incorporating live streaming features. The reasons given for this shift include driving more user engagement and revenue. Live streaming is growing rapidly in China, where nearly half of internet users employ live streaming apps. The document outlines both opportunities and challenges of live streaming, such as the need to balance personal branding and external validation. Examples are given of how live streaming is used for e-commerce and by internet influencers in China.
The document discusses the effects of digital technology on children and recommendations around its use. It notes researchers recommend no screen time for children under 2 due to risks of behavioral issues, slower development, and obesity. For ages 2-5, screen time should be limited to 1 hour per day. However, many young children now use mobile devices daily. The document also discusses risks of social media like cyberbullying for older children and teens and recommends parents monitor use but also set a good example around technology.
The document discusses some of the negative impacts of social media, including cyberbullying and catfishing. It provides statistics showing that cyberbullying is common, with 43% of children reporting being bullied online and 1 in 4 saying it happened more than once. Catfishing, where people pretend to be someone else online, is also discussed. The document suggests that both cyberbullying and catfishing stem from issues like loneliness, low self-esteem, and a desire to harm others. While social media allows people to connect, it can also encourage people to create fake personas and identities online.
Constant mobile tracking of children by parents has negative consequences for the parent-child relationship and children's development. The use of tracking apps and devices allows "helicopter parents" to excessively monitor their children's whereabouts and activities. However, this level of monitoring can prevent children from gaining independence and experiencing autonomy. It also breeds distrust between parents and children as it invades children's privacy. Studies show this "helicopter parenting" style is linked to higher rates of anxiety, depression, and lower well-being in children as they grow into adults without learning self-sufficiency.

The rise of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets has led to the growth of mobile commerce (m-commerce). Usage of smartphones in Canada grew from 34% in 2012 to 47% in 2013. Over half of online sales are now made through mobile devices. As a result, companies must adapt their advertising and strategies to engage mobile users. However, m-commerce also raises privacy and security issues as personal data is increasingly collected through mobile apps and devices. For m-commerce to succeed, companies must implement strong privacy protections to build consumer trust.
The document discusses how technology has changed human behavior and development. It explores how increased technology usage has impacted childhood development, causing issues like reduced physical activity and increased psychological/behavioral disorders. However, more research is still needed to understand the relationships between technology and these impacts. The document also examines how constant connectivity through technology can reduce social skills and "social capital" by limiting meaningful interactions and connections with others.

Ben Rigby founded MobileVoter.org in 2004 to promote civic engagement through mobile technologies. He discusses how nonprofits can leverage various Internet tools and technologies, such as blogs, social networks, websites, wikis, maps, and mobile phones, to further their causes and mobilize supporters. Specifically, mobile phones allow nonprofits to recruit and coordinate volunteers on-demand by crowdsourcing small tasks that can be completed in spare moments.
The document discusses how digital technologies and mobile devices have negatively impacted people's attention spans and abilities to focus. It notes that people now check their phones every 6.5 minutes on average and spend over 3 hours per day on their devices. This constant connectivity has become an addiction that is depleting people's time, attention, and mental resources. Research shows that heavy mobile and internet use is associated with mental exhaustion, difficulty focusing, and an average attention span falling from 12 seconds to only 8 seconds. The document suggests people should carve out distraction-free time, turn off notifications, and engage in real-life activities to avoid overuse of digital technologies.
The Deception of Privacy, The Truth About a Plugged in LifeCindy Beneteau
Privacy in the digital age is challenged on many levels. Areas you may not even know are compromised. This assignment gives some examples where privacy has changed.
Film260 - Flipbook Assignment
This document discusses various privacy hazards related to internet and mobile device usage. It summarizes that approximately 2 billion people use social networks and share personal details online without realizing third parties can access this data. It also discusses how mobile apps and devices track user locations thousands of times without consent to share with advertisers. New technologies like connected mannequins and internet-enabled devices in homes and cars raise further privacy and security risks as personal data is increasingly collected and shared without awareness or control by individuals.
Digital distraction has become a serious problem, with estimates that $650 million per year is lost to distraction. The ubiquity of digital devices has introduced a new phenomenon of "digital distraction" and "multicommunicating" that can make people feel more alone and depressed. While digital devices are ubiquitous with 9 out of 10 North Americans owning a mobile device, overcoming distraction involves understanding psychology and behavior change, such as setting timers to limit device use and embracing analog activities like taking handwritten notes. Employers are also addressing distraction by limiting work server access after hours, and encouraging employees to structure their days into small, distraction-free chunks.
A recent study found that 31% of college admissions officers visit applicants' social media pages to learn more about them. 30% said they discovered information online that negatively impacted applicants' chances of admission. The document provides examples of instances where offensive or inappropriate social media posts led colleges to deny admission. It advises students to be mindful of what they post online and cautions that digital footprints on social media can unintentionally undermine applications. Tools exist to help students curate their online image and identify any unwise posts. However, the document also notes that social media can potentially showcase positive qualities that complement applications when used strategically.
Contemporary Social Issues. Media Impacts on Teens.megjanssen
The document discusses the effects that media has on teens. It covers how media portrays unrealistic body images and glorifies risky behaviors which can influence teens. It also examines how excessive social media and video game use has been linked to increased aggression, violence, and depression in teens. The social disorganization theory is presented as a way to understand how rapidly changing social norms from media exposure can disrupt societies expectations of teens.
Teen usage of social media has increased dramatically, with 72% using YouTube and 68% using Instagram. This increased usage has negatively impacted teen mental health, with 1 in 4 reporting poor mental health, distress, suicidal thoughts, or unmet mental health needs. Social media shapes teens' conceptions of beauty and alters how they think and interact by promoting unrealistic representations and social norms. It can also contribute to lack of independent thinking, peer pressure, cyberbullying, eating disorders, and depression in vulnerable teens. To help prevent these issues, parents can limit social media use, monitor the content teens engage with, and regularly discuss their mental well-being.
The document discusses the negative effects of social media on youth. It notes that 92% of teens go online daily and are spending too much time focused on their online image rather than developing real relationships. This heavy social media use can promote a hostile environment and negatively impact mental health. The document also examines how social media enables cyberbullying and the spread of rumors, citing the story of Audrie Pott who took her own life after being assaulted and bullied online. Overall, it argues that while technology is beneficial, youth spend too much time on screens and not enough on important developmental activities, and moderation is key.
Wearable technology is becoming increasingly popular and being used for a variety of purposes. It is predicted that 45% of customers will use a smartwatch in the future. Wearables are also being developed for pets, babies, seniors and more. However, increased connectivity and reliance on these devices raises privacy, security and autonomy concerns. With proper precautions around security updates and moderation, wearable technology has potential to seamlessly integrate into daily life.
The document discusses the decline of privacy on the internet. It argues that internet privacy is declining due to increased reliance on technology, the permanence of information online, and constant monitoring of users' activities. Factors such as the shift away from net neutrality, excessive data collection by companies, and the growing internet of things leave personal information increasingly vulnerable to security risks. The future of online privacy is uncertain without stronger legal protections for individuals' data and online activities.
Wearables provide both benefits and drawbacks. They can help users stay healthy, connected, and efficient. However, overreliance on wearables can lead to distraction from real-life relationships and negatively impact sleep, driving, and long-term health. While wearables have potential in healthcare, they also pose cybersecurity risks if personal health data is hacked. Additionally, current wearable designs are often seen as unattractive, and further improvements are needed to increase their aesthetic appeal and functionality for mainstream adoption.
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.
Digital technologies have transformed how people experience and share their lives. Many users actively curate their social media profiles to portray idealized versions of their lives. However, this has led to a world of "unreality" where people confuse simulated online representations for reality. New technologies like augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality increasingly blur the lines between real and virtual, allowing people to immerse themselves in simulated experiences. While these technologies provide opportunities to experience the impossible, they also risk further detachment from true reality and increased digital addiction if not approached carefully.
This document discusses several psychological benefits of social media use. Studies have shown that social media can boost self-esteem by allowing users to selectively share positive moments. Heaviest Facebook users report greater life satisfaction and social/political engagement. Social media also helps introverts and isolated adolescents develop social skills and find support networks. While social media has benefits, it is important to practice safe usage by taking breaks and avoiding comparing oneself to others.
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.

This document discusses gears and how they transfer motion. It contains the following key points:
1) Gears are a mechanism that can transmit or change the direction of motion/force. A driver gear connected to a motor can cause another gear (the driven gear) to move in the opposite direction.
2) The size and number of teeth on gears affects the speed and direction of motion. A gear with more teeth will cause the driven gear to rotate at a slower speed than the driver gear.
3) A gear train involves two or more gears joined together. The velocity of a driven gear can be calculated using a formula that involves the velocity of the driver gear and the number of teeth on each gear.

"Television provides vastly more visual information than radio and is more dynamic than a static printed page". ( University of Minnesota. 2010). Mass media has evolved drastically from when I was born in the 80s up until now. We use to get our information on newspaper, television, radio, and magazines. Now the media platform has grew so much. You can get the news on your phone and social media live tv. People are posting updates of new events on their pages and public forums. News are just a click of a button. Mass Media has influenced me in a very bad way. Sometimes I look at information that are not from reliable source and platforms that has no value. I tend to believe things on social media. Mass media has affected my friends, family, and co-workers in many different ways. There information sometimes are not crediable and they tend to spread the news incorrectly and fast. Mass media also has pursuade people to do things that they should not have done. One example I could give is with the recents events that happen at the capitol building. Some of the people say they were following what our former president told them to do. Television and ads can ifluence people to do things they could never imagine.

In years past television, radio, newspapers, and magazines provided the daily information that people needed in order have a sense of what was going on in the world in this country and in their local community. If people wanted to research a topic they would have to take a trip to the public library. The library was the place to access information. Sometimes it is difficult to know how much our lives have changed until we stop and look at how different things are compared to five or ten years ago. Whether you like to admit it or not social media plays a huge role in a lot of people's lives. Social media definitely is a major part of my daily life and honestly I couldn't imagine life without it. Without a doubt the age of social media has changed us as a society. For most part it's been a positive thing. Now we can connect with people across the world at the click of a button. We can stay in touch with family and friends keep on top of the latest news and connect with brands on a much more personal level.

Social media has negatively impacted society in several ways. It has increased children's exposure to pornography and violence, which can encourage risky behaviors. It has also led to issues like cyberbullying, which impacts 87% of teens and has caused some to delete social accounts or consider suicide. Additionally, much of the information spread on social media is false or lacks credibility. Overall, the document argues that while social media began with potential benefits, it has done more harm to society through these various detrimental effects on children and credibility of information.

Discuss the arguments used to encourage media censorship as well as the anti-censorship view. Do you agree or disagree with censorship concerning terrorism? Explain.
President Donald Trump is one of the many individuals who believe the media should be censored (Graham, 2017). After the massacre in Las Vegas and visiting Puerto Rico after they were hit by Hurricane Maria President Trump remained silent on social media platforms. He spoke out against the media stating that many of the allegations that were being made against him were lies and fake stories. Censorship will protect the government and the people from false news. It is normal to go on social media and find articles that are spreading propaganda because they are allowed to and it gets them money. The media should be censored to an extent in order to protect young adults and children. Children should not be able to find and access pornsites as easy as they do now. While in their learning years, they are more likely to engage in practices whether violent or nonviolent due to their exposure to the behavior.
Censorship could be a tricky solution because it goes against freedom of speech and may cause issues for forms of media where censorship may destroy their platform. Platforms like these include porn, news outlets, debate platforms, and more. I agree with the anti-censorship argument due to the jobs it may affect if put into place. There are many people who work in the sex industry and pay their taxes just like everyone else. In my own experience, social media outlets such as Face Book attempt to censor information on their platform, but they may not be able to control everything that is put out on their platform. People should have access to information that keeps them updated on what is going on in their country. Another problem with censorship is misleading information. When people are not aware of what it is going on, they have to believe what is being allowed to be shown to them (Burnett, 2015).

Discuss the arguments used to encourage media censorship as well as the anti-censorship view. Do you agree or disagree with censorship concerning terrorism? Explain.
Media Censorship
Media censorship can be defined as a supervision or control of both information and ideas that are shared among people within a society. In other words it is considered ...
The document provides case studies and analyses of campaigns by several organizations:
- St Mungo's aims to raise awareness of homelessness and help the homeless through rehoming and donations. Their campaigns use images showing transformation from homelessness.
- Cancer Research aims to raise money for cancer research. Their campaigns emphasize that cancer remains a problem and research is needed to find a cure.
- FckH8 aims to legalize same-sex marriage and end homophobia through provocative videos and campaigns targeting youth on social media.
- NSPCC and Barnardos both help children, but have different campaign styles - NSPCC emphasizes branding recognition over message, while Barnardos prioritizes
The document discusses arguments around the issue of media bias. It presents the argument that media bias may not inherently be a problem if audiences are aware of potential biases and can filter information accordingly. However, others argue that biases can still influence audiences in subtle ways. The document also discusses psychological phenomena like confirmation bias that can affect how audiences perceive biases in the media.
Covers a wide range of literature from Media framing and moral panics to contemporary disruption from social media, esports, online communities, and fake news.
This document discusses why people overshare personal information on social media. It notes that some reasons people overshare include because they think it defines who they are, there is a separation between their online and offline identities, and they believe everyone else is doing it. However, the document warns that oversharing can have real consequences, like hurting university or job applications if admissions officers or employers find inappropriate content. It emphasizes that information shared online can remain accessible forever, so people should be careful about what they post.

Fear of the unknown…
These are some actuals fears people had when new technology was introduced. Do
you see a pattern? (PYLE, 2013)
Printing Press and Books: “Information overload. Too many books are both confusing
and harmful to the brain.”
Newspaper and Telegraph: “Create nervous disorders by exposing people to sorrows of
individuals everywhere.”
Telephone: “It can make you deaf…and the electric current might kill you!”
Radio: “There is very little danger that Americans will resort to the vice of thinking. The
death of conversation is also forecast, to be replaced by the rattle and bang of
incredibly frightful jazz.”
Television: “It will hurt radio, conversation, reading, and the patterns of family living”
Take a look at this short video about the pattern of fear with new technologies.
A. Raposo
3. Pattern of Fear with New
Technologies
Don’t fear the Gadget (Big Think, 2012)
Jeff Jarvis explains that when new technologies are
introduced to society it causes changes that people
aren’t ready for. When people don’t fully
understand the technology or see how it fits in their
lives, they fear what could go wrong. This causes
disruptions in their lives as well. When the Kodak
camera was invented people were fearful, even
President Teddy Roosevelt outlawed taking pictures
in Washington parks.
A. Raposo
4. Continued…
So what happened? Do we still use cameras today?
Yes, people started getting used to cameras and it became the
norm of society. What’s the famous saying when someone
takes your picture? SMILE! Now pictures bring joy. Fear is a
normal reaction to technology, but we shouldn’t let it hold us
back. (Big Think, 2012)
How about the internet and concerns of privacy?
Jeff Jarvis explains that the internet is a much bigger
technology and privacy is important. He goes further to
explain that people should also note that the internet brings
new opportunities. “The magnificent tool to publicness.” Let
take a look at what Jeff Jarvis means about the opportunities
publicness brings. (Big Think, 2012)
A. Raposo
5. Benefits of Sharing Information
Jeff Jarvis writes in his blog post, called The small c and me:
“I have cancer, prostate cancer…Why am I even telling you
about this? …I gained tremendous benefit sharing another
ailment – heart arrhythmia – here on my blog. And so I have no
doubt that by sharing this, I will get useful advice and warm
support . I argue for the benefits of the public life. So I’d
better live it.” (Jarvis, 2009)
Image from (Jarvis, 2009)
Jeff Jarvis believes that the positive aspect of social media is that it allows people to
be more public . The main purpose of social media is to allow people to connect and
share information with others. Before this can happen, Jeff Jarvis explains that people
have to reveal themselves as members to particular groups. In the above blog post,
Jeff Jarvis hopes that by revealing his prostate cancer diagnoses, he would get useful
advice and support. It’s been four years since the above posting and Jeff has received
over 300 comments, let’s see what kind of feedback he received from the public.

Bill Thompson: Jeff, I'm sorry to hear your news, but know that you'll face this as you face other
challenges and come through. Sharing it is brave, but you will have support from me and all the
others who have come to know and respect you and your work. Thinking of you
Bob: I went through prostate cancer robotic surgery two years ago, and would suggest the
following: 1) find a prostate cancer support group and attend some of their meetings…
Gina Chen: Best of luck for a quick recovery. My father-in-law and a friend both had prostrate
cancer, caught it early. Both are fine. Sure you will be, too. Thinking of you.
Jonathan Este: All the best Jeff. Good luck with the treatment and all credit to you for sharing - if
it prompts more men to get themselves checked then you've done us a real good turn.
From revealing himself, Jeff received more then just support and advice from
people. He created an outlet for people to be public about their personal life
and most importantly raise awareness. Let’s take a look at others ways people
use social media to raise awareness about heath issues. (Jarvis, 2009)
A. Raposo
7. Raising Awareness: Movember Campaign
About: Movember is a global campaign where men grow mustaches in the
month of November to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues.
Members use the powerful tool of social media as a platform to raise
awareness and educate people of men’s health issues. They even create
profiles on the campaign website to show their efforts. (Movember, 2013)
Impact:
• $850,000 people worldwide raised $126.3M USD for men’s health issues
• 67% recommended someone else to see a doctor
• 20% went to see a doctor
• 43% became more aware and educated about the health risks they face
• More and more countries are joining the campaign (Movember, 2013)

Social Media sites such as Facebook have pages that are informational and supportive of
cancer research for both people who are public on social media, and people who aren’t
If we are all aware, we can start saving lives
If this continues, it is possible that social media can help raise donations for a cancer cure in
the future

“Kids who are overweight often feel
like they are all alone,” he says. “When
they go on the site and see post after

this can be very powerful.”(Boyles,

12. Publicness in Social Media is Leading
to Future Political Awareness
• "On the basis of the US
Patriot Act, US authorities
are asking US companies
based in Europe to hand
over the data of EU citizens.
This is however – according
to EU law – illegal," said
Reding. "The problem is
that when these companies
are faced with a request
whether to comply with EU
or US law, they will usually
opt for the American law.
Because in the end this is a
question of power."

Publicness in social media enabled
Edward Snowden decision to leak a
trove of secret documents outlining
the NSA’s surveillance.
Democratization plays a roll in allowing
people to access this information
through social media
This is a political apathy antidote –
with the freedom of publicness in
social media, this is bringing political
consciousness to generations with
disinterest or lack of knowledge
13. The Power of Social Media in Egypt’s
Revolution
Khaled Said, a young Egyptian businessman, was brutally
murdered by Egyptian policemen after he uploaded footage of
police corruption on YouTube. After learning of this terrible
incident and wanting to become more politically active, Wael
Ghonim created a Facebook page called “We are all Khaled
Said.” The page featured morgue photos of Khaled Said and
the page gathered 500,000 members. Members were mostly
outraged Egyptians who were ready to rally against
government corruption. The Facebook page would later focus
on tracking other account of police brutally, wrongful arrests,
and corrupt government. The page also became a place
where people planned and organized protests. This would
later spark an Egyptians revolution, without the need of
foreign involvement.(Crovitz, 2011)

14. Publicness in Social Media can Lead to
a Safer Future
•
•
•
A. Beech
Publicness on social media sites
give police a handle on potential
criminals
“I’d been looking for this robbery
suspect. Detectives were at a dead
end; I decide to look and see if the
guy has Facebook. He does,
completely unsecured, and had
just ‘checked-in’ at a strip club.
Search the lot, find a car matching
the description of what he was
seen leaving the robbery in. Turns
out to be stolen. Wait for him to
walk out, ID him, bring him to the
detectives with their jaws hanging
open. Guy admitted to it all. I
didn’t even have to use my A.K.”
(Knibbs, 2013)
This brings us closer to a criminal
free future (or at least a safer
future)

Media for
Businesses
(Infographic), 2013)
Studies have shown that businesses who have a strong web presence perform
significantly better than their competitors who are offline. Social media
allows businesses to develop a strong identity and brand online, with the help
of online consumers. Consumers are able to comment of their experience
with a brand, which can attract other consumers if their experience was
positive. The best part is that social media websites like Facebook and Twitter
are free and easy to setup. Controlling consumer feedback on company
websites/blogs is also key for business success. Not only does it allow
businesses to interact with their customers, but it also gives consumers an
outlet to voice their opinions or issues. (Benefits of Websites & Social Media
for Businesses (Infographic), 2013)

Publicness in social media is an advantage to
many businesses
In the year 2020, will publicness in social media
lead to all or most businesses basing out of social
media?
The higher the technology the higher the sales “As more brand dollars flow into social media,
some firms will be able to build scale and others
will lose the race and fall by the wayside.” (Smith,
2013)
Facebook is the most popular and beneficial
social media site for businesses and advertising
“There is no better window into the fast-changing
world of social media marketing than Facebook's
preferred marketing developer program. It has
only been in existence for 18 months, and already
there are over 260 such partners operating
worldwide, helping brands plug into Facebook's
ad platforms and parse performance.” (Smith,
2013)

17. Benefits of Social Media for Students
By using social media for school purposes students receive the following benefits :
• Influence school activities
• Increase “academic” or “educational” networking
• Learn responsibility, safety, reputation, good citizenship
• Stimulate engagement, discussion, and understanding
• Learn collaboration
• Develop 21st century skills

Here’s another example of how students and even educators can benefit from
using social media.
The ed.ted.com website allows educators to create or enhance educational
YouTube videos for students. (TED-Ed, 2013)
TED-Ed video features for educators:
Let’s Begin section – add content or define a learning objective
Think section – add multiple choice questions or open answer questions
Dig Deeper section – expand on video with links to articles, references, or
blogs

20. Reuniting of Friendships
• An example of how social media can affect privacy in a
good way…
• “The India-Pakistan partition in 1947 separated many
friends and families overnight. A granddaughter in India
decides to surprise her grandfather on his birthday by
reuniting him with his childhood friend (who is now in
Pakistan) after over 6 decades of separation, with a little
help from Google Search.”

“Facebook gives you the
opportunity to maintain
relationships with friends
and family, regardless of
distance.”
– “With a few clicks,
we're able to share in
others' life
experiences, be it old
colleagues or friends
from high school.”
(Koifman, 2013)
“Social media acts as a
form of self-expression and
is influencing how we share
our personalities; it's up to
us to use it effectively.”

Publicness on social media sites and
online dating sites enables users to
broaden their love life
– In the future this may reduce fear
of never finding that “special
someone”
– Larger population by the year 2020
23. Challenges & Concerns of Social
Media and Privacy
For many years the Internet and the fast growing
Social Media have been seen as the new means of
democratization, breaking through the boundaries of
time and space and shifting from the monopoly of
Information to the oligopoly of the many voices that
crowded the virtual communities.

For people like Alessandro
Acquisti (Carnegie, 2013), on
the other hand, there is a fight
going on over the matter of
privacy! Through Social Media
and face-recognition software,
for example, it is possible to
take a picture of someone with
a mobile phone, put it on the
air, and you could have all sorts
of information about that
person from public domain and
through data from Social

Concerns include:
• A person’s personal

38. Concerns in Social Media
Idea 1:
Publicness (lack of
privacy) in Social Media
can have a negative
effect on Intellectual
Property (IP) of
businesses
J. Dalit
39. What is Intellectual Property?
• Original creations such as inventions,
literary and artistic works etc.
• There are rights that need to be applied to
intellectual property such as: patents,
trade-marks, copyright etc.
J. Dalit
40. Intellectual Property
•Case 1: Kim Wilson who was given
the prestigious award for
postdoctoral fellowship to work in a
stem cell research lab located at a
Canadian University. Her current
work is leading to significant
discoveries for spinal cord injury
treatment. She is interested in
marketing some of her research
however she fears of other
researchers having access to her
research (Canadian Intellectual
Property Office, 2012).
J. Dalit
41. Intellectual Property Theft
• Case Study 2: Noam Galai is an
artist who was involved in an
“unusual case of Intellectual
Property theft”. He had posted a
photo of that he took of himself
screaming onto Flickr (a Photo
sharing website) thinking that he
was only sharing this photo with
close relatives and friends. Two
years after posting this image on
this photosharing site, it began to
appear in many countries and
being used on consumer products
such as t-shirts etc. He quickly
noticed that he was a victim of
Intellectual Property theft
(Charney, 2011)

42. Publicness (lack of privacy) in Social
Media can have a negative impact on
Identity theft.
J. Dalit
43. What is Identity theft?
• Collecting another person’s personal
information to operate crimes.
• Information collecting is commonly used for
financial crimes.
• Illegal in Canada
J. Dalit
44. Identity Theft
Case Study 1: Colonel James
Jones had his identity stolen in
1999 after an online posting of
retired command officer in the
US army became public on a
website. In addition to their
names being posted, they also
had their Social Security
Number that was then stolen
by certain people who
committed online identity
thefts and credit card
frauds (Arnold, 2000).
J. Dalit
45. Identity Theft
Case 2: A couple by the names
of Lara Love and David Jackson
are known to the public as the
“neighbours from hell”. They
were convicted for 30 counts
of possessing other people’s
identity. This was done by
hacking into non-secured
Internet connections, pirating
mail and stealing wallets of
people they have developed
close relationships with (Frater,
2009)

46. Identity Theft
If we don’t act now
to safeguard our
privacy, we could all
become
victims of identity
theft.
- Bill Nelson
J. Dalit
47. The Perception of Privacy in the
future:
•
•
•
•
One major discovery and solution
producers have made was the single
access sign-on.
For example, a Facebook user can
sign up or log into various other
websites just by connecting his/her
Facebook account to that website.
Facebook offers other websites
information about the user and viceversa.
Therefor, when a user logs into a
website, it will make suggestions for
the user (Reputation.com, 2013).
J. Dalit
48. (Idea 3: The perception of
privacy in the future: how
social media will impact
privacy in 2020
“The problem isn't PRISM but you and
me. We let this happen. We allowed
government, business and my fraking
profession, the news media, to create
a culture of fear. Americans are
seemingly afraid of everything.
Someone could snatch your kids, so
you don't let them play in the
frontyard. Is another example even
necessary?” (Wilcox, 2013)
BOYCOTT THE INTERNET
• Internet users will come to
realization that if you want
to be online, you can’t have
privacy
• People are afraid of what
we are enabling for the
government with the use of
social media
• Internet users boycott in
the future because of the
concern for privacy
A. Beech
49. Will the internet run out!?
• “How do we know we are approaching the
limits of our current telecom infrastructure?
The signs are subtle, but they are there. A
personal example—When I use Skype to send
my parents in Germany live video of my kids
playing hockey, the video sometimes freezes at
the most exciting moments. In all, this doesn’t
happen too often, but it happens more
frequently lately—a sign that networks are
becoming stressed by the amount of data
they’re asked to carry.” (Greenemeier, 2013)
• There is the possibility of simply running out of
capacity or money to keep up with the internet
• In relation to privacy concerns, the more we
use the internet, the more information about
ourselves is being spread as well as internet
capacity being taken up from this
A. Beech
50. Will Siri Take Over the World?
• Apple Inc.'s voice activated personal isistant who goes by the
name “Siri” is getting smarter as we know it!
• How? Through the sacrifice of our personal privacy.
• Every time we ask Siri a question, she has access to our
personal information in which she can gain knowledge from
A. Beech
51. Less Social Media Fame
• Gaining fame and attention
through Social Media has
recently become one of the
most popular ways to get
famous
• If everyone is attempting
this and with less online
privacy in the future, will
Social Media Fame, Status,
or Social Capital be

53. Face recognition technologies
• In the UK, Tesco is planning to install screens able to
scan customers’ faces to provide personalized adds
(The Guardian, 2013)
• Soon, facial recognition will be used not to keep us
safe, but rather to target us to advertisers. The
technology is coming to the grocery store, in the form
of "smart shelves” (Smith, 2013).

54. Geolocation Technologies
• Geolocation is the practice of
determining the location of an
object such as a mobile phone
(Magallanes, 2013).
• Today technologies are able to
track your mobile for a number of
reason: advertising, enabling
applications such as google maps
and many other useful apps to
simplify your life; but to do so
they need to access to all of your
movements.
• And often, applications are not
there to serve you, but to be used
against you!

55. Do we want this?
• Imagine enetering a shop and receive personalized
erotic adverts because you visited erotic websites, or
worse because some of your friends from a social
network did!
• Imagine saying that you are late because you are
stuck somewhere else, and being unmasked by being
tracked and geo-localized through your smartphone!
• Imagine if one day all of these information will be
used agaist you because laws have changed or
because we fall into a dictatorship!

56. As new threats arise… responses,
as well, are provided by many…
• Japan's National
Institute of Informatics
has developed glasses
that can detect and stop
facial recognition
(Isaacson, 2013).
• «Extremists» already
begun pointing out this
issue more than a year
ago and providing their
solutions clicck here

Many changes in technology today
Risks in the use of data, especially in analytics
Citizens, businesses, government want “instant data, data in the raw”

•
Concerns on secret processing of online information by law enforcement and national security
agencies
Parliament and public debates about the secret surveillance of citizens
Need for more transparencies of these programs for public and private sectors

BC Privacy Commissioner, Elizabeth Denham also states that
todays’ youth will have concerns of privacy in their adult years
when looking for a job. Today’s youth, “live online” and post
information like they have “nothing to hide.” This can become
a concern for them in the future when they are looking for
employment and want hide what they posted in their younger
days. (Denham, The future of privacy. Surveillance society,
Mobile security, Genome identification, 2013)
What needs to happen to avoid concerns?
– Young Canadians need to think about the future more and the
possible road blocks for being so public online
– More educated users
– Need new approach to protect the youth online
– Need to protect our information rights

Future of Privacy:
Facebook and Google
Ms. Denham believes that Facebook and Google
will do also do their part in protecting the privacy of
their users. There may be some friction in talks of
privacy because these companies value publicness
while some users want more privacy.
In the end, social media companies will need to
listen to their users because without them they
would not be able to operate successfully.

society, Mobile security, Genome identification,

60. Balance of Publicness and Privacy
In conclusion, Jeff Jarvis, advocate for publicness, believes that
publicness and privacy is controlled by the creator of the work, which
is an advantage for users. Everyone chooses how public or private they
want to be on social media. Before these choices can be made, people
should consider the “risks and rewards”, there should be a balance.
(Crovitz, Information age: Are we too hung up on privacy?, 2011)
Publicness Rewards: feeling of connection world, reuniting friendships,
social media fame, raising health and political awareness, support,
advice, safer future, student benefits, business benefits.
Privacy Risks: Identity and intellectual property theft, face recognition,
geolocation technology.
