Social Media In the Workplace - Film 260
A flipbook on the effects of social media in the workplace, focusing on productivity, communication and stress.
Leveraging Social Media to Promote Collaboration
This document discusses leveraging social media to encourage collaboration in organizations. It argues that social tools like blogs, wikis, Facebook and Twitter act as universal platforms that enable easy, interactive and proactive participation from all users. These emerging social software platforms (ESSPs) allow structure to emerge organically through mechanisms like tagging and weak/strong ties between users. While ESSPs enable greater innovation and efficiency, they also present risks like inappropriate content, inaccurate information, and non-compliance with laws that must be managed through effective policies and education. Overall, social media transforms users from passive consumers to active producers and allows both imposed structure and emergent structure to facilitate collaboration at work.

How Young is Too Young?
The document discusses the effects of social media and excessive technology use on youth. It notes that while the minimum age for social media accounts is 13, many children under 13 are using social media. Excessive social media use can result in lack of social skills, deteriorating family relationships, internet addiction causing sleep deprivation and academic problems, and susceptibility to issues like cyberbullying, sexting, and "Facebook depression." The document examines ongoing research on these impacts and perspectives from parents, teachers and students on youth technology use.

The document discusses the importance of taking breaks from the digital world and excessive technology use. It notes that the average American spends 8 hours per day staring at screens. Excessive technology use is linked to loneliness, low moods, and loss of real-life friends. While technology has benefits, finding a proper balance is important. The document provides strategies for limiting technology overuse like using social media to facilitate real-life interactions rather than replace them. There are also benefits to escaping the digital world such as increased energy, happiness, productivity, meaningful social connections, and physical health. Ultimately, balancing technology usage reaps important rewards.
Finding Focus In A 24-7 Networked Environment
While nonprofit associations have to focus on results, it seems that the demands of managing an organization never stop. Your members communicate with each other around the clock, and you feel you have to stay on top of all those conversations in addition to everything else on your list. Can you find time for Twitter, Facebook, and all the rest while still getting your work done? Seasoned association executives and staff are having a challenging time shifting from the industrial age mindset of logic, certainty and confined restraints to the network gestalt of interaction, self-organization, unlimited potential and unpredictability. The secret to success is having a strategy of doing the right things rather than doing things right and embracing a networked mindset. Knowing your goal will help you to channel your energies on what’s most important to your industry, your organization, and your members.
The Rise of Wearable Technology
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.

Film project
Snapchat has become one of the most popular social media apps since its creation in 2011. Users can send photos, videos, and messages to friends and share publicly on their stories. This high level of engagement has made Snapchat very profitable for advertising. Advertisers utilize sponsored lenses, geofilters, and ads within the discover section and live stories to reach Snapchat's large audience. These forms of immersive advertising have proven highly effective at driving brand awareness and sales.
Smartphones Flipbook

Social Media and HR Sept 2013
This document discusses how social media is impacting HR and employee engagement. It notes that social media has disrupted traditional ways of communicating and connecting as it allows everyone to have a voice and connect anywhere through mobile technology. This raises risks for companies in terms of inappropriate employee posts or backlash against companies, but also opportunities to leverage social media to enhance employer branding, recruiting, communication, collaboration and feedback. The document advocates that HR play a role in educating employees and developing guidelines around social media use, and that companies reinvent their workplaces and practices to better engage digital native employees and meet new social expectations around connectivity and flexibility.
Prodcut placement, shameless marketing? pdf
The document discusses deep product placement and subliminal advertising in media. It notes that while some forms of product placement could negatively influence society, other methods are deceptive and manipulate consumers without their consent. The document also outlines strategies used in product placement, including product endorsement, direct placement, and subliminal messaging. It raises ethical questions around subliminal advertising and proposes solutions like more regulated laws around consumer consent.
Out-Smarted!
This document discusses how smart devices and apps share users' personal information without their full awareness or consent. It notes that 90% of cell phone users have their phone with them frequently and over 30% never turn it off. When apps request location access, 73% of the time the app shares this information with advertising networks. Pre-installed apps and those that request microphone access share even more data. The document warns that as wearable devices become more common, transmitting health and activity information to linked phones, the risks of data interception increase without new security policies. It cautions that as smart technology expands into homes, privacy breaches may also grow.
Why social media matters
The document discusses the rise of social media and its implications for businesses. It defines social media as content created by people to share and interact with each other. With the growth of social platforms, conversations that were once private are now public, allowing everyone to engage from anywhere in real-time. However, some voices have more social influence than others. The document argues that businesses need to actively monitor social media for brand conversations and address customer experiences through tools like RightNow's Cloud Monitor to better engage with customers.
Mobile apps—solution or distraction
This document discusses both the benefits and drawbacks of mobile apps and smartphone usage. It notes that while smartphones provide convenience and connectivity, they can also be distracting and even addictive. Heavy smartphone use is linked to decreased attention spans and increased stress. The document also explores how smartphone usage varies between generations, with both youth and elderly adopting smartphones but sometimes facing difficulties. Overall, it examines the complex relationship people have with their mobile devices.
Networked Individualism
The document discusses how emerging technologies like broadband internet, social networks, and mobile devices are shifting society from an institution-centered model to a model of "networked individualism" where people connect across institutional boundaries using their smartphones. While these connections can help strengthen relationships, there is also a risk of isolation if online connections replace real-world bonds. Whether social networking leads to greater connection or isolation depends on how people choose to use these technologies.
Social Media : a Dream or a Nightmare
This document discusses how social media has become deeply embedded in our daily lives and influenced society in many ways. It notes that there are over 1.65 billion monthly active Facebook users and 3.17 billion internet users, many of whom are active on social media. While social media allows people to connect with others and share aspects of their lives, it can also be distracting and negatively impact productivity, concentration, and deep reading. Additionally, overuse of social media has been linked to increased feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and depression in some users. However, social media also provides benefits like helping people research companies and brands, with 77% of LinkedIn users saying it helped their careers. In the end, the document questions whether

The document discusses both the positive and negative effects of using big data analytics in marketing. It notes that while analytics can provide useful insights, it can also threaten consumer privacy when excessive personal data is collected without consent. The document also examines how analytics may negatively impact industries like reading, where constant monitoring could undermine the solitary reading experience and incentivize certain writing styles over others. Overall, the document suggests analytics should be implemented carefully and not violate consumer privacy.

The Digital Divide Seniors Face
The document discusses the digital divide faced by seniors aged 65 and older. As technology advances rapidly, seniors are struggling to access and use digital devices. A divide is being created as seniors feel disconnected from the modern world that is constantly using technology. While internet usage among seniors has increased in the last 15 years, many still only use it for basic functions like email and do not see the relevance of technology for their lives. Barriers include cognitive decline, physical impairments, and a negative attitude toward technology. For technology to be embraced by seniors, it needs to become more user-friendly for an aging population.

A Certain Amount of Distractions Are Necessary in the Workplace - GennGlobal
This document discusses how a certain amount of distractions in the workplace, such as watching sports, can be beneficial. It notes that research suggests short breaks from work can improve productivity. Major sporting events like the World Cup, March Madness, and the Super Bowl are estimated to cost billions in lost productivity as employees follow the games. However, short-term distractions are healthy and help prevent burnout, with sports fandom in particular allowing coworkers to bond over shared interests. While distractions have costs, limited and predictable breaks can boost morale and teamwork in the long run.
Co workers are greatest workplace distraction
According to a survey of 600 employees in India, co-workers are the greatest distraction at work. The survey found that a third of employees said that co-workers distract them the most. The survey was conducted by TimesJobs and provided details about workplace distractions and how to contact the CEO of the consulting firm that analyzed the results.

The document discusses the issue of workplace distractions and how to create a healthier and more productive work environment. It notes that on average, workers are interrupted every 3 minutes, costing businesses thousands per employee annually in lost productivity. Distractions come both from external sources like emails and messages, as well as internal factors like mobile phone and social media designs that hijack our dopamine reward system. A distracted workplace has negative impacts on employee mental, emotional, and physical health. In order to address this, workplaces need to reduce external distractions and empower workers internally by reassessing what is desired from knowledge workers and establishing ideal conditions to maximize productivity and well-being. Taking a mindful tech approach and keeping focus on human values can
Recognizing and preventing distractions in the workplace
This document identifies four principal areas of office distraction - people, things, sights, and environment. It then provides recommendations on how to deal with each type of distraction, such as using noise-canceling headphones to block out chatty coworkers, dedicating time each week to organizing digital files and emails to reduce clutter, and setting boundaries with coworkers to protect focus time. Environmental factors like lighting, temperature and indoor air quality are also addressed with suggestions to improve conditions for focus and productivity.
How To Handle Distractions In The Workplace - GennGlobal
Emails, phone calls, meetings, and environments can all be sources of distraction in the workplace. To manage email and phone call distractions, set aside specific times each day to respond instead of constantly checking. For meetings, organize your schedule so they are back-to-back in blocks instead of scattered throughout the day. You can also control your environment's lighting, heating, and noise levels to optimize it for productivity. Finally, be aware of what personally distracts you, such as social media or websites, and use tools like a Pomodoro timer to stay focused.

Digital distractions in the workplace
Distractions in the workplace are nothing new, but technology has made them much worse. This presentation looks at the causes of workplace distractions, and offers several strategies for dealing them, both for individuals, and for organizations. Information overload and context switching are identified as two key problems that must be dealt with. Since organizations have invested heavily in collaboration tools, workers are faced with a coterie of products that don't work together well. The result is a day spent toggling between multiple applications to complete basic business tasks. Case in point: the New York Times found that workers typically change windows 37 times an hour. But how do you solve this problem with out having to change a worker's daily habits or behavior? One solution is social email - a way to reduce context switching by aggregating existing collaboration tools in the one window that is open all day at work - email. Single context, one window...but no 'pane.'

Similar to Social Media and the Workplace
Social media it's business
Social media has become an essential tool in the workplace that allows for collaboration among colleagues and access to experts. Most employed Americans use online tools and social media for both work and personal purposes. Many companies now use social media platforms like LinkedIn to find and recruit potential candidates. Social media has infiltrated all aspects of business and work and is no longer just used for socialization.
Social media it's business
Social media has become an essential tool in the workplace that enables collaboration among colleagues. 96% of employed Americans use online tools and social media for both work and personal purposes. Many employers now use social media platforms like LinkedIn to find and recruit potential candidates, with 56% of companies employing this strategy. As a result, establishing an online presence, personal brand and transparency has become key for professional networking and career success in today's job market.
Social Media: The Career Deal-Breaker
Employee turnover is costly for organizations, with costs of replacing employees ranging from 20% of salary for lower-paid workers to over 200% of salary for senior executives. As a result, employers are justified in thoroughly researching candidates online via social media to avoid poor hiring decisions. However, using social media for hiring practices is also criticized for potentially violating individuals' privacy and risking disadvantaging those without strong digital literacy. Further, one ill-advised social media post could end someone's career due to internet shaming for perceived norm violations within online communities.

Before the Interview
The document discusses how social media has become an important part of the hiring process. Employers are increasingly researching candidates' online profiles and presence before interviews to screen them and assess their fit for roles. Having visible, professional social media profiles on sites like LinkedIn is now viewed as essential for candidates, as many recruiters and hiring managers use these profiles to evaluate candidates and some have even hired candidates based solely on their online presence and without a traditional interview. The document warns that anything unprofessional found online through these background checks can now negatively impact candidates' employability.
Relationships In A Digital World
In a remarkably short period of time, internet and mobile technology have become integrated into everyday life for billions of people worldwide. With over 2 billion internet users and 73% of online adults using social media, digital interaction is now a major part of romantic relationships. However, too much focus on technology and social media can threaten relationships by drawing people away from real interactions and creating expectations that are difficult to meet. The digital footprint of relationships can also make breakups more difficult and allow past partners to remain connected. While technology connects people, it also risks pushing them apart if not balanced with real social interaction.

A short presentation created for FILM315. Think you’re great at multitasking? You might want to think again, and evaluate where your priorities lie compared to the hierarchy of digital distractions.
Enhance Learning with Social Media
Social media learning involves using web and mobile technologies to transform communication into an interactive dialogue. It moves away from traditional command and control styles of learning toward supporting and encouraging collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and knowledge sharing. The modern learner wants immediate access to solutions, learns best from others in their trusted network, and strives for continuous improvement and autonomy in their learning.
The Influence of Social Media on our Ever-Evolving Society
Social media has significantly changed society since the creation of the first social networking site in 1999. It has become integrated into everyday life for many people, especially youth, and has transformed communication, marketing, news, and politics. However, social media also enables cyberbullying and reduces privacy while potentially negatively impacting social skills and increasing addiction to devices. The influence of social media on society is a ongoing debate as both benefits and drawbacks exist.

This document discusses addiction to cell phones and constant connectivity. It notes that while phones allow constant connection, overuse can lead to addiction with detrimental effects. Statistics show that many people fear being separated from their phone and some experience anxiety without it. This phenomenon is known as nomophobia, or the fear of being without a mobile device. Nomophobia can escalate into problems similar to drug and alcohol addictions, causing stress, anxiety and feelings of isolation when away from one's phone. As phone usage increases rapidly, cell phone addiction is expected to become an even larger problem in the future.
Social Media Marketing - Flipbook
This document discusses the importance of incorporating social media into business plans and marketing strategies. It notes that social media allows businesses to maximize their audience since information is accessible anytime and anywhere via phones and tablets. One social media post can potentially reach tens to hundreds of people. The document recommends that businesses use visual content like videos and images, as visual content is processed faster by the brain than text and can increase conversions. It also advises that social media marketing requires patience as results are not seen overnight.

Social Media from the Inside Out
This document discusses best practices for social media use within organizations. It recommends assessing corporate culture to understand collaboration, priorities, and management support. Effective social media practices include understanding the brand promise, monitoring conversations, and adapting strategies. Organizations should plan for engagement, encourage knowledge sharing between departments, and develop social media policies. Overall, the key is moving beyond one-way communication to build relationships through agile, two-way conversations.

Snapchat and other apps enable ephemeral communication, where messages and photos exist temporarily and are not permanently stored. While this was not previously possible online, apps like Snapchat have opened up ephemeral messaging. However, images sent through Snapchat are not always impermanent, as they can be captured through screenshots or other means before being deleted. Ephemeral communication also enables increased sexting. Still, encouraging more ephemeral data could reduce digital storage needs and energy usage, since less information would need to be permanently stored online.
Social Media The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
The document discusses both the positive and negative aspects of social media use. It notes that while social media is a useful tool, irresponsible use can enable online shaming, cyberbullying, and spread of misinformation. It provides examples like a woman who lost her job due to an insensitive tweet, and a case of cyberbullying that led to suicide. The document advocates thinking before posting and verifying information to minimize social media's downsides.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/how-axelera-ai-uses-digital-compute-in-memory-to-deliver-fast-and-energy-efficient-computer-vision-a-presentation-from-axelera-ai/
Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.JavaLand 2024: Application Development Green Masterplan

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
