While looking into the skill and wisdom gap which is a current issue that relates to the fast pass we are created in tech, I began to think about social media and wisdom. The idea that now we have genrations which are being brought up on social media and there is little out there to tell us about the affects. I want to research into this area more in-depth maybe set myself out as an experiment by recording my usage etc of social media. I think that this is an important matter as technology is becoming such a big part of our lives.
Inspiration
A big part of my inspiration for this topic was a 2 series of podcasts by ted radio hour.
- Screen time - Part 1 - its normal for su to always be Glued to our screens. so how are they changing us, and how will they shape our future? This hour TED speakers explore our ambivalent relationships with our screens. / This part looks into
- Screen time - Part 2 - When we go online, we present a digital version of ourselves. How we do transform when we interact inside our screens? In this episode, TED speaker explore the expanding role of our "second selves". / This part looks into how our online personas can actually take over our real life personas, For there example they speak to a lady who made a rasisic joke on twitter which then ruined her life.
Ideas
Quick thoughts I had on the subject
- Was looking into my own social media consumption, how it makes me feel etc.
- Isocial media nightmares examples I had of this was my flatmate had posted a photo of her and her new bf on facebook but forgot she was still logged into her ex boyfriends account.
- Rosie was also telling me about one time where a o2 employee posted a picture of her boobs on her facebook while trying to send himself the image.
- Is tech destorying empathy - http://www.livescience.com/51392-will-tech-bring-humanity-together-or-tear-it-apart.html
