-Check
out Communications Theory
- Go
back to My Athens, and check which info sources you have searched and saved.
Title: The psychological Edge of Social
Media
Intro : What will you be discussing? What
examples will you use? What theories and information sources will you refer to
?
I will be discussing how social media has
been affecting society psychologically and in their communications skills. I
will be using three video examples to base my discussion around, and I will
also consider ways in which people get classified in their online
communications, for example, “lurkers”.
Example 1 - An i-phone advert , which
frames technology being power and social media at the touch of a button and
being at the touch of a button is a good thing rather than a negative thing.
Secondly, a music video by Ryan Lewis;
looking at technology and branding, and how people get addicted to their
phones, and how that isolates them and stops them from talking to each other or
communicating directly.
Thirdly, a rap video posted to YouTube,
which is called “Can We Auto-Correct Humanity?, which also looks at how
technology isn’t necessarily all positive, for example it says that the average
child’s attention span now is less than a goldfish.
Add something about theory here, or get a
quote.
Para 1 – I- phone video
Para 2 – Music Video
Para 3 – Can we Auto correct Humanity?
Para 4- Lurkers.
•
Online lurkers are people who
anonymously observed the online community and social media’s without actively
contributing to it.
•
They make up to a lot of
today’s social media community.
•
Constant lurking can lead to
loneliness and extreme apathy and distantness.
•
Lurking can benefit to
learning or E-learning.
•
Overly Lurking can lead to
desensitization or emotional distancing.
•
Lurking is a type of free
riding to take from a community and not contribute.
•
Lurking online can also be
positive for finding information fast and to understand the world quick by
seeing what’s for example trending on twitter.
