The Flipside of Social Networking (Facebook, MySpace, Multiply, Friend

[Indigoblue]

Some people in social media feel that they are perfect, which is not.

 

Kung maka bash kala mo wala nang bukas.

 

Kung makahirit ng hindi maganda kala mo sino magaling.

 

Pag dinalaw mo profile nya makikita mo pix ng family nya. Hindi ba siya mahiya sa anak nya?

Cyber bullying. Dahil may anonymity sa internet, pwede ka gumawa ng masama sa ibang tao. May ginawa ka lang na mali, sobrang daming tao ang mag-persecute sa inyo. Minsan matatawa ka pa yung iba wala namang alam, comment nang comment. Halimbawa sa Top Gear Philippines, yung iba doon nagmamarunong, wala namang sasakyan para may maibahagi na impormasyon o karanasan.

Pero on the positive side, maganda kasi yung idea ng information dissemination. Mas accessible ang balita at kaganapan. Mas madali din makipag-usap sa mga kaibigan at kakilala mo. Kaso kapag ginamit sa mali ito, sobrang laking backlash sa society natin.

Sangayon din ako sa claim sa taas na dapat "educated" muna ang mga gagamit nito. Dapat nila malaman ang "dos and don'ts" sa social media at mga etiquette sa web.

Tashfeen Malik, the woman involved in this week's Southern California mass shooting, has another claim to notoriety: She's the latest in a growing line of extremists and disturbed killers who have used social media to punctuate their horrific violence.

 

Given the pervasiveness of social media, it's perhaps no surprise that some criminals have posted evidence of their own acts. Authorities say teenagers in Illinois, Michigan and California have posted clips of themselves committing rape and assault — apparently to brag to their friends. Law enforcement officials say Florida resident Derek Medina posted a photo of his wife's body on Facebook with a note accusing her of abusing him.

It might make you spend more money.

New research suggests that heavy social media use might be correlated to lower self-control, which marketing experts believe could lead to higher spending. "Ultimately, the way you counteract this is by raising your self-awareness,” Columbia University Professor Keith Wilcox told TODAY. “It's not about don't spend time on Facebook, but just be aware of what it might be doing to you."

It alters your appetite.

According to Women's Health, "food porn" photos can activate the brain's reward center and compel viewers to overeat; one study suggests that even looking at food images after a meal can trigger hunger.

It messes with your ability to think independently.

One study from HP Labs found that people were more open to peer pressure within social networks. Subjects were more likely to change their minds about "liking" certain things (one cute baby over another, for instance) if enough time had passed http://www.rd.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/5-things-better-for-you-than-social-media-honest-decisions-sl.jpgAdam Fagen via Flickrand they could see that the other side was even moderately popular.

It hurts your self-esteem.

When two German universities joined forces to investigate social networking, researchers discovered that one in three people surveyed felt worse ("lonely, frustrated or angry") after spending time on Facebook, often due to perceived inadequacies when comparing themselves to friends.

It can "butcher" real-life conversations.

Susan Greenfield of Oxford University hascompared online chats to buying prepackaged meat at a store: "Perhaps future generations will recoil with similar horror at the messiness, unpredictability and immediate personal involvement of a three-dimensional, real-time interaction."

I don't get it. I scratch my head when i would see moms playing games on facebook. I rarely post mine and only communicate with love ones. It's like next stupid thing next to television. It doesn't make us wiser...it just makes us...dumb...

Your mood is affected by what your Facebook friends post

 

Lurking or feeling ostracized on Facebook hurts your self esteem

SNS ... helps, informs, educates, connects BUT also destroys, manipulates others, maligns and even hurts people.

 

Yes, there are BOTH the POSITIVE & NEGATIVE aspects of these SNS.

 

It's really about HOW we will use it.

 

For the young ... HELP them KNOW how to use it WISELY. Not just for games ...

 

Have seen some FB stories of people helping others via FB posts/appeals.

 

Admittedly, this is TIME CONSUMING ... yes, coz you WANT/NEED to CONNECT with others. People of the SAME interests ... hence, we are here on MTC!

 

But STILL go out there in the REAL world & CONNECT with the people around you ... at home, work/school or the social circles you happen to be a part of.

 

I know MANY "groups" ... from the SAME location/area, or the "Coffee Addicts", etc here who meet OFFLINE & just "hang out together".

 

I do think that there are MORE positive things that SNS has given us ...

 

The BAD is just a percentage.

 

Let's USE it for MORE good!

Did you know that you can be sued for defamation over Facebook comments? If you post an angry remark directed at an important person, even if you are not sued, you would get into serious trouble with him later. While most of us won’t be so foolish to make a defamatory remark, we are also being judged on how we present ourselves on social media.

 

Social recruitment firm Jobvite did a survey and found out that an overwhelming 92 per cent of recruiters use social networking sites such as vetting their candidates. Imagine if there were two similar candidates vying for a single teaching vacancy. One is a Facebook angel who spends her weekend caring for the disadvantaged children. The other candidate prefers to go drinking with her friends. Both of them post their photos regularly on Facebook. Who do you think is more likely to get the job?

 

What if I were to tell you that you can have your cake and eat it too? In other words, what if you can stay connected with your friends with images and say whatever you want to say without fear of retribution?

You can't even have a good conversation without group of friends without someone checking facebook every now and then. Even sa inuman, may mag lalabas ng phone.

 

Funny thing is that when you're planning to meet and chatting on messenger everyone seems excited but when you're face to face already, it's like you don't know how to socialize anymore.

 

Advantage for me is that when I'm bored I get to see people arguing on facebook and it's hella funny.

Lacking social skills

[black cat]

Puro negative naman (flipside nga kse eh hehe). I am no longer addicted to fb unlike before. Know what, I think the pros naman still outweighs the cons kaya nga dumadami sila. Yes, it's an effective way to reconnect and keep in touch. Lalo na at busy tayo lahat at hellish lagi ang traffic.. at least updated ka pa din what's goin on with your loved ones and friends.

All activities should be chronicled via social network

[camus]

To those who like to post on social media, just remember 2 things:

 

1. Once you post, it's there FOREVER. Even if you delete it, someone may have already downloaded it. So someone out there has it and he can repost it again and again. So careful what you post.

 

2. The information you post may be used against you. You are giving your friends details about your life. But once it becomes public, your enemies can see it too. Even if your network is private, secrets have a way of escaping, the more people you tell the greater the risk. Again, be careful what you post.

[RED2018]

false sense of connection and decreased productivity

 

Social networking sites encourage people to be more public about their personal lives. Because intimate details of our lives can be posted so easily, users are prone to bypass the filters they might normally employ when talking about their private lives.

Facebook is showing it's true colours with its share price plunging. Zuckerberg and co. is looking mighty desperate in suckering people in with this fear mongering trite.

Social network sites like Facebook makes iyou think that you're missing out on a lot of things. You see your friends going abroad, eating out every other day, going out with friends, buying expensive bags and shoes, getting a new car, getting married etc.

I agree. Nagiging materialistic at pinagmumulan ng inggit. Iisipin mo na kawawa ka compared sa friends mo na mayayaman.
