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

[mamangkantutero]

isang ayoko sa social media ay ang pagkalat ng hoax AND yung dami ng mga tao na naniniwalang totoo lahat yun. tapos kapag sinabi mong hindi totoo or kung may pinakita kang proof na hoax nga yun, nagdadahilan pa.

 

Example:

1. nagpost ng "Facebook will impose a $5.95 membership fee" na hoax

2. i comment politely and say, "it's not true, sabi rin ng Facebook mismo na hindi totoong maniningil sila ng membership fee"

3. rereplyan ako ng "thanks! pero buti na rin yung sigurado, kaya ko pinost"

 

minsan gusto kong paluhurin sa isang bilaong munggo yung kausap ko na ganun magdahilan

Some would say that most people using these social networking sites need to be educated first.. yes i agree...

 

but

 

we should also consider these people's "happiness".. how stupid and annoying they may be...

[ladyboy]

tsismis at payabangan lang yan

[HappyEnding69]

Time consuming.

kukuyugin ka kapag nagpakita ka ng kahit katiting na kapintasan o pagkakamali

[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.

proliferation of self-confessed 'experts' and 'moralists'

[Spades]

not everything in the internet is true... before re posting anything.... confirm the source and verify the true story...

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...

emotional blackmail

Your mood is affected by what your Facebook friends post

 

Lurking or feeling ostracized on Facebook hurts your self esteem
