Social Media And Technology In 1984 By George Orwell

3.3 Impact on Youth Social media tools are woven into many young people 's day-to-day lives. Young people are in conversation and communication with their peer groups using a wide variety of different media and media devices every day. 10 years ago, young people may have only been in touch with friends and peer-groups when hanging out at school, or meeting up in town. Now young people can be touch through instant messaging, social networks, online games and many other tools. Young people are growing up in a constantly connected society[2].This SNSs impact on youth in both positively and negatively.Social Media might be sometimes seemed like just a new set of cool tools for involving youngpeople but the emergence of social media potentially has a bigger impact than that.

Humanity is in a perpetual state of trying to make living in the world an easier place. In just a few seconds, people can access information at their disposal, instead of having to look through different books to find what you need. But the question arises; does this boundless place for information honestly make us more informed than before we had the internet? Joe Keohane, the author of the article “How Facts Backfire,” is a political journalist who has also written articles on technology and culture. He decided to write this article during the midterm election to help educate voters that they need to be better informed about a topic before they make a decision.

I chose this article because all decision making comes from the mind. Friendship is a decision making process too. It is basically telling that social media will growth and take a main role in human lives. For example, people will not like to have a verbal communication because they will forget how to express them selves in a daily basis, they will appeal on the social media. They will not ask

There are several ways that this has been demonstrated. Smartphones such as the iphone have FaceTime which allows people to video chat each other and have face to face conversations. Other networks that use the same theme are Skype, Oovoo or House party. Spiegel online says “From deaf people who previously had little use for mobile phones to grandparents wanting to connect with their grandchildren, video calls are changing our lives” (Chase_Buckle). Without easy access from the smartphone apps that include video chat it would still be very hard for people to have “face to face” conversations without traveling far distances.

The technology has advanced in many ways, however it has also stalled. It has split off from the technology in today’s society in many ways. In this essay I will discuss the differences between Oceania’s technology and today’s technology, and the similarities they share. The technology in the novel 1984 and the technology today have advanced in many similar ways. For example both have advanced their technology to spy on the citizens better.

In the novel, 1984 by George Orwell, we can clearly see its significance. It impacts its readers and makes them think about the world they currently live in. Orwell ties together an appallingly accurate prediction of the future which serves as a warning to others. Orwell predicts many things such as the rise of surveillance, technology and the Internet being used as a means of control, perpetual war and of course, the effects of fake news, brainwashing and propaganda. Overall, the book is a warning on the fact that if we let things get too far, we may find it to be irreversible and find ourselves in a hopeless situation with no end in sight.

Chapter 1 Background of the Study Introduction In the contemporary world, most people use social media for news, entertainment, to seek information and to be updated every day. Nowadays, the use of social media has greatly changed how people interact with other people. Today, most people only consider the benefits that the social media brought to the people without thinking about the possible negative implications of using it. Youth today are very inclined in using social media. Most of the students tend to believe that social media helps them a lot in terms of learning, studying, researching and finding information.

The part I feel that I am lacking on is growing the social media pages. It is really hard to get people to like your Facebook page or follow the Instagram. My goal for next week is to look more into how to grow your businesses social media. People are viewing our content which is good, I think I need to be more creative and really take the time to figure out how to grow and make post more creative. People tell me it takes some time but I feel that I need to really do some

It is starting to control what we are thinking and our actions. Our knowledge of social media is way over our heads. People in today’s society think that they are so smart and know everything about the internet and what goes on in the social media world, but in reality, we have no clue, we know a very small piece of that huge social media picture. Finally, education and social media have been going back and forth for a few years. There have been results that show that social media help and hinder education and learning.

Although social media is supposed to help connect people from all around the world, ironically, it has the potential to make us less social. For a social media to be a truly effective communication tool, all users hold an obligation to be honest, accurate, and not allow online networking to replace human contact completely. In the workplace for instance, the use of electronic communication has overtaken face-to-face and voice-to-voice communication widely (Tardanico, 2012). People nowadays would prefer to use instant messaging or other social media rather than hanging out and talk with someone. The growing usage of social networking sites easily influence people to have their own social media sites and making them addicted to online interactions which, when used excessively, will degrade the quality of face to face interactions.

Recalling the roles learned in Broadcast for New Media, I was prepared to act as Technical Director and even instruct new volunteers how to perform their roles as camera operators. Instructing them on the rule of thirds, broadcasting terminology, and what is expected during production. Lesser Roles In addition to these two main roles, I helped Weston Monitor Grand’s social media accounts and use SEO tactics to increase traffic. In this area, Dr. Reamer’s Survey of New Media gave a lot of peripheral information, but I had not had any hands-on experience. Weston showed me their account managers and explained how he uses the data to make decision about which posts to boost and when.

Today’s youth has become centralized in what is happening online that they do not take the time to see what is occurring outside of their social networks. In this essay, I will provide Rushkoff’s argument and also present how boyd clarifies Rushkoff’s interpretation of what is occurring with today’s youth with in the medium of social media. In his documentary, “Generation Like”, Douglas Rushkoff demonstrates to his audience that the younger generations have become enveloped in social media, causing them to become obsessed with what others think about them. He introduces the views to a group of teenagers who’s goals are to help a friend to pick a profile picture that capture the true image of the young teen. The group spend quite a while to find the perfect picture that best defined their friend, ultimately it was not enough for them until they knew how may “likes” the photograph had gotten.
