EMPOWERMENT TECHNOLOGIES: ICT FOR PROFESSIONAL TRACKS
SOCIAL MEDIASocial media are computer-
mediated tools that allow people, companies and other organizations to create, share, or exchange information, career interests, ideas, and pictures/videos in virtual communities and networks.
Social media refers to the means of interactions among people in which they create, share, and/or exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks. The Office of Communications and Marketing manages the main Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Vimeo accounts.
SOCIAL NETWORKING SERVICEA social networking service is
a platform to build social networks or social relations among people who share interests, activities, backgrounds or real-life connections.
A social network service consists of a representation of each user (often a profile), his or her social links, and a variety of additional services.
REASONS WHY STUDENTS LOVE SOCIALIZING…
• Social networks provide them the freedom to do whatever they want — to upload what they want and talk to whom they want.• To make new friends and comment on the lives of different people…
• To create other online identities that the real world does not allow.• To create a digital image of
their actions through such a spontaneous medium.
DARKER SIDE OF SOCIALIZING
• Identity crisis constant social networking producesAs said by Professor S. Shyam
Sunder, a renowned researcher at Penn State, “The types of actions users take and the kinds of information they are adding to their profiles are a reflection of their identities.”
• Students have become prone to frequent fluctuations in mood and self-control. If one of a student’s friends posted
about his or her present relationship with someone, then other friends are pressed to do the same thing. Actions that attract more public attention hold more value, even despite some of them being immoral or illegal.
• Students became entrapped by the ploys of social networking.Students neglect their studies
by spending time on social networking websites rather than studying or interacting with people in person.
• Getting too involved in social media can lead to an addiction that inculcates bad habits.• The system generates a competition to make as many new friends as possible and the so-called “social quotient” of a person is decided by how many friends they have and not on how good-natured and congenial the person really is.
Often, students who are not old enough to accurately analyze the world “like” or comment on social or political issues, and this leads sometimes to serious controversies.
