POE:Q.6
The positive warnings on Potential Impacts of Digital Technology to all students in society.
Creating meaningful relationships is often about sharing our lives with
others, and technology can allow us to do so through photos, videos,
text, and music. Some relationships thou can be harmful and often leave us in danger it is therefore advised to take caution when in use of social networks
Society is likely on the cusp of a social revolution, during which it
will be important to redefine socially appropriate and acceptable
behaviors (with regard to digital or virtual interaction). We are at a
point in history where very few people have given critical thought to
new social realities created by technology and what those realities and how to keep up with it.
''Perhaps overcoming a sense of isolation is one of the greatest features
of online communities and virtual worlds. Someone might feel like an
outcast in her own community or family but might find someone online
with similar hobbies, pursuits, and interests. Consider someone who
enjoys photography as a serious leisure pursuit. This person would be
able to share that passion with people all over the world by using the
Internet and its powerful tools (e-mail, video chat, discussion boards,
online video, family Web sites). However, simply sharing common
interests and pursuits with people through technology does not
necessarily have a positive impact on social skills and social
development.''
