Notas do Editor
- QUESTIONS How many of you check your phone before you get out of bed in the morning? How many of you use social media in the washroom? (What’s your bathroom app) Does social media impact your ability to actually enjoy quality time with your family & friends? Raise hand if you consider yourself dependant on social media? (Ask person with hand raised why - comment on answer and relate to yourself) Does the little red notification that’s gone unchecked make you uncomfortable???

- Self Concept: What Social Media Makes You Think FOMO Definition: Fear of Missing Out a (new?) form of social anxiety fear of missing an opportunity, engagement, or connection, which leads to constantly checking to see if these opportunities/engagements/connections indeed exist The fear is especially associated with modern technologies such as mobile phones and social networking services such as Facebook and Twitter, which provide constant opportunity for comparison of one's status. results in anxiety when you aren’t online, when you aren’t sure what you could be missing feeling and questioning whether you are missing what others are doing FOMO exists even when we are actually engaged in something - the fear that you’re missing out on something ELSE Study by mylife.com in 2013: more than half of social networkers are experiencing FOMO http://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/article/2014/07/29/fomo-history/ http://mashable.com/2013/07/09/fear-of-missing-out/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_of_missing_out http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2011/04/14/fomo-addiction-the-fear-of-missing-out/ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/02/fomo-fear-of-missing-out_n_3685195.html
- Highlight Reel See people’s best Everyone is going on vacations - my life is shit How much is what you DO online influenced by what you SEE online?
- Bullying and online harassment through every medium (from text to Reddit, Twitter to Facebook, spreading photos, trolling to mass campaigns of harassment) These types of engagements online can have serious effects on ones’ self confidence, personal safety, and mental state Bullying An aspect that can’t be ignored when it comes to mental health is the effect of bullying and harassment that takes place online, which is unfortunately rampant in many places for many people a debate for another day is how these technologies/platforms heighten these types of interactions (ex. anonymity, hiding behind a screen, instant shareability, ganging up) but the point today is that these types of engagements online can have serious effects on ones’ self confidence, personal safety, and mental state Many times we think of children and youth when it comes to talking about bullying online, which is indeed a huge problem, but it’s also happening everywhere to people of all ages and abilities notable examples: gaming industry is a hot-topic of late (women in gaming under constant harassment and threats purely for being women who are speaking about the sexism they experience in the industry) online bullying from just one person to mass campaigns of harassment leading to serious depression, suicide (Rehtaeh Parsons, Amanda Cox only two examples) what we say and do online is not separate from our actions and thoughts offline Cyber stalking – cyber stalking can be described as the sending of messages to frighten or threaten someone. The person receiving these messages begins to worry about their safety and general well being. Degradation/humiliation – bullies will use cyber bullying to spread rumours and hearsay with the purpose of damaging the victim’s reputation to ensure that they are shunned. Harassing – harassing is the sending of insulting, threatening and harassing messages via the internet or cell phones. These messages are however sent persistently and tirelessly. Impersonating – impersonation is the act of taking on an identity that is false for the purpose of tormenting a person and damaging their reputation. Impersonation can also be acted out by pretending to be the victim also by creating a false identity or profile. Flaming – this is a very hostile and rude form of abuse where the bully uses vulgar and abusive language with the intention of starting a fight with the victim. Text messaging – most bullies will use text messaging to torment another teenager or pre-teen. They do this by enlisting the help of other bullies and together they keep sending endless text messages to their victim’s phone. The purpose of all this is to run up the victim’s phone bill which will eventually get them into serious trouble. Password theft – some bullies will do everything possible to gain the passwords of a teenager illegally. After gaining these passwords, the bully enters the victim’s sites and locks them out. In some cases, the bully will use these sites to bully others. Web site creating – bullies will create websites and pages and load them with images, statements and insulting remarks for the sole purpose of tormenting and humiliating a person. Use of Photos and images – bullies will post embarrassing photos of their victims all over the internet to torment and humiliate them. In most cases, these photos and images are fake and just altered to portray the victim. We all have heard of stories where teenagers have been tricked into sending their naked photos to a stranger they met online only for the stranger to post them all over the internet just to humiliate and torture the victim emotionally. PC attacks – this is the sending of Trojan horses, viruses, worms, spyware and so on to another person’s computer. With our youth becoming more knowledgeable on computer technology, pc attacks have become extremely easy to employ. Proxy attacks
- Social Currency Posting FOR likes and comment External validation “Our desire to disclose personal information about ourselves to others is ingrained in the human condition -- it's not just a product of social media. It's so ingrained, in fact, that people would actually forgo money to talk about themselves instead of discussing other people or answering fact questions. While this may not be a phenomenon specific to social media, social media does supply the platform to self-disclose to the masses and receive immediate feedback.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/07/social-media-mental-health_n_5268108.html
- QUESTIONS FOR THE AUDIENCE from http://www.seomworld.com/2013/09/scary-but-true-facts-on-social-media.html#.VF0kwFPF_a4 Are your friends referring to you by your Twitter, Instagram or Facebook Handle? Did it happen that you started to mix daily life etiquette and rules with the ones you use on social media? Have you ever deleted a post, because it didn't get as much likes as the other ones? Do you plan your day according to how much battery you have on your phone? Did it happen that people know generally more about your life from what you do online, that what they actually seen you doing? Do your friends and family get concerned when you don't post anything for 2 days? Do you have a problem sleeping because you have to do a midnight check up on the 25 apps that you might get an update from? Does a notification bring you more happiness in the morning, than an actual hug or fresh coffee on your balcony. Do you feel lost and incomplete if your S4 Samsung or Iphone is not around? It impresses you to see people travel around with no GPS or Google Maps. You check your Facebook or twitter around 20 times a day, and you possible checked it once while reading this article. When going out on a weekend road-trip, your first concern is signal and internet connection, rather than survival kits. When you arrive early to something or find yourself alone in public, is your first instinct to pull out your phone?
- While you sleep, your brain continues to register and process sounds on a basic level. Noise can jostle your slumber—causing you to wake, move, shift between stages of sleep, or experience a change in heart rate and blood pressure—so briefly that you don't remember the next morning. Whether sounds disturb your sleep depends on factors such as the stage of sleep you're in, the time of night, and even your feelings about the sounds themselves.

By texting study participants five times a day over two weeks about how they felt after using Facebook and how satisfied they were with their lives after the two-week period, their study found that Facebook negatively impacted them with each variable. The more people used Facebook "the worse they felt" and "the more their life satisfaction levels declined over time." -> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/07/social-media-mental-health_n_5268108.html affects on communication skills, social isolation - all this loops and feeds into anxiety http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/19/social-media-makes-you-socially-awkward_n_5512749.html related to addiction (the biological, physical effects it’s having) and related to Sleep
