'''Currently struggling to come up with more info to put in the 'google effects' part of the internal effects section. Can anyone help?''' Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 13:32, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

I'll try and research some stuff on this just now and will let you know if I find anything useful. Kaitlineaston (discuss • contribs) 16:30, 7 March 2017 (UTC) There was an article published in Science called "Searching for the Google Effect on peoples memory" This looks at 4 studies in relation to the google affect but you have to pay to access it. I'm going to try and see if I can find out the main findings of the study through news articles. Kaitlineaston (discuss • contribs) 16:41, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * this is the issue I've been having - there's hardly any academic material on it and the stuff I have found the general public doesn't have access to! So annoying. Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 18:09, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * I've managed to get the results of the study so I'll post them on the "google effects" section.
 * Kaitlineaston (discuss • contribs) 18:15, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * thank you so much!! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 18:44, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * you're welcome! I'ts not much but at least it's a bit of academic research.
 * Kaitlineaston (discuss • contribs) 19:44, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * no it's perfect!! Thank you again :) Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 20:03, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

how did you link between sections in the introduction because I feel like that could be useful to link the main concepts section to the start of each section we have for easy access to the section headings SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 12:07, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey, you just copy and paste this "[https: //en.wikibooks.org/wiki/ Living _in_a_Connected_World/ Persistent_Connectivity_and_the_Fear_of_Missing_Out#" (but without the spaces, I just did that so you can see the code!) and then beside the hashtag write whatever section your linking to, so for main concepts it would be "Main_Concepts Main Concepts" then close it with a ']'! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 12:26, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

'''Hi everyone, would I be able to have a list of all the key concepts that you have used throughout your sections in order for me to make a start on the main concepts bit?? Just thought it would be easier this way rather than trying to search through everyones work for the main concepts. Thanks you''' SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 20:28, 6 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Good idea!! Here are the things I used as subheadings/focused on for Internal Effects (and of course the last one which you added!):
 * Web 2.0
 * Our Mini-Performances
 * The Tethered Self
 * Moral Panics
 * The Google Effect
 * Identity and the Internet

 * : Hi guys, Lia the intruction looks good, I've added in a little summary of the section I have done into the 'main concepts' area. Do you think that might be better in the introduction? Suzanne, feel free to edit what I have written if you want to add it into the section you are working on. Rachel Howie (discuss • contribs) 10:13, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

hey I am liking what you have written for the main concepts bit and think maybe we should start with the summary as that's what the chapter is supposed to be on and then continue with everyone else's parts. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 11:13, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * hey, I'm not actually sure! I can't decide where the best place to put summaries would be. I would probably say the intro but whatever everyone else is happy with! What do you think?
 * what did you have in mind for the main concepts bit? Was it just to have a list, or do you think summaries should go in there? Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 10:43, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

I was thinking maybe summaries would be good in this one so maybe it would be easier if everyone just did summaries of what they talked about and we can add it in individually then I can read over it and make any changes if necessary?? SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 11:11, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * hey, okay that sounds good! So do you just want us to write a summary then add it in? Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 11:29, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Have a read of what I've done so far and change and add anything you think is necessary. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 11:36, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Sorry guys I never noticed these comments before. Yeh that sounds great, the section is looking fab. Let me know if anything else needs done. Rachel Howie (discuss • contribs) 15:31, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

'''The chapter is looking great guys - we're almost there! *breath of relief*. Just wanted to ask before I go searching, has anyone by chance come across on any good material that mentions online dating? I'd like to write a bit about it in social uses but looking for sources!''' Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 17:35, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Not found anything on online dating so far but if I come across anything I will let you know SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 20:28, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

'''Hi, I've tried to do the interwiki links but it keeps coming up red instead of blue. Does anyone know how to do this because its really confusing me''' SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 14:18, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I haven't figured it out either but I'll have a look and let you know if I find anything! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 17:35, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

I figured out how to do it, you have to put [ [ w: then whatever the page is called ] ] and it then links it to Wikipedia. I think its because it's not technically the same site. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 11:51, 7 March 2017 (UTC)



Do you still want a list of the main concepts in my section or would it be easier if i just wrote up a summary? If so, are you planning to have everyones summary in the main concepts page and then put them into subheadings? Kaitlineaston (discuss • contribs) 12:55, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Also, I haven't found anything on online dating but I'll have a look and let you know! Are you planning to look at dating apps such as tinder? Kaitlineaston (discuss • contribs) 12:57, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * thank you! And yep that's the plan - I'm just about to start writing on it just now. Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 15:11, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

'''Hi, I was just wondering if we should all come together and have a think about what to put in the introduction? I have started working on a quick summary of the section I am doing- The fear of missing out' and wondered if anyone else had any ideas of how we can bring it all together for a good introduction. Rachel Howie (discuss • contribs) 13:18, 6 March 2017 (UTC)'''
 * hey, I don't think it has to be too detailed or anything. Probably just similar to an essay intro? We could all just add a little bit into it pertaining to the section we have written? Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 17:35, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Following my comment from earlier, I have added a small amount into the intro section. Please feel free to change/edit this, it was just to get something in there! We could all maybe add in a very brief synopsis of our sections too. Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 22:03, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Hey guys, just a quick note to remind everyone to put their signature after they've finished commenting, a few times some of us have had trouble replying and tagging people, Thanks! Helizacarr (discuss • contribs) 15:44, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

'''Hi everyone. I just wanted to say that we really need to start adding more stuff to the chapter. I know it seems daunting but we cannot leave this until the last minute. I don't want to be bossy/annoying, I'm just worried that so far myself and are (I believe?) the only ones who have added stuff into the chapter. The discussion is great, but if we just keep adding little bits to the chapter when we have an idea (even just a sentence!) it will come together so much quicker. We have less than a week now, so it's really important.''' Hopefully you all understand me saying this!! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 08:56, 2 March 2017 (UTC)



Hi Lia, Just read your comment and wanted to let you know I plan on editing the chapter tonight. I've done all of my research but I literally haven't had a minute to edit as I've been so busy. Kaitlineaston (discuss • contribs) 18:53, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

'''Hi everyone! I have just made a survey on why people use social media over on Survey Monkey and I was wondering if you could all share it on your Facebooks so we can get as many responses as possible!

Hi guys, These few weeks are going to fly in, so I think it'd be a great idea to get started with coming up with ideas. I noticed that by looking at the previous wikibooks from this modules that most chapters have a lot of subtitles/topics. So I think a good starting point would be to come up with these key points we want to talk about. I think a section on the development of the internet may be good? We can talk about how it started and then how it escalated into facebook, snapchat, instagram etc that drive the "always on culture". From there we could go on to talk about social media sites and perhaps have a section on that and how these sites cause us to have a fear of missing out? We can talk about Goffman's idea of masks too and how we use that to fit in with our peers, perhaps a sub-title of fitting in ? These are just some ideas, feel free to knock them back/change them! I was thinking something like 5 key topic areas and then we could have sub-titles within them. What do you guys think? Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 11:59, 21 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Those are good ideas! My idea was an evolution of social media into what it is used for today, so I like that we're on the same track with that! And the masks idea is really good too. I think each     doing a topic and then giving commentary on each other's topics makes the most sense so its concise but also works well together. Or maybe like each group does a couple topics and then we work on the sub  topics separately? Let me know what you guys think! Charkleske (discuss • contribs) 11:37, 26 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi Lia, I would love to prepare a bit of background on social media and the always on culture I will have a look at this today I think if we start to develop our main sections and keep adding things to it. In regards to your point Charkleske on what the internet is used for today, as a business student I think I can offer some commercial input to that topic if that would be ok? I have learned a lot about the use of the internet and social media in marketing and selling products. So our main titles would be: "The Development of the Internet" "Current uses for the Internet" "Always on Culture" "Goffman's Masks". Is there anymore that we should add? Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 08:49, 27 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Those sound good to me Justgabrielle, I would be interested in working on the "always on culture" section if that works for everyone! Along with anyone else who's interested of course. Does anyone know how to add pictures and links? Charkleske (discuss • contribs) 14:13, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Hey, I have done a bit of reading from "alone together: why we expect more from technology and less from each other" and I have found a few points that I think are quite interesting. I would like to draw on the authors idea that "mobile technology has made us 'pausable.' Our face to face conversations are routinely interrupted by incoming calls and text messages." I think this point could be used within the always on section as it shows that our real life interactions have been molded around the ways in which we now use technology. In this book she also emphasises the speed that the uprising of the use of technology became part of everyone's way of life and how that impacted the ways in which we interact. I also picked up on the term "moraroium" which I believe is a term from Erik Erikson and from what I have read he is a psychosocialist? And the term psychosocial moratorium is something to do with having an identity crisis in the final stages of adolescence. I am still a bit confused by the term so if anyone can help me understand it or find any academic source which helps explain then I would be very grateful (I tried to look on google scholar but couldn't find anything. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 14:31, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi all, I am working on a piece for "The Current Uses of the Internet" and I have put under two subheadings, "Business Uses" and "Social Uses" (if anyone has any more current uses to add please feel free). I have currently written a lot on the business uses of the internet and have found an interesting graph to put in alongside the article. The graph is the percentage of organisations that use social media in their marketing activities. I have put some key benefits and some disadvantages of social media which I have taken from my own knowledge but I am not sure if that is ok or if I should try to find some academics behind it? I also found this page which will help us with formatting the page such as adding images and links and things so feel free to have a look if you are finding it difficult adding things to the page! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial/Formatting Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 23:37, 27 February 2017 (UTC)


 * SuzanneClark22 I think the "pausable" idea is perfect for "always on". Maybe we could do subsections like internal effects and external effects? Like how persistent connectivity affects us personally and how it reflects in our lives or something like that? And Justgabrielle I think its fine to take info from your own knowledge but maybe find some sort of factual info to just back it up. Thank you for the formatting link! Charkleske (discuss • contribs) 09:49, 28 February 2017 (UTC)


 * I think your idea to do the internal and external effects is a good idea. Perhaps we can have a heading that is something like "the changes in our behaviour due to technology"? then have subheadings that are internal and external? SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 11:25, 28 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey all, everything so far sounds great! I also really like the internal and external effects idea. I think the best thing to do is probably just start writing, then we can each go in and edit/add to things as we go if we feel the need to? I'd quite like to start writing on the changes in interactions due to the internet section, as I've done a bunch of research on that.  Also I think we could probably fit the internal/external effects as subheadings under this section and we can all contribute to those as we all seem interested in this.  Is that okay with everyone? Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 11:39, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, should we try and organize the discussion page a bit, like maybe have some headings etc just so we don't get confused? I can see it becoming really bulky and hard to read! edit: I've added some general headings and tried to sort out the replies etc a little. Hope this is okay and feel free to change it!! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 11:46, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

hey guys, I asked a question on the tearoom page and thought I would share the question and answer with you.

Hey, I was wondering how to the referencing on Wikibooks? Do you have to include in text references including the chapter and page number from the source that you got the information from or is it as simple as adding a hyperlink to your referencing section?

Thanks SuzanneClark22 (talk) 14:40, 27 February 2017 (UTC) Yes, SuzanneClark22, you should. Apart from a source which is only on-line, the URL is one of the least important parts of a reference, being nothing more than a courtesy to a reader to make it easy for them to find. The important part of the reference is the bibliographic information which will let a reader in principle find the original hard copy: author, title, publisher, date etc. --ColinFine (talk) 20:44, 27 February 2017 (UTC) SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 11:21, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for sharing!! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 12:12, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi guys, I was thinking that we should have a subheading dedicated to 'the fear of missing out' so we can go into it in more detail and really explain the concepts related to this. I'm keen to work on this sub chapter and will probably start writing stuff up after I've done a bit more detailed research. I know this is what the full chapter will be on but I think it will be good to be able to focus on this point in a sub chapter. What do you all think? Kaitlineaston (discuss • contribs) 12:25, 28 February 2017 (UTC)


 * I agree that we need to clarify what we mean by the 'fear of missing out' so a section dedicated to this alone might be a good idea.
 * I also think it might be useful if we all maybe write our names and usernames under each heading that we are going to do some work on in order to make sure we have all our basis covered and so we know who to communicate with for each topic.

Hi all! Suzie I found a basic website that describes a lot of the work of Erik Erikson (http://www.simplypsychology.org/Erik-Erikson.html), its hard to find some academic books on his work that we have access to which is really annoying. The article goes through Eriksons Pshycosocial Moratorium research which includes various stages of development. I don't know if this will help in your research on him but some stages that the article describes could be useful in some sections of our chapter.

In regards to the current uses of social media section that I am working on I have 4 subtitle, " Business uses", "Social uses", Career development uses" and in relation to todays lecture topic about surveillance I was thinking of adding a section on "surveillance uses" and read more into the work of Kennedy H who was quoted in the lecture. What do you think about this idea??? Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 12:51, 28 February 2017 (UTC)


 * that title works perfectly! I think it's less broad this way Charkleske (discuss • contribs) 14:19, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * ALso, I was thinking that same thing about trying to relate it more to fear of missing out so I think having just a section pertaining to that is a great solution! Charkleske (discuss • contribs) 14:19, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello - I'm working on the changes in interactions due to technology section and I was thinking that what Greg was talking about in the lecture today re 'the tethered self' was really relevant to this section but I know it will be primarily talked about in the always on culture section. So I was thinking it may work quite nicely to have an introduction to this concept in changes in interactions and then it can be taken further in the always on section, what do you think? Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 14:40, 28 February 2017 (UTC)


 * I think that's a great idea, better to explain a term/quote before going into further detail on it. Courtney 1994 (discuss • contribs) 16:12, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi all, I'm working on the changes to interactions due to technology section, but in it I'm mentioning theories/concepts from other parts of our chapter, i.e. the always on culture section. Does anyone know what the protocol is for referencing these? Or is it just "see 'Always-On Culture'"? It would be great if we could somehow have a link to take the reader to that part of the page, but not sure if this is possible... Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 16:20, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

I have added some more stuff to the internal effects section, feel free to have a read and make any edits you see fit! I have also put in the results of our survey to the social uses part, so again feel free to look at these and make any comments under them that you like. I'm going to analyse them later on, but would be great to get other opinions too! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 12:40, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

The Development of the Internet


I was wondering if it ok for you if we split this section is decades?--Sarahsarah22 (discuss • contribs) 09:55, 2 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Good idea! That will work well. Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 10:27, 2 March 2017 (UTC)


 * I like your idea to split this section into decades, I had a look online and found this blog which has a good timeline of the internet hat you could use in your decade sections. Could possibly work as a guideline if you wanted? http://cs205sp14.wikidot.com/introduction-to-the-internet Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 14:52, 2 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Great Idea! Thank you.--Sarahsarah22 (discuss • contribs) 15:28, 3 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey Sarah, your section on "development of the internet" looks great but just wondering if you had any references to put in about where you got the information from just so we can back everything up? I also noticed there is a lot of wee arrows in your text and I was wondering what they were for or if they are meant to be something else? Other that than looking great! Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 13:56, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * This section is looking really good, and I noticed you have managed to put pictures in. I have tried many ways of doing this and followed the wiki help page on this discussion page but whenever I try and do it it comes up in red with the description and doesn't show the picture. I was wondering if you knew why this was? Also it says you can use the ones that are on wiki already but how do you find them? Feel like my section really needs pictures you know Ailsaharv (discuss • contribs) 18:43, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi, you need to take a picture from Wikipedia Commons :

- select the name of the files - go on your writing section - click on the image icon (Embedded file) - paste your name's file If you can't do it, give me more information about your image and I'll insert it--Sarahsarah22 (discuss • contribs) 23:15, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot!, I'll have another go at it! Hopefully I'll get it to work Ailsaharv (discuss • contribs) 09:50, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Current Uses of the Internet
said she was working on this one as well. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 12:44, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

That is the first section of "The Current Uses of the Internet" up on the chapter, I have just became aware that you cannot add pictures to the text if its not already on wikipedia so I wasn't able to use the graph that I had found however I have referenced the source which I hope is ok!Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 14:24, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

I have found a study done called, "Why people use social media: a uses and gratifications approach" that I think will aid us in the social uses aspect of this section. I think the Social Uses found by the study will be good to build our reasoning on and could possibly be used as further subheadings within the section? http://www.emeraldinsight.com/doi/abs/10.1108/QMR-06-2013-0041


 * Hey, this looks great! I agree it will be really useful and am happy to use it as further subheadings. I've started to write a few things to add to the business uses section (not much, just a little knowledge I have from my dads web design company like we discussed earlier) so I will put them in tomorrow hopefully!!


 * Sounds great! I am currently working on the social uses and then might possibly try the Social influencer part of the "Career Development uses" as I feel I know quite a lot about it but currently looking for some research on it as its quite a current topic I am doubtful I will find anything fully academic on it! Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 20:43, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Hey Lia, I have put a wee bit on the chapter as a sort of into to the social uses part, I am struggling with coming up with what to put under each heading so please feel free to add some things to it as I am working on it! Do you think it would be ok to use the quote on surveillance that was used in the lecture as I have read some of the rest of the book and can't really find anything with the same effect? Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 16:44, 1 March 2017 (UTC)


 * It looks great!! I will add in a few things just now/tonight. Yeah I'm sure that quote would be fine, it does seem to be the most fitting! I was wondering, do you think it would be worth possibly making a survey and sharing it on FB asking what people use social media for? If it doesn't get many responses we don't have to include it, but it's just an idea! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 17:25, 1 March 2017 (UTC)


 * yes i was thinking that myself!! I was trying to come up with some questions yesterday:


 * How often do you use social media?
 * What platform do you use most?
 * Why do you use social media? (could add some of the reasons from the research paper I posted)

Can you think of any more? Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 17:32, 1 March 2017 (UTC)


 * I think they're perfect, we can just keep it short and sweet! We can do it on Survey monkey then share it around FB as much as we can, if that's good with you? Also, I'd like to do a small section on online dating within the social uses sub-heading. Are you okay with that? Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 19:38, 1 March 2017 (UTC)


 * yeah thats sounds great! Do you want to make it or shall I? Yeah I never though of online dating thats a good one! I'm sure you could find a lot on it since its so popular nowadays! Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 22:35, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Business Uses In this section I have detailed the amount of organisations that use social media in their marketing strategies and how they use it to interact with customers. Along side this I have a diagram but I am unsure how to add pictures still. Can anyone help with this? Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 13:02, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

I think this resource I have used has some interesting quotes that you may want to use for this section. "Mobile identity: Youth, Identity and mobile communication" by Gitte Stald. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 13:37, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for this it looks like it will go along with our survey results well as it takes about youth culture and since youths were a large part of our results I think we can link this nicely! Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 16:30, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Need help with this part of the social uses, Ive just read it over and I'm not sure how relevant it is or if its alright to put in. Do you think it makes sense?

Many celebrities and online bloggers use their social platforms in order to draw their followers attention towards certain issues, most recently the Harry Potter star, Emma Watson received backlash on a recent photoshoot and her self proclaimed “feminist” status was questioned by many people online. Emma Watson then responded to the backlash with the statement, “Feminism is not a stick with which to beat other women with”, this is a key example of the power of opinions on social media.

Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 14:48, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * hey, I think it is relevant! You could maybe just say something before it like "a key group who uses social media for social purposes (i.e. engagement with their fans) are celebrities, and they tend to have huge audiences. However there can be repercussions of this as things can often be misinterpreted online and this causes issues, adding more to the list of dangers that we can encounter when using these online platforms" or something along those lines! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 15:04, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes that's a great linking sentence! Just what I needed! Mind if I use it? Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 15:17, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * of course not! Go ahead :) Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 15:41, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

I've added a little bit on online dating into the social uses part - feel free to edit it if you see fit! It's not very long but thought it was a good thing to mention. Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 16:00, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Always on Culture
'''Hi guys,I just wanted to leave a quick note as I finish. I've done a whole chunk on Always-On Culture tonight and (hopefully) it makes sense! I just wanted to let you know that I will be working from 9-5:30 tomorrow, so won't be able to communicate at all heading towards the deadline, just in case you think I'm ignoring the discussion. Like I say I've done as much as I can at this point but also just edit and change as you feel! Thanks!'''Helizacarr (discuss • contribs) 23:01, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

I hope I'm using these heading correctly, I've just went ahead and started kind of planning and putting forward some ideas. I think that we could talk about the notion of availability well in this chapter, however this could also be relevant to "The Growth of Instant Messaging Apps"? Another idea here could be the fact that technologies are ubiquitous, and have become nearly invisible to us given their incredible presence. Turkle talks about being "tethered" to the technologies we consume which I think is a major point when it comes to always-on culture. Helizacarr (discuss • contribs) 14:23, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

I think you bring up a good point with technology specifically and it's availability to the general public. In fact as far as subheadings go I would say this is a crucial one to have. It's quite important to go a little more in depth than just referring to things as 'always-on' as well, what does it mean to be always on culture and how is technology on it - for example we know that technology generally is always on culture as it moves with the times, progresses. Courtney 1994 (discuss • contribs) 15:40, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Danah Boyd in The Social Media Reader highlights this point about 'always-on' quite well, in a way explaining that it is just natural way of life now to always be on. Whether it is social media or just generally some form of technology. In her words 'online is always around the corner'. I feel like a short introduction to what it means when referring to an 'Always on Culture'. Courtney 1994 (discuss • contribs) 15:51, 28 February 2017 (UTC)


 * The subheading is definitely a great idea, and I agree that the access to technology is an important point to highlight. I just started reading the Danah Boyd source you mentioned and there definitely are some important points to the 'always on' issue you mention. I am doing further reading as well and will update with anything else that will backup these points further! Helizacarr (discuss • contribs) 12:14, 1 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi Heather I found this article from the telegraph that i feel would be a good source to draw ideas from for this section. Its by a man called Nicholas Carr who also wrote a book called "The Shallows, asks if the Internet is changing the way we think" which could also be useful to look up. However, the article basically discusses how being constantly distracted by the internet affects our sustainability of concentration (basically making us stupid as the title suggests) and he uses some good quotes from Eric Kandel, "Only when we pay close attention to a new piece of information are we able to associate it “meaningfully and systematically with knowledge already well established in memory”" as well as this one which I found very interesting by a roman philosopher, "To be everywhere is to be nowhere". I think we could build on these ideas nicely as i feel they relate a lot to "always on culture". What do you think? Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 22:44, 28 February 2017 (UTC)


 * This is great thanks Gabrielle, I've just read the article and there are a lot of things we could take from this. The quotes you mention as well are very helpful. One thing I did notice when reading the article was a related article to the side titled "Are Twitter and Facebook Affecting How We Think?" which raises some interesting ideas as well. This might also be effective for the idea of internal effects? Helizacarr (discuss • contribs) 12:26, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Hey guys! I've started posting to the book some of the ideas I have already have formulated - my thoughts are to go with heading of availablity with subheadings permanent connectivity, notion of availability. I was thinking of doing a section on online disinhibition as it seemed relevant but could also be to other headings here, so just let me know if you guys are happy with me using this! Helizacarr (discuss • contribs) 17:11, 3 March 2017 (UTC)


 * It looks great, I really like what you've written so far The chapter is really coming together now, which is fab! I'm happy with the online disinhibition section, good idea! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 18:40, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

What you've written is great so far, really well written and good references to the readings in my opinion. I've just started editing and adding in a few extra points to the book so feel free to fiddle with anything if anyone feels it is not relevant! Courtney 1994 (discuss • contribs) 19:01, 6 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey, thanks for that! Yeah it's really coming together I think, I still have a chunk to post tonight but yeah of course, if you want to edit/add anything at all go ahead! Helizacarr (discuss • contribs) 18:46, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Just a quick note to keep people up-to-date with what I'm planning to do! As I mentioned above, I'm going to be writing about online disinhibition, bringing the issue of trolling into the mix as a relevant point, and probably the most famous example of this. I have Gackenbach and von Stackleberg, and Suler as a reference so far. Helizacarr (discuss • contribs) 19:44, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * UPDATE TO THE ABOVE - I have worked through the Always-On culture tonight and got (what I think is) quite a lot of what I wanted to focus on down. I've done a section on online disinhibition as I said above, and also added a bit to expand on privacy issues. I'm currently just working on adding a few references here and there and focusing on Turkle's The Tethered Self a bit more as I feel there are quite relevant points made which I haven't mentioned so far! Helizacarr (discuss • contribs) 22:29, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Persistent Connectivity in relation to Privacy

Hey guys, I'm from a group doing the Privacy in the Digital Age chapter, and I'm writing about how privacy links with persistent connectivity and FOMO. I've already posted something similar to this for the people doing the FOMO topic, and I was wondering if you thought it would be a good idea to connect our chapters together by providing a link? E.g. To learn more about how "always on" culture affects privacy, click here, or something similar? If I find any interesting information about persistent connectivity in my research I will also post it here. Thanks guys! Cathym97 (discuss • contribs) 10:39, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi! I've been working quite a bit on the persistent connectivity area and I think this is a great idea! It would definitely help bring the book together as a whole. I'm going to be writing tonight so I'll have a read over your topic so far and find a point we make in relation to this to make the link! Helizacarr (discuss • contribs) 18:50, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Planning
Hey Suzanne, just thought since we're working on this section together we could float some ideas around! I know we had talked earlier about the idea of internal and external effects, so I was thinking we should make these subheadings and each write about one (I really don't mind which one I write about!). I know there's already a development of the internet section, but I was wondering if we should still briefly mention the expansion of social media sites - especially the growth of instant messaging apps - in fact we could always have a subheading called that? (the growth of instant messaging apps) or similar? We could also perhaps talk about the divide in attitudes about technology, i.e. some think it's a great thing and others are totally against it, and how this subsequently affects interactions? Let me know your thoughts!! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 14:04, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Hey, yeah this sounds good. I think I found a bit in one of the readings about the expansion of social media sites and how rapidly they have grown over the past few decades. If we talk about the different thoughts on technology we have to be careful when discussing the "generation gap" as it is difficult to define what this actually is so therefore we would have to come up with a way of discussing this by referring to more than just age as a contending factor. I like all the ideas you have had. With the reading that I have done so far I would be quite happy to do the external factors that are affected by the use of the internet where I would discuss things such as the "demeaned" social interactions that we now have, and perhaps our lack of concentration?? Let me know if you think this is a good idea. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 12:23, 2 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Edit; I have added some ideas for subheadings, feel free to change or remove them! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 14:09, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I'm Fiona - I'm very curious about this topic, I think it concerns a lot of topics so it'll be a challenge to keeps those topics relevant to Persistent Connectivity and the Fear of Missing Out. I think a culture of oversharing online has developed, but a carefully and conscientiously decided oversharing as people are so exact about how they will be seen online, or are they not exacting enough? Do people use the internet, assuming it's private and the information is exclusive to them and their friends, not understanding how easily accessible everything is? Are people more judgmental, more so of themselves or other people? I feel like self image is important to this topic, because how you see yourself and how you predict the social consequences of your interactions may influence how you use the technology. FionaThacker (discuss • contribs) 15:44, 28 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Was reading your work for this section of the Wikibook and found it brilliant. I read Erikson's stages of psychosocial development and found it fascinating. I do think the psychology that develops in adolescence as a result of 'Persistent Connectivity and the Fear of Missing Out' will be interesting, I'll look into case studies to see if anything more recent has been done in relation to this. FionaThacker (discuss • contribs) 15:54, 28 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Found a study on CNN from the University of Michigan on how using Facebook can make you sad. Another study from Reuters on Facebook Envy. FionaThacker (discuss • contribs) 16:00, 28 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Found a study from the Clute Institute on Social Media and FOMO suggesting that it does affect decision making and behavior but further research should be conducted, which would be a worthwhile point to make in the Wikibook. May also be worthwhile linking to completed studies to back-up our statements. FionaThacker (discuss • contribs) 16:05, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Hey, I think I've been posting my comments in the wrong section for this subtopic. From my comments above, I've developed an interest in the psychological affects and how that would impact social interactions - sadness and jealously in relation to your friends and their perceived lives on social media. Also found a study about how FOMO does appear to impact decision making and behavior, but the study does conclude further research into this area is needed. FionaThacker (discuss • contribs) 16:17, 28 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey, don't worry about posting your comments in the other section!! Also thanks for sharing those studies, they're really useful! Psychological effects would probably go under the internal effects subheading, so feel free to start editing this! I have some stuff to add into that sub-heading also.  I definitely think that it's really interesting to consider whether we're more judgemental or not and I agree that self-image is really important.  I wonder if we should also have a sub-heading for this?  We could have 'internal effects and within that self image as a further sub-heading? Just an idea!  Also, I'm probably being really silly - but what does FOMO stand for? Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 19:39, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Edit: I moved your comments into this section, hope that's okay!! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 19:43, 28 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey. I think having self image as a subtopic within 'Internal' might be useful, because I do feel we might find a lot to write on that subject. FOMO stands for 'Fear of Missing Out' - I only learned this while I was reading about it. FionaThacker (discuss • contribs) 10:22, 1 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey guys, I saw that you were talking about doing a heading under Internal effects and found this article from the telegraph called "Are Twitter and Facebook Affecting How We Think?" which might be helpful to you? It talks about whether social media makes us shallower. Helizacarr (discuss • contribs) 12:34, 1 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much!! Definitely going to be using this! Do you remember how we are meant to reference websites on here? I'm a bit useless with referencing hahah. Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 13:05, 1 March 2017 (UTC)


 * I think you would cite it with the website link and the date accessed? I'm not sure 100% though. Helizacarr (discuss • contribs) 13:49, 1 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I'll have around and see if there's a specific type of markup to be used! If not I'll just go with that, that's what I tend to do for normal essays so hopefully it would be okay. Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 14:05, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Hey guys - Just wanted to say I've begun writing on the internal effects section, I haven't added it into the book yet but I will once I have developed it a little more! So far I'm pretty much just exploring primarily how our personalities have changed due to the always on culture etc etc. I've touched a little upon Terry Flew's Web 2.0 concept as well as the tethered self and Goffman's mask - I know there's a whole section on this so it's not detailed at all, just a basic intro! Hope this is all okay, O just wanted to let you know I am working on that so someone else could poss do a little bit on external effects? I'm sure you guys will have lots to add on what I do with the internal effects bit also! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 14:36, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

hey, I like what you've written in the chapter already, it's looking good. I am currently doing some reading in order to comprise the best start to the external factors of the section which I should hopefully have a bit up of by the end of today. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 12:30, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Added some more to the internet effects section this morning - feel free to have a read and let me know what you think! I need to add more into the google effect subheading and the tethered self heading, but I'm getting somewhere (I think!). Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 12:34, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Fear of Missing Out

Courtney 1994 (discuss • contribs) 15:28, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

I haven't gone into depth with planning for this section yet however I would propose that it would be a good idea to perhaps refer to and mention the words and thoughts of Nancy K Baym in the Handbook of New Media as she, through experimentation, has picked up on the topic of identity via the online world. Fear of Missing Out can link well to this as without an online identity one may feel they cannot connect ergo miss out on certain events. However this also relates well to the Interactions and Uses area of this page! Courtney 1994 (discuss • contribs) 16:06, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Yeah that sounds like it could work well! I'm reading through the book just now so will hopefully be able to start forming ideas about it soon. I've also been looking at a couple of articles which discuss theories that try to explain the fear of missing out (FoMo). That sounds really vague but I'll double check the names of everything tomorrow and post them! Kaitlineaston (discuss • contribs) 00:30, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Hey! I was thinking that in this section of the chapter it would be good to mention the self-determination theory. This can relate to the fear of missing out as it focuses on the motivations behind people's decisions, so we can speak about this in regards to why people fear being left out. Kaitlineaston (discuss • contribs) 22:28, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I have been doing some reading which I think could be very useful to use in this section. The article I have read discusses the fear of missing out in relation to the 'psychological needs perspective'. It talks about self determination theory and uses this to provide a deeper understanding of the fear of missing out (FoMO). I have started writing up a draft for the section and would appreciate your thoughts on this. Do you think it would be a good idea to have a section for previous studies and theories on the notion of the fear of missing out? If so, this topic might be a good place to start with that.

The article is called Motivational, emotional, and behavioral correlates of fear of missing out in the journal 'Computers in Human Behaviour'. Rachel Howie (discuss • contribs) 14:45, 4 March 2017 (UTC)



Yeah that's what I planned to talk about today so I'll see if I can add to your content. If we can find a good few studies then it would be good to have a section on this. I'll have a look at the article! Kaitlineaston (discuss • contribs) 18:58, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Yeh that sounds good you will see in the section that I have written that the part about SD theory has a bit of a blank. My plan was to go back to it and add in a but more background information about it but perhaps you would like to write a section on it separately and I could just reference your section? Rachel Howie (discuss • contribs) 21:16, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

I'm currently working on a bit about the history of FoMO so I won't get any content in about the Self-Determination theory tonight. I'm sure I would manage to get it in tomorrow but if you want to start a section on this I could go back later and add stuff in? Kaitlineaston (discuss • contribs) 21:55, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

that sounds like a good plan, I'll update you as I go. Rachel Howie (discuss • contribs) 21:58, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

I found a really useful source in relation to FoMO.

Kaitlineaston (discuss • contribs) 22:02, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, that source has been very useful. I have read over the work that you have done in the section and am really pleased with how it is looking. I like your idea to put in a section for the history of the fear of missing out. Do you have any ideas for that so far? I might have a few myself so we could perhaps try to work on that together. Rachel Howie (discuss • contribs) 17:27, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

I seen that you have added in some references. I was wondering which template you used to do that because the one I have tried to use hasn't worked very well. Thanks Rachel Howie (discuss • contribs) 17:31, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

I've already posted all of the information I have on the history. Just use and put the link you want to reference in the middle. Kaitlineaston (discuss • contribs) 21:49, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Was just thinking that maybe my edit hadn't been approved when you looked at the section, so if you go on and look now I think it should all be available. I've also added in a section about 'The need to belong' and how it relates to FoMO, I'm unsure if you'll be able to view this just now though. I'm also going to try and add some stuff into your section about previous studiesǃ Kaitlineaston (discuss • contribs) 21:49, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

I have just had a look over the information you have added. It looks great so far, you have covered a lot of things and I don't think I have anything different to add so far. I am going to start having a think of a bit of a summary that we can add into the introduction of the whole book. Rachel Howie (discuss • contribs) 13:00, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Here is a quick first draft of a possible summary to go in the introduction section of the book. Would you mind having a look over it and give me some of your thoughts? Feel free to make any changes or suggestions as this is just a very rough draft.

In order to gain an understanding of this topic, it is important to first determine what is meant by 'the fear of missing out (FoMO). This section will look into the history of this concept starting with when it was first introduced. It will discuss some of the previous studies that have been concerned with the fear of missing out including the motivational, emotional, and behavioral correlates of fear of missing out and additionally, the connection between alcohol and FoMO.

Rachel Howie (discuss • contribs) 13:15, 6 March 2017 (UTC)


 * That Intro sounds good to me Rachel, I've been making a few small wee edits here and there within this heading and will likely add a little more to it in the next day too! Courtney 1994 (discuss • contribs) 19:40, 6 March 2017 (UTC)



Yeah that sounds good! If you need any help with anything else let me know :)



Hi Rachel, when I was looking through the chapter I noticed that you had left some dots next to The Self Determination Theory so I've edited it and put some more information about the study in. Hope this has helped! :)

In Relation to Privacy

Hey guys, I'm from a group doing the chapter "Privacy in a Digital Age", and one of my topics is focusing on how the Fear of Missing out relates to privacy. I'm also doing how privacy relates to Technology as an Extension of Self, and I agreed with that group that we could put in a link to eachother's research in our chapters? (e.g, to read more about FOMO & privacy click here) Also if I find any interesting information on FOMO while researching I will post it here for you.

This theory is often referred to as basic need satisfaction and it can be related to the fear of missing out. In order to achieve high need satisfaction, an individual is inclined to use social media persistently as a way of connecting with others.PRZYBYLSKI, A; MURAYAMA, K., DEHAAN, C. R. AND GLADWELL, V (2013=). Motivational, emotional, and behavioral correlates of fear of missing out. This section within the fear of missing out section, is that supposed to be a reference because it needs to be put into footnote format if so?? SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 13:08, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

I never wrote that bit.

sorry Kaitlin, assumed it was you as I thought you were writing this section, do you know who else may have written it because that needs to be sorted because it looks messy. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 10:38, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Others were contributing to this chapter as well. Think it was Rachel but I have already went on to it yesterday and fixed it.

I was also thinking that we should try and add a bit more structure to our discussion page.

Reading/Source Suggestions
Hi guys, so far I have read "Alone Together: why we expect more from technology and less from each other." by Sherry Tuckle and "The social media reader" both of which are in the reading list for this week. I will try and find some more sources that are not on the reading list. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 12:32, 28 February 2017 (UTC) I am also about to look at a recommendation from the end of this weeks lecture: "Infoglut: How Too Much Information Is Changing the Way We Think and Know." I have found an eBook copy of this on google scholar. I think it might go well with the topic of Changes to interactions due to technology. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 12:51, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Following on from Suzanne's comment, we also spoke about Turkle's work which could be really helpful in this context. "The Tethered Self" speaks about the notion of availability which I think is really relevant to the "Always-on" culture chapter. This reading would go hand-in-hand with Boyd's "Participation in the Always-On Culture". Greg spoke about both of these readings at the lecture so it's definitely a good place to start, but I'll be doing more research over the next few days to find some more.

Hi all! I just found this article from The Independent on the theory of The Google Effect which I feel would be useful for the effects of the internet.

 * Another page which shows how to cite websites! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_web Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 14:31, 1 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey Lia, I'm not sure if this is the kind of thing you were looking for but I found this article today while looking for the same kind of markup for the solo wiki exercises. I used the markup on here for my user discussion page and it seems to have worked! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources Helizacarr (discuss • contribs) 23:40, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Not sure if this is irrelevant to many of you but I found it interesting/useful to know. danah boyd's name is actually all lowercase letters. After seeing it in the lecture slides, I thought it had been a typo but after researching it further it seems that that is the way she spells it. Just a note to anyone using her as a reference or mentioning her name! Helizacarr (discuss • contribs) 17:22, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I am part of the Collective Intelligence / Hive Mind group, but I've seen on you wiki book chapter that you have used a table to display information. I was wondering if you could please explain how you have done this? I would like to display some of my information in this way. Thanks Susannamhawes (discuss • contribs) 11:36, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * I think it was that did the section with the table in it so I am sure she will be able to explain it to you. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 11:39, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi it wasn't me that made the tables but I'm sure it was either or  so hopefully they can help you with it! Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 12:59, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi when you are editing a section, there's the bit at the top of the editing text box where it has the bold, italic, underlined signs etc. Beside that there's a bit that looks like: ">advanced  >special characters  >help" if you click on 'advanced', you can see a little table picture/symbol (among other things).  Just click this and it generates a code for you and you just fill this in! Hope this makes sense. Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 13:20, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Hey, just curious because I haven't done this yet - how do you create subheadings/subtopics? I want to create a section called Self Image within Internal Effects FionaThacker (discuss • contribs) 14:09, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * hey, you use equals signs (=)! I normally use 4 for the smaller subheadings. So you just do = = = = Self Image = = = = (but without the spaces!). If you go into edit the internal effects section you'll be able to see how I've done the ones that are there so far! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 15:09, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi! I am trying to figure out how to add a picture, and I noticed you had written about it. So to add a picture we just have to find one on Wikipedia and then is there a link I should copy? Charkleske (discuss • contribs) 15:06, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Helpful quotes
was reading "How too much information is changing the way we think and know" and I came across this quote that I thought might be useful for the business part of the uses of the internet. "Viewed through the lens of market research, platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are much more than sites of networked sociality: they are the world's biggest focus group. Generating more data than any market researcher could ever hope to read and analyse." SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 13:07, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for this. At the bottom of the page you will see that I have made a topic for each subheading just to tidy the page up a bit and separate out the different sections. Hopefully this will be useful for everyone.


 * This is a great quote Suzanne, I think it could be really useful when speaking about the idea of data mining and surveillance. Helizacarr (discuss • contribs) 14:44, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Changes to Interactions due to Technology
Technological innovation has dramatically changed the way humans interact and coexist. From the beginning of the technological age up until present day, human behavior has adapted to live in a world dominated by ever-changing machines. Today, the most obvious example of this is the epidemic of cell phone obsession. Cell phones now hold social media apps, games, pictures, internet browsers, and so on that take an immense amount of time out of the daily lives of users. This technology-focused mindset not only impacts connections with the outside world, but also affects an individual's interaction within themselves.

Internal
Hey Lia, I saw your work on the internal effects section of the chapter and it is looking great! The Telegraph have quite a few articles on this topic which I see you have used one similar to the one I posted which looks great! I like the idea of the "electronic sweet shop", I feel its quite witty and is an easy way of understanding the concept. I also saw that you referenced a book and I was wondering how you did that as I am finding it difficult finding things on the markup page? Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 17:28, 1 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey, glad you liked it!! And I really liked that quote as well. I felt like there was a lot to say about it so I'll probably come back and edit that some more at one point! For referencing a book, you do put in the name and year: I.e. Flew (2008) then next to that you put the code and your reference.  If you go in to edit this/reply to me you'll be able to see the code and you can just copy and paste it and replace with the name of your author/book!

thank you! Justgabrielle (discuss • contribs) 17:44, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

I think in your internal changes section you could also talk about the "mini-performances" that we put on and how we like to display ourselves online and how that may be extremely different to our real life personalities. You could also touch on why people actually choose to publish their photos and posts online? Whether it be for documenting "autobiography" sort of thing, preserving memories "archiving" or reliving the past "nostalgia". Just a few ideas I got while I was looking few previous work. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 13:05, 2 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey, I'm definitely going to do that! Great idea about the photos too, I'll be sure to include that! And if you feel you have more to add just go in and edit what I've done :) Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 10:11, 3 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi again, I've added some more stuff into this section, let me know what you think!! I've dedicated quite a large section on mini-performances and Goffman. I know there's another section on Goffman's mask, but I'm trying to focus more on his sociological viewpoints as I'm a sociology student and we study him in depth and it's really relevant to the argument here I think! I'm also going to do a bit on moral panics as sometimes I think how much our interaction has changed can be exaggerated.  Hope this is okay! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 12:42, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

hey, sounds good. glad you liked the idea! The section is looking really good so far. If I find anything else I'll let you know and go and edit some of the work. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 13:02, 5 March 2017 (UTC)


 * it is looking good isn't it? Super pleased!! I don't think we have a huge amount left to add actually. I still need to add in some things but it's really coming together now which is a relief! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs)

hey, I hope you don't mind but I've added in a section in the internal changes part of this about "identity and the internet" where I have talked about Erik Erikson's identity crisis and the influence of the internet on the ways in which we can play with our identity according to Turkle. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 14:52, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

hey, no I don't mind at all!! It looks great :) Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 17:37, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Found an interesting quote for the Internal section - 'Attention shapes the self, and is in turn shaped by it.' - Csikszentmihalyi, Flow FionaThacker (discuss • contribs) 13:53, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Am I okay to go ahead and create a 'Self Image' subtopic within Internal Effects? Just through the reading I'm finding it interesting, naturally there will be crossovers but I'll link to them where appropriate. FionaThacker (discuss • contribs) 14:07, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * hey, of course - go ahead! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 12:32, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

External
I am going to connect the external factors that have changed over the past years due to the use of technology with the fear of missing out but then also touch on the fact that because we have this fear of missing out so therefore look online are we then missing out in real life? A good example of this, I think, is the way that we film and photograph concerts now, so are we really missing out on the factors of real life. There's a quote from one of the lectures that says "if photos are taken for the purpose of being displayed, does that render the experiences and the social relationships presented more real?" which I think comes from Mendelson and Papachisti but I will have to double check that fact.

I will also touch on the fact that we now have reduced expectations of social interactions. One of the main things I think has changed since the introduction of specifically mobile technology. I will also look into the thoughts that technology "is an extension of the real self" which I think creates a good argument to the seemingly negative view of new media and technology.

I may also touch on the subject of fidelity throughout it and how we can misinterpret what people are saying in low fidelity situations such as texting because you don't have key indicators such as tone of voice.

Also the fact that we are now "pausable" due to the mass use of mobile technology.

SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 12:52, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

"reformed, not enhanced or restricted social interactions but changes in the things that we expect" - Need to find the source of this but I think this is relevant to the topic I am covering.

Update: its from a book called the networked self. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 13:06, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

I have started on the external section within this using some quotes and information from "Mobile identity: Youth, Identity and mobile communication" by Gitte Stald. I obviously still have a lot to do but I thought I'd try and make a start. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 14:26, 2 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey, the external section looks great so far! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 10:12, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks let me know if you come across anything when you're looking at resources for your part of this. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 13:28, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

hey, could you possibly check over the bit I have written on Williams and cultural determinism because I think I have worded it wrong and should be talking about how society influences technology not the other way round which I think I am doing. Thank you, just don't want to write the wrong thing. SuzanneClark22 (discuss • contribs) 13:46, 5 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello, I've just looked over it and it looks good to me! I don't think you've worded it wrong at all :) I wouldn't really know what to add to it to be honest so I wouldn't worry! Liaa13 (discuss • contribs) 19:19, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
