Digital Cultures by https://padlet.com/B060754/m58nx8mtomdf en-us 2018-03-23 14:44:53 UTC 2026-03-17 05:35:26 UTC hello@padlet.com B060754 https://padlet.com/B060754/m58nx8mtomdf/wish/245503681 With the notion of phubbing being more apparent in today's society, the argument that people are being more digitally active than 'physically' active is circulating. With so many people joining online communities many are prioritising communication digitally as it is seen as easier, quicker and more efficient to communicate. However, this in turn means that when in contact with people in person, we are becoming more likely to have  conversations with our digital communities at the same time as  our non digital ones. This is leading to the ideas of neglect in our relationships and many are seeing the digital world dominating all realms of communications.

With more and more people choosing to communicate on a digital basis as well as having all kinds of information available at their finger tips, we as social beings now are moving into a digitally social era. We share our lives with one another on an online basis more so now than on an offline basis.]]> 2018-03-23 17:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/B060754/m58nx8mtomdf/wish/245574619 We are looking at ourselves as individuals for analysis. Constantly updating our social media accounts with news, pictures and looking at our friends news online is having an effect on how we want others to see us. Constantly comparing what we see with what we post, social media is almost becoming a competition between individuals to rate and like each others posts.

Arguably, many individuals use social media as a gateway to new connections but it is argued here that those who suffer with mental instabilities simply watch their news feed and monitor other members of society and their lives having an end result of feeling even more isolated in themselves.

With big brands now using the idea of a Selfie to promote their mechanise it goes unsaid how much this notion has taken over social media. in one way, selfies are problematical in the way we view ourselves and others, adding to the idea of photo shopping and body image due to their filters and altering options given. Selfies are now seen everywhere: commercials, social media and advertising. They have become an ingrained part of society. However, is it making our society more self obsessed?

With many campaigns noting that the Selfie is so big on social media they use it as a means to promote charities, awareness and to get a message across with many having fundraising success. What was so special about the 'No Makeup Selfie' campaign was that it was representing real, natural beauty not altered or photoshopped, which is what many see the selfie as being used for.

We are no longer in a world where our social communities are restricted to who we have access to. Social media and apps like Facetime have enabled societies to grow. However, this also makes it increasingly easy for society to connect as well as disconnect with one another.

This highlights the taking over of social media to some respect as instead of going out to meet others, it can be done on a mobile device. Moreover, the sense of surveillance and security arises as with apps like this, people can see where you are, what you're posting and at time have access to your facebook which may hold even more information. For many finding a significant other is so important B060754 https://padlet.com/B060754/m58nx8mtomdf/wish/254192670 2018-04-22 22:16:18 UTC https://padlet.com/B060754/m58nx8mtomdf/wish/254192670 Are we as safe online as we think?
