The disadvantages in not being able to reach as many individuals due to lack of internet or lack of email accessibility, provides major negative impacts for research. b. Facebook: Since it is social media, people get on there for other reasons. The people that fill out the Facebook surveys actually know the products, they aren’t just completing for the free stuff, and the information doesn’t get lost in spam emails. Some disadvantages of surveys are the broad consumer base risk. There are no new consumers as part of the survey.
Michael J. Bugeja, director of the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication at Iowa State University and author of the article “Facing the Facebook” in The Chronicle of Higher Education, argues how informational technology has become a distraction rather than an educational tool in the classroom. Although, he acknowledges that social networks such as Facebook are “fascinating” innovative forms of social interaction; he argues that they have affected all levels of academe (Bugeja 1). In his article, Bugeja points out how students' addiction with technology is reflected in their enrollment in institutions. He says that students instead of basing their decision on the reputation of the institution; they rely their decision on the level of technology these institutions offer them. In addition, the author also mentions that technology has created a distraction to students.
Alicia Zapata English 126 October 31, 2012 In the essay, “Are Social Networks Messing with Your Head?,” David DiSalvo convinces his readers that, “as social networks proliferate, they are changing the way people think about the Internet, from a tool used in solitary anonymity to a medium that touches on questions about human nature and identity; who we are, how we feel about ourselves, and how we act toward one another” (501). He bases his argument on multiple psychological research which indicates social networking sites do not cause loneliness, rather it makes those who were lonely prior to social networking lonelier, and for those who are not lonely, social networking sites actually help them continue their online relationships offline, which isn’t a bad thing in that case. It has also been researched that social networking is a self-esteem booster, and is even paving the way for those with narcissist personalities, however, just as it can be a self-esteem booster, social networking has the ability to bring down self-esteem just as fast. DiSalvo also talks about how we are obsessively going online, spending unhealthy amounts of time on social network websites to the point where it starts to become debilitating. The essay concludes with the idea that there is a transformational current going on, and social media is not only changing the way we interact with one another, but it is also affecting our brains, having a psychological effect on us.

This action plan will allow Better World Books to come out from behind the shadowns of Amazon and other online retailers, something they have been struggling to accomplish. The bottom line regarding notoriety is the fact that Better World Books is not doing enough to spread awareness of their social mission, or their business as a whole. We believe social media is a great tool to combat that
What is meant by this is sites such as Google or Facebook give us free services, or so we think, but what is really happening is they collect our personal information and sell them to businesses so they can use it to lure us into buying their products through specialized ads. In my opinion, this is a smart business tactic, although not the best. Just because we give out certain interests we have, it doesn’t mean that it’s the only interest we have. It would be much smarter to give a variety of ads so that people are open to looking at something they didn’t even know that they may need or enjoy. There is only so much you can give us of something we already
Too much of anything is never a good thing. Negative psychological effects are common in individuals who actively participate on social media for hours on a daily basis. In 2008, UCLA conducted a study which revealed web users had literally altered their prefrontal cortexes due to, in part, to the fast pace of social networking sites rewiring the brain with repeated exposure. “In 2012, Medical News Today reported on a study suggesting that Facebook use may feed anxiety and increase a person's feeling of
Leslie Hicks Communications 5 Opinion Paper: “Isolated by the Internet” According to Clifford Stoll, author of the book from which this excerpt, “Isolated by the Internet”, has been removed for our evaluation, the Internet can have harmful, declinitive effects on a persons’ real-life social ties and mental health. He cites a study on internet use by two psychologists from Carnegie Mellon University, as well as an early independent study done by Psychologist Kimberly Young on the effects of internet addiction to support his assertions. In both studies, the internet was shown to increase rates of depression among users, in direct tandem with frequency of use. Also, loneliness increased as the internet was shown to reduce the number of contacts in frequent users’ real-life social circles. By “real-life social circle”, I mean what Stoll defines as Deep Social Ties.
CBS Corporation, which owns CBSNews.com, is a member of the Copyright Alliance -- an industry group representing content producers that supports SOPA and PIPA. Why Internet companies oppose SOPA and PIPA Internet companies and their investors would readily say that they're holding the "blackout" to protect their corporate interests -- and the entire burgeoning Internet-based economy. "The success of Reddit... is one of the smaller examples of the success that has happened in our industry -- and will continue to unless bills like SOPA or PIPA become law," Ohanian said Tuesday. Under the rules SOPA or PIPA would impose, Ohanian and others argue, start ups wouldn't be able to handle the costs that come with defending their sites against possible violations. Such sites would not be able to pay the large teams of lawyers that established sites like Google or Facebook can
Most people find that looking things up on the internet is distracting because you are already on the web so why not check YouTube for a funny video, or update your status on the social network. Is the advancing of our technology worth the making us dumber as Nicholas Carr states in his piece, "Is Google Making us Stupid?" We are live in a technologically civilized society.
