Pope warns alienation risk social networks dehumanize warnings

  • He said the possibilities of new media and social networks offered "a great opportunity," but warned of the risks of depersonalization, alienation, self-indulgence, and the dangers of having more virtual friends than real ones.
  • He urged users of social networks to ask themselves "Who is my 'neighbor' in this new world?" and avoid the danger of always being available online but being "less present to those whom we encounter in our everyday life."
  • He said social networking can help "dialogue, exchange, solidarity and the creation of positive relations" but he also offered a list of warnings.

    In this article by the New York Times the Pope warns the mass majority of the people that social networks can dehumanize people. People are becoming more addicted to the virtual world. Questions it raises are that: 1) Will technology & robots one day perhaps replace human beings? 2) Do you think Americans are spending too much time websurfing the internet instead of seeing friends & getting daily exercise?

    I can connect to Feed because in the book Titus is blinded by everything related to media & all these cool gadgets & the Pope is highlighting all the negative effects like depersonalization, alientation, self-indulgence, & the dangers of having more virtual friends than real ones."

  • Accounts are phished when users are tricked into clicking an email or IM link taking them to fake login pages.  Once phished, scammers use various applications to suck out personal information from a user's entire network of friends.

      This reminded my when link ad his friends were hacked through there feeds just by touching the random man at the club, there are many new sly ways hackers use to steal information and its scary, i know of some websites (aol instand messanger) can also attract hackers by watching your conversations somehow then stealing your information

      yes people can get through your page and even take all your info just through links and others friends
  • Perhaps the most common reason that teens' private information is exposed is because they are easily tricked into accepting friend requests from strangers

  • Four years ago it was rare to learn of a child under 7th grade with an account.  Last fall, for the first time, 4th graders began reporting to us that they had Facebook accounts.  We now estimate that about 60 - 70% of 7th graders have accounts and the number is higher for 8th graders.  These children are too young to be using Facebook or other adult social networks for the reasons detailed below.

  • “The Internet is starting to rotate around the axis of Facebook — not everything, but everything social,” Mr. Rohan said. “Yahoo and Flickr don’t really have the gravitational pull that would make Flickr the axis that they once imagined.”
  • A pioneer in combining photos with social networking features, Flickr is facing a stiff challenge from newer services. In addition to fighting rumors, it is having to work hard to keep its users returning as Facebook widens its lead as the popular destination for sharing party, vacation and family snapshots.

    Flickr, a photosharing service, starts slumping and is struggling to keep up with the tough competition they face from others. Questions this article raises is whether Flickr really isn't a good site for exchanging photos between people AND if nowadays people are swayed in a revolution where people view photos online instead of flipping through photo albums.
  • Christina Chan on 04 Feb 11
     
    I can connect this to Feed because when more popular websites or things are high in demand...you start to see a slump in the other. In this situation, Flickr is losing their fan base while Facebook is becoming more widely known & is the top social networking website. In Feed Titus's dad said that the air factories are going to replace the deforested trees in Jefferson park in order to make way for air factories. Both of these situations show radicalism & the rapid pace of the ever-changing world.

  • cancer-causing effects, destruction of nutritive value and biological effects of direct exposure of humans to microwave emissions.
  • A "binding effect" between the microwaved food and any atmospheric radioactivity is created, causing a marked increase in the amount of alpha and beta particle saturation in the food.
  • The unstable catabolism of microwaved food alters their elemental food substances, causing disorders in the digestive system.

  • A statistically higher percentage of cancerous growths result in these organs, plus a generalised breakdown of the peripheral cellular tissues and a gradual degeneration of digestive and excretory functions.

      Cancer is can grow in the stomach from the radioactivity that is in the food after you heat it up in the microwave.
  • The vital energy field content of all tested foods dropped 60-90%. Digestibility of fruits and vegetables reduced: Microwaving lowers the metabolic behaviour and integration-process capability of alkaloids, glucosides, alactosides and nitrilosides.

      a microwave can mess up the way your brain is supposed to process your food into your stomach.
  • Their residual magnetism effect can render the psychoneural-receptor components of the brain more subject to influence by artificially induced, microwave-radio-frequency fields from transmission stations and TV relay networks.

    Microwaves take a huge part in our society today. The radioactivity is very harmful to our lives by creating direct exposer of humans. The increase of radioactivity can cause a "binding effect" between the micro-waved food causing a marked increase in the amount of alpha and beta particle saturation in the food. This also effects our digestive system by the unstable catabolism of micro-waved food alters their elemental food substances, causing disorders in the digestive system. Also electrical impulses in the junction potentials of the cerebrum degenerate and break down.

  • sharing of resources among institutions of widely varying size, endowment, focus, and stature. Similarly, the economical development, maintenance, and use of materials for interdisciplinary approaches, like the way networked hypertext resources create course and institutional memories, has enormous appeal for many.

      this article has a connection to Anderson's text because not only does Anderson show s through his creative writing that there are the good sides to the advancing technology but there are the bads to and this article also explains the same thing
  • such as have always happened with shifts in technological and informational paradigms. Plato rightly feared the devaluing of memory by those who read and write, and those who earlier feared the democratizing effects of earlier changes in information technology, such as those introduced by books, copy machines, and calculators were, from their point of view, absolutely correct.

      Andersen's text also shows us how thing in future technology can decrease our intellect and this article also suggests that to a certain degree.

  • If you go shopping on a website that isn’t secure, your data may be out in the open for anyone to pick up and use.

      One of the risks of shopping online is that your personal information like your credit card or your social security number can be accessed. The Feed in the people in feed were open to getting viruses like your info is at risk for being stolen.

      WOAH Jeff nice point...this quote relates back the the novel "feed" very nicely. As we know violet and titus and all his her friends were attacked by the hacker. Later on in the novel Violet was taken over by the feed and lost various funtions until she died because of the feed.
    • stephen richards

      I completely agree with you Ryan. because of all the online access people like titus are more open to dangers like a virus, and even those who dont use the feed as the corps want them to can get a virus but then the corps wont help them for not using the feed to purchase merchandise.
  • Another risk with shopping online is that there are many website built just to phish account names and passwords.
    • Jeffrey Baudisch
      Jeffrey Baudisch on 07 Feb 11
       
      If you are careless with your information online there can be huge consequences. You can loose your accounts and passwords to fake sights that are just look like the website you wanted. They can then shop on the real website as you. The feed can access your thoughts and use them to advertise products to you.
    • Ryan Clarke
      Ryan Clarke on 01 Mar 11
       
      WOAH JEFF so true there can be huge consecuences thats why you have to be on a secure network with a secure website. For example BANK OF AMERICAS website. People log into that all the time to do online banking and if thats not secure than WOW you will get your information stolen
  • Buying without thinking or without hesitation may lead to some bad experiences down the road.
    • Jeffrey Baudisch
      Jeffrey Baudisch on 07 Feb 11
       
      If you are not careful you can end up buying a product that seems real but really is fake. When people buy something without thinking there are often consequences like a huge bill. In Feed the people are able to buy products from inside their head making it easy for them to spend out of control.

      Nathan That is a good point you had about jeffs GREAT POINT. also cheap is spelled cheap not cheep but i digress. it is true that through ebay and craigs list we are less conscious about how much we spend because until the credit card bill arrives you dont see the total of what you buy and that will begin to add up.
