CONCLUSION

The Information Age

THANK YOU!

The Internet is not a substitute for real human interaction as a means for emotional and social fulfillment. The use of the Internet can be both highly entertaining and useful, but if it causes too much disengagement from real life, it can also be harmful. Until the technology evolves to be more beneficial, people should moderate their use of the Internet and monitor the uses to which they put it. While there are clear benefits to virtual communities formed around infocommunication networks.

What is clear is that there must be a balance that should be maintained and minimized social isolation.

What is the impact of ICTs on communities?

Do other communication technologies affect societies the way the Internet does?

ICTs make possible communities where proximity is not a factor for intimacy.

Examples: Web forums, newsgroups, which are organized in topics.

It has become a familiar gadget because as we know can't be only used to make voice calls but also for messages.

Maybe in a near future more people will access the Internet via mobile phones than computers.

A person can find others on a similar situation with whom to form possible friendships based on common interests, or support groups if suffering from strange afflictions ...

For this reason, Castells disagrees that Internet use lowers social interaction and causes greater social isolation. He does agree that in certain circumstances, perhaps for individuals suffering from addiction or dependence, Internet use tends to become a substitute for other social activities.

How will the Internet affect the Individual?

If this is happening, shouldn't be simply banned?

  • How will the Internet affect the individual?
  • Given its negative effects on individuals, shouldn´t the Internet simply be banned?
  • What is the impact of ICTs on communities?
  • Do other communication technologies affect societies the way the Internet does?

How will the Internet affect the family?

But...

-It makes us "addicted"

*Technology allows families living in different places to keep in touch with each other.

*But we are spending less time with our families because of information and work overload.
