Linkedin is basically a facebook for networking and finding other people with the same interest and mind set as you Networking Cons of Social Media: Mental Illness The Scientific American Mind states that "Teenagers who used social media on a daily basis were 13 percent more likely to say they felt depressed than were peers who did not use it every day." The depression spike increased when over 50% of the American population owned a smartphone. Con: Cyber Bullying It's not the social media that is doing the bullying, it is the people behind the screens. People can get away with bullying very easy while online. “Cyberbullying is potentially a factor in the increase of youth suicides” - New Zealand Managment magazine. Con: People can be deceiving Not everyone is who they seem to be You can never truly be sure that someone is who they say they are. Social Media can play a huge roll in task delay Seconds are minutes and minutes are hours When you get done procrastinating on your phone, do you ever think what else you could have accomplished? Time looking at social media constantly will cause you to go from peak performance to average performance Unsurprisingly popular apps are designed in a way to be addictive to the user so the company can have a competitive edge Con: Distraction/Procrastination Nothing can ever be truly deleted How personal information of yourself is on your social media? Is your password easy to figure out? Geotagging Faceprint database- tags people by face recognition without you have to tag them yourself Comments are searchable Posts that you liked are tracked Ever searched something on youtube/amazon/pintrist and all of a sudden its popped up on your feed? Con: Privacy issues Recognize the problem Admit your social media diet Model good behavior Create a better online experience How to make social media a better experience: Power of suggestion Awareness Purge Negativity Purge the models and famous people Monitor yourself Are you checking for likes/comments?
