W8. Technology, the Internet, and Virtual Worlds / Lee Se Hyun


Summary

New areas of research in social science include mobile phones, social networks, and video games. Many changes have taken place with their appearance.
The introduction of mobile phones changed social customs. With the availability of cell phones in many situations, informal social norms have been created to control cell phone use, and the dependence of people on mobile phones due to their high utilization has changed social life.Social networks can maintain contact with friends and family who live far away, so they can maintain relationships, but they also have adverse effects that can cause problems in life to maintain relationships. It also causes gender inequality problems. Studies show that women who post profile photos tend to be less physically and socially attractive and less capable of completing tasks than women who do not post them.Video games have the advantage of improving visual focus, but they have a negative impact on health and behavioral problems.

Interesting point

Cell phones, social networks and video games have brought positive changes to our lives. But it also brought problems. In common, it has a problem of failing to focus on the real world. This is a problem that will continue to arise as technology advances and we must address it.

Question

Rapid advances in technology offer positive effects but also negative effects from differences in technology and perception. What efforts should we make to solve these problems?

What is meant by that? / Lee hayoung

Q. Society is not determined by technology, nor is technology determined by society. Both emerge as two sides of the sociotechnical coin. What is meant by that? A. So to begin with, I think that society and technology are the relationships that influence each other, the concepts that one cannot include or dominate. There is technology in society, and technology exists because there is society. I think it's an inseparable relationship, so I think it can be expressed in both sides of a coin.
