Here's what the public about the study of Repubblica.it Social Netowrk. The article will be broken by brief comments to understand my thinking about the evolution that are undergoing the users and the network itself.

 

 

" The research debunks Pew injury: who uses the community on the web has a better chance to weave social relationships than others. He continues to prefer face to face ". They have more friends, are more tolerant and open to diversity, continue to prefer face to face relationships with family and loved ones, but they write very few letters. Here's the picture of the generation that uses mobile phones and social networks.

False. Using a social network but without prejudice to its being open to diversity. A person is able, without the development which is under the network, to tackle anything whatever, as long as there are conditions and worthy objectives. Basically it is not necessary to have in front of a computer monitor on facebook to accept or understand the differences. Using a mobile handset is now common to all and this boom led by the explosive social network and derivatives in the long run may be bad. A report face to face is necessarily something that a normal feature of daily life under each of us and not a synonym for those who use mobile phones and social networks. Heresies. For letter no comment.

 

Thought that behind the computer screen is concealed anti-social people who feared the world? We were wrong. To say this is an American survey conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, a non-profit and non-party that provides information on attitudes and trends in the United States and around the world.

This time to be analyzed is the relationship between isolation and technology, with particular interest to those means that over the last twenty years have replaced the old mode of interaction. And the result is amazing. Among the more than 3 thousand adult Americans interviewed by telephone, who frequents social networking, blogs or use the phone has more opportunities to forge relationships. The volume of social relationships is on average higher than 12% among those who use the phone and 9 among those who attended sharing sites or send emails. Since the last report on the topic dating back to 1985, the number of persons who confide their secrets but fell from three to two. But the use of technology is not related to this decrease.

Indeed, for those using the new social network contacts are more numerous and diverse than the others: only 45% of respondents to talk about important issues with people outside their family while he does 55% of Internet users. Those who have exchanged photos online, 61% chance of higher than average to have discussions with stakeholders with different political interests. Bloggers have a 95% chance of having relations with people of different ethnicity from their own. In other words, communication technologies are a factor of social integration.

FalseThe use of technology should not necessarily be related to social dysfunction and lack of integration. Who uses social networks for various strengths of what is closer contantto with the other world and the relationships that are imposed are more than a common user who cares instead of all this. Research should be another: how to use social networks and their users. Which use them 3 thousand people, or 300milioni is indifferent. The debate should be focused on the use made of it. Why not say that because of the social network in America, people lose jobs? Why not talk about the use made of it even when not necessary? Why do not you want to make things appear as they are instead of investigating gross things? Fortunately you are not all equal. Several are using them for advertising, marketing and business staff of its activities. E 'a way as any to get noticed. The problem, however, are the antics that are described with regard to important issues, secrets, the exchange of photos on the internet and so on. It 'just cling to the statistics but the questions between 1985 and today must inevitably be different and well-researched and should be noted inappropriate use of what we have in our hands and lacerations which cause in the near future.


According to Pew Research the new network to help expand their horizons and break down geographical barriers and racial. It turns out for example that those who use the phone has a larger pool of contacts by 25%, who is an interior base of 15% and the percentage is even more for those who are a sailor or a habitual user of chat services, or sharing images. Furthermore, people with whom to discuss important topics are for those who use the phone number greater than 12% for those who share files or use chat 9%. Customers are more likely to frequent bars of 45%, 69% eating in a restaurant and 42% for a walk in a public park. Who uses the new technology and also those who practice more volunteering on a local basis, as well as youth groups and charities.


One thing that will console the many detractors of the new forms of sociality is certainly relative isolation. Today, as in 1985, the percentage of American citizens who may be considered socially isolated remains equal to 6%. So do not add to the lonely or who have no knowledge with which to discuss or consider significant people in their lives, but differs in favor of those who use digital technology, the quality of relationships. One thing remains unchanged: one concerning the relationship with your loved ones. Respondents continue to prefer the face to face communication with regard to family and friends, people who like to go with an average of 210 days a year, contact with cell phones around 195 days a year, with 125 days to phones, e email almost 72 days, in chat 55 days and 39 days via social networks. And the letter? If we want the actual breakdown of the new technologies it is she that respondents claim to use an average of only 8 days per year.

True. Finally, a right side. The relationship face to face is more "clean" compared to an IM conversation. Especially when you look at a person in the eyes, mouth, the gesture that uses and understands how it is made and if you tease or not. Chats create misunderstandings and above all, in most cases, are used to waste time, to speak with the same person that we see (again according to statistics) 210 days a year. Repeat. We must think about how you use the chat and the use made of it. We prepare reports productivity among individuals who routinely use the chat rooms and social networking sites and those who do not use. And 'here the problem.

False. This 6% are common personal, classic, normal. The study are even defined socially isolated. What a shame.



Another fact is unexpected on relations with local realities: According to the Pew Research for who uses the internet makes it equally both to encourage relationships with people who live far away that to maintain local contacts. An exception, however, the members of Facebook: they are the ones to be less interested in knowing their neighbors. When they need support, companionship or help for family events like to chat with their Facebook contacts rather than with people nearby, but when the neighbors to need help do not hesitate to intervene.

True. All of this is horrifying. Given the strong relationship with diversity, considering also the " knowledge " that you speak with a person who is thousands of miles, you can talk about their dicks in this manner? I am stunned.


" The figure is part of a typical trend in human history says Keith Hampton, principal author of the report and professor at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, the same happened when he introduced the phone and is charged for the first time was possible to obtain social support outside the circle of the neighborhood. Social networks are just another example of how man uses communication technologies to achieve various kinds of interactions at distances from people we never met before ".

One that speaks to you in the past has used both the social network that chat, but he realized dell'improduttività constant obtained. The days passed without my realizing the goals I set myself and that I had achieved. When I realized a lot has changed, fortunately. unfortunately there are people who chat and their own custom social network, regardless of time or have any other priority. These people are constantly growing, especially after the fashion facebook. I call it just a fad because it's a waste that surely will cause the "victims". In my humble opinion, these statistics do not make much sense especially for the standard report and the questions that have been requested. The question is always how one uses things, not who uses them.
