It is only nineteen years old, what I’m doing in my life?
Hey! Aajaban! that’s cool.
Am I impressed with this picture?
Do you really need more Likes?
I hope to be invited to the wedding.
Last impressive, wonderful!
Hello to the inner monologue while surfing social networking sites.
Those communing experienced by many of us every day.
But we do not think about it, and we are talking about.
In fact, many of us do not even realize it occur.
I Bailey Parnell,
I will discuss with you the unintended consequences
Which Tzb their networking sites on mental health
Will show you what pressure you and Iotrk every day,
What do you?
And how a better experience over the Internet?
More than a year ago,
I leave my sister and duration of four days to Jasper, Alberta Okhaddt.
It was the first to leave me without work get them within four years.
In this holiday I went to the dark.
Operated flight mode, there is an e-mail or social media
The first day there,
I was still suffering from delusional syndrome vibration
This is what you think, your phone is closed!
And I examined him, but this does not work.
I’ve looked into it constantly
I was distracted in conversation
I see this Almnazeralraiah for Jasper,
The first reaction was for me to take my phone,
And Onscheraly means of communication
But there is this course.
The second day a little easier.
Maybe you think I’m silly,
But I did not connected to the Internet for more than four years
I’ve also had the experience of a new process.
Did not pass more than the fourth day there,
So I felt comfortable without my phone finally.
I was sitting with my sister at the foot of this mountain, literally,
When I started thinking about myself:
“What do you do networking sites to me?”
“What do you do to my friends?”
It was only four days, and this was causing concern
He was causing tension and led to the withdrawal symptoms.
So it was when I started asking questions
Since then began Master’s thesis on this subject.
I have worked in social marketing initially since I was in higher education
In most of my professional life.
In the sense that I worked very much in the period between 18-24 years old,
It has also happened that was,
More active on social networking sites and periods.
The other thing you should know me
I am a small adequacy that greater with the means of social communication
But big enough to get involved in it and criticize him
In a way I can not do it when I was twelve.
My personal life and professional and academic is to become the social networking sites
If they do this to me, what do you do with others?
And immediately I found that I am not the only one.
Health Center for Social Mental found that
The three diagnoses top universities, were anxiety, depression and stress.
Many of the studies in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and others
Linked high use of the means of social communication,
High levels of anxiety and depression.
But the awful thing is that the higher use
Almost all of the people I know
My friends, my family, my colleagues
90% of the category between 18-29 years are on social networking sites.
We spend an average of two hours a day.
We do not even eat two hours a day.
70% of the Canadian people on social networking sites
The voter turnout is not up to 70%.
Often any thing to do is offer for critical remarks
Anything we spend a lot of time do we have lasting effects.
So let me introduce to you,
More than four causes of nervous pressure on the social networking sites:
If you have not verified
It will be vulnerable to become a full psychological issues,
So without anything, the list of exhausted
Number one: highlight the best events
Such as what happens in sports,
It is a collection of the best and the brightest moments.
And social networking sites is the place where we highlight the best events.
It is the place where we put our achievements or seem a wonderful view
Or come up with our friends and our family
But we wrestle with insecurity,
Because we compare our lives behind the curtain
Golden moments for everyone else.
We are constantly comparing ourselves with others
Yes, I’ve had this happen before the advent of social networking sites,
With television and celebrities
But now this happens all the time and is linked to you directly.
Danger to Bali is an excellent example of this during a preparatory talk
It’s my girlfriend during the leave: “Lord, nap …”
(Laughter)
Wait, because I can not afford to leave expenses?
As I am sitting here in undresses watching Netflix?
I want to go to the beach
This is the thing, I know very well.
I know this is out of the ordinary for her.
I know she literally soaked in school work
But we think, than you want to see it?
In fact, this is the thing that people want to see.
In fact, when they are doing well in this show,
The second thing cause was defeated pressure on the nervous networking sites.
It is number two: Social currency.
It’s as dollar, the currency we use literally
To assess the goods or service.
On networking sites, these comments and Likes Posts
It has become as a social currency and on this basis we give things worth.
It is called marketing “attention economy”
All vying for your attention.
And when you give something impressive or something of this limited attention,
The process of becoming a registered value.
This is wonderful when you sell albums or clothing.
The problem is in social networking sites,
[We product]
We give others a chance our assessment.
You know someone, or that you are the person who pulled the image
Because it did not take many as you feel Likes.
I’ll admit, I’ve been right with you.
We take the product off the shelf because it was not sold quickly enough,
This alters our sense of self.
We link the value of ourselves by what other people think about us.
And then we select it for all to see.
We become obsessed.
We get a good sealife and in Sbebl so Snokhadd 300 photos to make sure.
Then Stnntzer the perfect time for posting
We’re really obsessed.
Our biological responses when we can not participate.
Which Icodona to the third cause of stress.
Number Three: .FOMO
It is a light and I’ve taken everything around.
FOMO or fear of losing your place is a real social phobia
From the fear that you may lose a potential continuity
Or occasion or opportunity.
I found a group of Canadian universities that 7/10 students
They said they will get rid of social sites accounts
Without fear of being left out of the group.
Out of curiosity, how many people here
Who have thought about or deactivate their accounts.
Almost every person.
Those not. FOMO you feel, the most prominent social currency to your events.
All this is the result of the experience of a relatively natural person on the means of social communication.
But what if you were going to it every day a terrible experience?
Where you do not just ask feeling with yourself,
But you also ask your safety ?!
Perhaps the worst cause of pressure on the means of communication is the number four:
Harassment online.
40% of adults have been subjected to online harassment FREE.
It has seen 73% on it.
The sad truth is that it is much worse and much more is possible
If you’re a woman, gay, or because of your color, or Muslim –
I think you understand what I mean.
The problem is that we are in the news we see these huge stories:
Tyler Slmente of 18 years,
Who committed suicide after his partner housing secretly photographed kissing another boy
And publish it on Twitter.
We see women like Anita Sarkisan, which was near the shame of the Internet.
God sent death and rape threats for her participation feminist.
We see these stories, but too late.
What about the daily harassment online?
What about the ugly Alsnab chat that you sent to your friend
The structure of it is secret but now on Facebook?
“And what about this? It’s one image, this is fun”
“Comment evil one is not a problem”
But when these small moments occur time after time over time,
So we will have a big problem.
We must be aware of these daily moments as well.
Because if we did not check them and did not show their effects,
We will get more Tyler Slementz.
Awareness of the effects is not always easy.
How many of you have noticed the notice at the top of my screen?
How many of you like me annoyed because someone did not give him attention?
Let me Hassanna I check it for you, (sigh) Well!
It is only a small example of what this can do you.
Maybe you can not simply focus because notifications
It has been out of control and need to be verified.
This need eventually became an addiction.
With regard to social media communication, we are already faced with
Similar damage to rely on materials
With all the admiration you get a dose of chemical happiness, Dopamine
You get more social currency, what do you do to feel happy?
Check Likes, only other times.
We publish, just another time.
Quorum worried that we could not connect to the Internet.
Not seem to you like an anesthetic heard about it before?
Yup!
So when it grows up
When it becomes your consumption means of communication is uncomfortable with the time.
It is when we see the rise of the rising anxiety and depression:
The. FO, .MO, dispersion, show the most prominent events and comparisons:
They are many all the time.
The Canadian Association of Mental Health
I found that students from grade 12-7 who spend two hours a day on the means of communication
They recognized the highest of anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts levels.
For those of you doing the account, like the one aged twelve years.
This is the thing, I really love the means of social communication.
Listen to what I said today,
Maybe you think I would like you to give up
But I will not do.
I do not think this is useful Saagdi
So I will not waste my time telling you
To spend a less time on communication sites
Frankly, I do not think his absence is an option anymore.
But this does not mean you can not exercise safely.
Everything I talked about today
Has nothing and everything to do with the means of social communication,
I mean that the means of communication is not good or bad.
It’s just the latest way we use to do what we have always been we are doing:
The story of stories and communicate with each other.
You can not blame Samsung TV to display a bad program.
Twitter can not make people write hateful posts.
When we speak of the dark side of the means of social communication.
We are really talking about the dark side of the people.
Dark side that makes harassers are harassing
Lack of a sense of security that makes you drag an image
I was eager to share.
That dark side that makes you look at the picture of a happy family and marvel,
Why thy do not look well.
For this Koolia things, teachers, friends and heads of work
This is the dark side that we need to focus on.
We need prevention strategies and strategies to cope with
That’s why bad days come to you – because you will go through this –
When you ask will not feel a sense of inferiority with yourself Ktalr Slemente
And many like him.
“Well Bailey, how do you see the validity of the means of social communication?”
This is the good news:
Understanding the problem is the first step to solve
For this hearing this talk is that the first step is to recognize the problem.
You know the power of suggestions,
When someone tells you something, you begin to see him everywhere.
This is an important awareness.
Because you are now high in the least you will become better aware of these effects.
If or when he spoke to you.
The second thing you will do is to review your diet on the means of communication.
In the same way in which we control what enters your mouth,
Control what enters your head and your heart.
Ask yourself: Do you surf Facebook makes you better or worse?
How many times are already verifying Likes?
Why do I answer this way to that image?
Then ask yourself if you are happy with the results.
It may well be this good!
But if I am not so, go back to the third step.
Then creating a better online experience.
After what my partner has to do so,
He realized that his sense of self was tied strongly by means of communication,
But celebrity specifically Ivkroh the things that are not owned,
This has disabled follow all brands and all celebrities.
This has succeeded him.
But for it may not be because of celebrity
For me I had to purge some of the people of My stay.
Let me tell you the secret.
You do not have to follow “your friends.”
The truth is that sometimes our friends,
Or people who are present on our Facebook such as judges
They just destroy the Internet!
Find yourself in this negative war of aggression
You did not even know what is happening.
Or you look at 50 photos of the same scene from the same angle.
(Laughter)
If you want to follow artists or comedians or cats,
you can do it.
The last thing you will do is to emulate good behavior.
Outside the Internet, we have learned not Ntnmr on the other children in the playground.
We have learned to respect others and treat them as they deserve.
We learned not to strike others when they feel bad,
Or still enjoy Bsagothm.
The means of social communication tool.
A tool that can be used in good positive for groups better,
Revolutions, to put the angry cat in Disney movies!
(Laughter)
Internet strange world.
Are social media hurt your mental health?
The answer is: not necessarily.
You can Tmzkk even collapse, yes, or can they have uploaded to the highest,
It’s where to let go and you better off or actually laugh out loud.
In the end, I have 24 hours a day,
If you spent two hours of them on networking sites,
I want my experience to be filled with inspiration, laughter and stimulation
And a lot of angry cats in the Disney movies.
Thank.
(clap)
