SOCIAL MEDIA

The influence and impact of technology on teens and social media raises some
important questions for parents, educators, and employers.

Technology gives us power, but it does not and cannot tell us how to use that
power. Thanks to technology, we can instantly communicate across the world,
but it still doesnt help us know what to say.

Our technological powers increase, but the side effects and potential hazards
also escalate.

1. What type of digital footprint is being created? How might it impact users today
and in the future? Think about social media as an evolving personal resume that
is not easily edited.
2. Life moments and memories are an integral part of our lives. Do we want them to
be viewed by everyone? Will they expose us to risk?
3. What is the intent and focus of social media communication?
4. Communication may be evolving, but being a quality communicator will remain a
critical success factor. How is the use of social media shaping communication
skills?
5. What are the implications for building effective lines of communication with
different generations?
