Os adjunto la transcripción del último audio que vimos en clase:
Let’s look at some numbers. As of 2018, 88 percent of people in the United States between the ages of 18 and 29 used social media. Sixty-nine percent of adults had online friends. Most users visited social media sites at least once a day, and some several times a day. Worldwide, about 2.62 billion people used social media in 2018. Those numbers are going up every year, and this trend will almost certainly continue.
So, let’s discuss the issue of online friends. I recently saw negative headlines about this topic. One newspaper had an article titled, “Nobody has real friends anymore.” The article argued that online friends aren’t real friends. Note that many people have hundreds of online friends, but no one can have meaningful relationships with 500 people.
Professor Robin Dunbar is a researcher at Oxford University. He did a study of more than 3,000 social media users in the United Kingdom. Their average number of online friends was about 150. Of these, usually fewer than ten were close friends, or people the user had meaningful relationships with. Of course, some online friends may also be friends off-line; you know, close friends that we frequently see face to face.
Dunbar also sees good things about having friends on social media. He mentions particularly that friendships often “decay”—that is, friends become less close—when they are physically separated, for example, when one friendmoves far away. With social media, it’s easier to stay in touch and keep friendships alive.
Finally, we can’t talk about social media without mentioning some of the problems and dangers that exist. On social media, people are sharing more information about themselves with more people than ever before. Our lives are becoming more public and less private. A recent study found that more than half of people who use social media do not trust these sites to protect their information.
Once information is posted on social media it can be hard or impossible to delete it. It may stay online forever. It’s also difficult to control who can see it. Users don’t stop to think Do I want my boss to see this picture or read that comment?
There are also problems with the “tone” of online conversations. The same study found that more than 50 percent of users think online discussions are “less respectful” and “angrier” than face-to-face discussions.
To sum up, there are probably more questions than answers about the effects of social media on friendships. How are online friendships changing “real-life” friendships? How are our ideas about privacy changing? In some ways, things are the same. In real life and online there will always be those “friends” who share information they shouldn’t. There will always be people who have angry arguments online and off. But online these things affect more people more quickly.
By the way, here’s one more interesting bit of information about Professor Dunbar. You won’t find him on social media. He says he prefers talking to friends face to face, over a good meal!.
En el grupo de los martes y jueves de ARBOLÍ, A1CEUBIT y el A3CEUBIM (miércoles y viernes por la mañana), hemos iniciado la nueva unidad. En esta unidad trataremos sobre aficiones y hobbies.
