People's future usage of social media will be more intimate,
allowing them to converse and share more personal info with their friends and
colleagues much more conveniently and efficiently.
“I also think
that there will continue to be a big push towards making social media more
private and secure for its users – this has been a big problem recently, and
many people are just realizing how truly dangerous a lack of online privacy can
be.– Lilach Bullock, @lilachbullock (2020) (Lipschultz, 2021)
Data mining, on the other hand, will be one of the most
damaging side effects that users of social media will suffer in the future.
Data mining is a major difficulty in terms of improving acceptable data
analysis systems without giving up the right to access information from a
variety of client data sets. Data mining security is one of the most prevalent
concerns, since individuals who use social media generate large amounts of data
that may be easily accessed by government agencies. This might be disastrous if
the data was not used safely.
Mark Zuckerberg tried to give reassurance that privacy and
safety need to be build in the metaverse from day one. (Zuckerberg, CNET,2022)
Talk about Meta, what you like, what you dislike.
The metaverse is a virtual world that incorporates numerous
online activities and services, such as networking, entertainment, and
entrepreneurial permutations, into a simulated world that anybody in the entire
planet may appreciate.
The metaverse has provoked vigorous debate over whether it
is a positive idea or will have deleterious repercussions for our society.
Critics predict it will worsen the situation. I feel it is society's next
natural progression with the internet.
Pros:
In the same way that social media has assisted the
development of innumerable business prospects and produced a new style of
marketing and promotion on its platforms, the metaverse will definitely bring
many more options.
Rather than viewing everything through a small screen on
your phone, the metaverse provides a fully immersive experience for promoting
and consuming products and services by utilizing new marketing and advertising
strategies such as virtualized storefronts, curated shows, and highly
interactive engagement and customer service.
Cons:
On the internet, privacy has always been a constraint, with
many users unaware that their data is being collected and sold for various
purposes, including advertising.
The fact that Meta is leading the charge to create a new
metaverse just adds to the anxiety. This isn't going away just because their
identity has shifted, given their prior experience with user privacy issues.
What strikes you?
Users are oblivious to the fact that government entities
accumulate private information and unstructured data about ourselves and the
environment and utilize it to make technology behave in profoundly human ways.
How is the push towards technological innovation changing
your life?
We can now receive the things we want immediately, supply
routes have become much more efficient and convenient, and we can socialise
with people we want to connect with regardless of the time, geographic
location, or linguistic hurdles in everyday life.
How do you think it may impact work during your career?
One of the many important duties of a Data Scientist is to
analyze data using predictive modeling, machine learning, and sophisticated
deep learning techniques.
Industry information flow: We now have access to a fire hose
of data and understanding how to manage and synthesize the massive amount of
incoming information can be a challenge. At the same time, with the right
tools, the data can be turned into actionable insights. (Lipschultz, J., n.d. Social media communication. 3rd ed. p.198)

Hello Avery,
ReplyDeletei can agree that privacy has always been an issue, it is very important to limit what you put out there because your information is being sold everyday.
