This document discusses how new technology and social media impact romantic relationships. It provides statistics from a survey that show both positive and negative effects. While technology can enhance communication between partners, it can also reduce quality time together and cause jealousy over time spent online. The document explores theories for why the internet is so compelling, such as anonymity and an altered sense of reality, and discusses challenges it can introduce to relationships like misunderstandings, distraction, and opportunities for cybersex and infidelity.
Social Media & Political Engagement in DenmarkDECIDIS
This survey examined social media use and political engagement in Denmark. It found that while social media is widely used, usage varies significantly by age, with younger people being more active users. It also found that Danes tend to use social media more passively to stay informed rather than actively produce content. Facebook is an important news source but large echo chambers were not detected, as people sometimes change their views after online discussions. In general, social media is prevalent in Denmark but usage is more passive and consumption-focused than production-focused.

This document discusses how to identify and manage risky links in order to avoid penalties from Google's Penguin algorithm. It advises auditing all current links to determine which are risky, such as those with commercial anchors, banned words, or from sites with no social activity. Risky links should be removed carefully rather than all at once to avoid further harm. If penalties occur, the recommendations are to rebalance link profiles and rebuild cautiously while waiting for Google to reevaluate the site. Proper link removals, disavowals, and reinclusion requests may help recover from manual penalties.
The lifespan of a Super Bowl ad keeps growing as Americans will be searching, sharing and rewatching ads this year more than ever before, our 4th annual Super Bowl Survey uncovered. A third of Americans report they will seek out ads before kick-off this year and after the game ends, exactly half of Americans will rewatch their favorite ads. Results saw these numbers rise particularly among millennials and those who report they’ll be hungover on Super Bowl Monday. Check out our findings here.

Wearable Technology Futures 2020: A New Path for Public Health?Ogilvy Health
This document summarizes research into how four popular wearable technology devices (Fitbit Flex, Jawbone UP24, Misfit Shine, and Withings Pulse O2) incorporate behavioral change techniques (BCTs) into their apps. It finds that while the devices are good at tracking user data, they may not be as effective at promoting long-term behavior change. Specifically, only a third of users continue using wearable devices after 6 months. The document analyzes which BCTs the devices support and which studies have found to be most effective for behavior change. A key finding is that one-size-fits-all solutions are not effective, as different techniques work better for different groups, such as obese
The document discusses nanorobotics and describes various components involved. It provides an overview of nanorobotics, defining it as the technology of creating robots at the nanoscale level.

This document discusses silent sound technology, which allows people to communicate without making audible sounds. It works by using electromyography to detect tiny muscle movements involved in speech and processing images of a person's mouth and face. The technology was first conceptualized in a 1968 film and is now being developed to allow "lost calls" in noisy environments to be answered silently. Potential applications include helping mute people communicate, secretly transmitting PIN numbers, and covert military communications. The technology is expected to be incorporated into phones and improve as nanotechnology advances.
Nanorobotics is the emerging field of engineering nanorobots, which are robotic devices between 0.1-10 micrometers that are constructed of nanoscale or molecular components. Nanorobots could have applications in medicine such as performing surgery. One potential application is using a nanorobot to remove plaque from arteries and perform heart bypass surgery. The nanorobot would navigate through the bloodstream using sensors and propellers. It could identify plaque using temperature sensors and cameras. The nanorobot would then remove the plaque using a rotating needle. It would be powered by a nuclear power source and guided out of the body by surgery to remove it after completing the procedure. This could allow bypass surgery to be performed without major inc

Technisource Women in IT Careers Survey - Monster.comMonster
Despite years of criticism on the subject, there are still large disparities in the way men and women view employment within the technology field, according to the 2010 Technisource Women in Information Technology Report (conducted by Monster.com®). Most notably, differences in viewpoints were concentrated in compensation, mentors and role models, and challenges faced.
The new study demonstrates that while some lagging societal issues remain unchanged across the board, such as equal compensation, some perceived differences may be the result of specific choices and priorities between genders.
Among the key findings:
Career Satisfaction
Seventy-eight percent of women do not believe that compensation is equal between men and women – nearly half of the male respondents do perceive equality.
When asked about most important factors to men and women for career satisfaction, the greatest differences were men chose compensation and women chose being challenged and flexibility.
Career Progression
Fifty-two percent of women working in IT believe there is a "glass ceiling" that restricts their employment growth (28% of women are neutral).
When asked what the most important factors for career success were over the next five years, both men and women responded with technology experience and skills.
Mentorship/Role Models
When asked if respondents have had or do have a mentor, women responded the highest with 33 percent to 28 percent of men.
Seventy-three percent of women do not believe there are enough role models for women (versus 52 percent of men).
Future of Women in IT
Both men (56 percent) and women (70 percent) believe that greater promotion of IT as a career choice for women is the top encouraging factor for young women to enter the field.
Twenty-seven percent of men believe that women have an advantage over men working in the IT field.
Only 26 percent of men and 24 percent of women believe that society encourages young women to study math and science.
According to respondents, 74 percent of women believe female workers face a different set of career challenges than their male counterparts (compared to 48 percent of men).
"Our Women in Information Technology Report shows that there appear to be differences beyond how both women and men view their compensation and career progression within the IT field," said Alisia Genzler, vice president of the Northeast Region of Technisource. "Employers should take heed of these differing mindsets to better understand the unique priorities and challenges each of these groups face. Failing to do so will affect employee satisfaction, work performance, and in turn create a workforce that will jump at the opportunity to work for an employer that recognizes and acknowledges what really matters to them."
This survey studied chat app usage in Thailand by DI-Marketing. Key findings include:

The study surveyed 2,000 Indonesian social media users over 5 days in June 2017. It found that Facebook, Instagram and YouTube are the top 3 social networks used in Indonesia, with Facebook being the most frequently used. 88% of respondents access social media via smartphones, spending an average of 1.82 hours per day. The most common activities are communicating with friends, updating social news, and viewing friends' news. Local news, movies and life skills guides are the most followed topics. Clothing, shoes and bags are most frequently purchased through social networks, with 46% using social media for business purposes.
All of Our Students are On Social Media, But What Do We Need to Know?Chad Norman
Tweens and teens are predisposed to communicating online in similar ways to texting, with over half checking social media sites daily and some checking over 10 times per day. While social media provides opportunities to connect, it also poses pitfalls like privacy issues, cyberbullying, and impact on future employment that schools need to address through education and social media policies for students and staff. Educators were encouraged to create guidelines and educate all groups about both opportunities and risks of social media use.
The document discusses the rise of social media and its impact on organizations and communication. It notes that social media allows conversations to happen in new ways and that companies must engage in conversations on these platforms rather than just initiating them. It also emphasizes that social media is about building relationships and facilitating connections between people.

The document discusses survey results about how social media impacts democracy. 50% of respondents believe the internet helps democracy, while 32% believe it has no impact and 18% believe it hurts democracy. For social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, more respondents believe they help (38%) rather than hurt (30%) democracy. The top reasons cited for why social media helps democracy are that it allows spread of ideas and information, and connects like-minded people. Reasons cited for why it hurts include spreading of misinformation and fake news, as well as promoting one-sided views.
This Webinar was presented as the first in a series exploring issues important to youth mentoring programs on August 17, 2010. Social media and networking offer numerous ways to professionally engage with youth, serving both program needs and youth adaptability. However, technology can also bring up questions about safety, boundaries, and appropriateness. Social Media and Mentoring: Policies, Gaps, and Boundaries explores social media and networking options and provides space for dialogue to explore safety and ethical considerations.
This document discusses the use of social media in education. It notes that while students' personal lives increasingly involve technology, their school experiences often do not reflect this reality. The document then provides statistics on teenagers' and young adults' use of social networking sites and blogging. It establishes that social media can be used as tools for blogging, wikis, and social networking to connect people. However, it also notes issues like privacy and policies that arise. The document concludes by suggesting ways social media can be used to connect professionals and share knowledge to improve lives, and that students should learn for life regardless of available technology.
The study surveyed 1,800 Thai social media users over 5 days in July 2017 to understand social network usage in Thailand. It found that Facebook, YouTube and Instagram were the top 3 social networks used. Most respondents accessed social media via smartphones and spent an average of 2.34 hours per day on social networks. The top topics of interest were cooking, fashion and movies. The majority saw advertisements on social media and many purchased products they discovered through brand pages.
The document summarizes the findings of a survey of over 2,300 12-13 year old students regarding their online safety knowledge, behaviors, and education. Key findings include:
- 62% felt e-safety was important but only 42% thought about it often online
- 77% knew how to update privacy settings but only 67% had actually done so
- 44.9% found it easier to express themselves online, especially boys and gamers
- 90% received e-safety education at school focused on social media risks
- Only 40% would talk to a teacher about online concerns, 60% said no or unsure
- 19% had enforced time limits at home, 35% had no limits
-
1) An annual survey of over 1,500 youth found that approximately one-third reported being victims of internet harassment in the form of rude comments or rumors being spread about them online.
2) Youth who were victims of traditional bullying, spent more time online, were older, and came from wealthier families were more likely to be victims of internet harassment.
3) Approximately one-fifth of youth reported perpetrating internet harassment against others, mainly through rude comments or spreading rumors.
4) Youth who were traditional bullies, victims of internet harassment themselves, used alcohol, and had tendencies toward anger were more likely to perpetrate internet harassment.
Internet comme objet et moyen de recherche en sciences socialesOpenEdition
The document discusses two studies related to self-presentation online:
1) A study of 354 respondents who selected profile pictures for an online profile ranging from conventional to eccentric or nude images. The results showed most popular categories were modest (19%) and traditionally posed self-portraits (24%).
2) Analysis of political blog networks in France from 2007-2009 which looked at connections between blogs of different political affiliations. It found center, left and extreme left wing blogs had more internal connections while extreme right and libertarian blogs had more external connections.

44. Global positives
§ The new technology shrinks the
world. Geography is irrelevant
§ It creates new opportunities,
professionally and personally
§ It augments personal relationships
(Cooper, McLoughlin & Campbell, 2000)
§ It increases connection
45. Positives for Couples:

dating site (Huffington Post, 2010)
§ Builds connections with partner (Cooper, McLoughlin &
Campbell, 2000)
§ Can assist with conflict resolution

“real life” (Henline & Harris, 2006)
47. Global Negatives:

§ Approximately 20% of all Internet users report in
engaging in some sexual activity online (Cooper, Scherer
and Mathy, 2001)
§ Cybersex has major negative impact on relationships
(Cooper, Delmonico, & Burg, 2000; Barak and Fisher, 2002)

1999)
§ Boundary crossings more possible
§ Major factor for women in separation or divorce
(Schneider 2003)
§ Decrease in desire for relational sex

50. Online Infidelity
§ What is it? Ambiguous nature, differing
opinions
§ Those in committed relationships saw
online sexual chat and emotional
involvement with an online contact as being
unfaithful to the primary relationship (Henline,
Lamke & Howard, 2007)
§ Online betrayal = offline betrayal (Whitty, 2005)
§ A symptom of underlying issues (Young et al, 2000)
53. “Distraction is to an intimate
conversation as water is to fire.
To love, you must slow down; you
must attend to the other person.”
- Edward Hallowell, Married To Distraction, 2010
www.flickr.com/photos/limonada/167352047/sizes/o/in/photostream/
54. The Culture of Distraction in
The Age of Interruption
Hallowell, 2010
§ Attention = intimacy
§ Distraction interrupts the dance
§ We’re too busy to pay attention to loved
ones; difficult to get their full attention too
§ FAST FAST FAST = continuous partial
attention
§ The new pressure is to make time and pay
attention
56. “We look to the network to defend us
against loneliness even as we use it to
control the intensity of our connections.”
- Sherry Turkle, Alone Together, 2010
57. The Paradox of Technology and Connection
Turkle, 2010
§ We have many “friends”, but little connections
§ We want more connection, but also want easy
escape
§ Tech promises to free us up, but tethers us to it
§ Technology instead of community
§ Boundaries eroded between “real” life and
online life
§ “Crazy busy”
§ Relationships è mere connections è intimacy
§ “Cyberintimacies slide into cybersolitudes”
§ Off the grid, we feel adrift
58. How do we know when
technology is a
problem for our clients?
59. Need for Thorough Assessment
§ Only 20% of therapists ask their clients about
cybersex use (Goldberg et al., 2008)
§ Failure to ask can lead to significant omissions
in treatment planning and subsequent clinical
interventions (Goldberg et al., 2008)
§ There is a real need for simple tools to assess
the technology use of family members who are
coming for therapy treatment (Hertlein & Webster, 2008)
§ Proper assessment can break through “don’t
ask, don’t tell”
60. Assessment Tools
Facebook Compulsion Inventory
(Pile, 2009)
Internet Sex Screening Test/ISST
(Delmonico, 1999)
Use of Technology Questionnaire/UTQ
(Fay, 2011)
61. Boundaries and Expectations
§ Develop a mutually agreed-upon policy
§ Don’t say anything online you wouldn’t
say to your partner face to face
www.flickr.com/photos/stitch/272090142/sizes/o/in/photostream/
62. Questions for Couples to Consider when
Developing an Acceptable Use Plan (AUP)
1. How much time is acceptable to spend on social
networking sites? On technology in general?
2. Should we be friends on Facebook?
3. Do we link our profiles to show that we are
together?
4. Is it appropriate to share passwords?
5. Do we “friend” exes?

63. Sample Treatment Protocol for Internet Infidelity
• Assessment of what the infidelity was:
• intensity x frequency x duration
• Get the story from each point of view
• What need did it meet/what did it give
• What did it cost/steal/take
• Can they each see it from the other’s side?
• Mutually agreed-upon definition of infidelity
• Regret?
• Relationship history: how did we get here?
• Assessment of commitment to relationship and to
therapy
• Goals – what do we want our relationship to look
like?
64. Moving Forward
• With a clear picture of new relationship in mind
• Plan for new commitment to connection through
transparency
• Communication:
• Frequent
• Face-to-face
• As a top priority
• Technology-free times together
• Freedom to bring up fears, concerns – building
on therapy gains
65. Communication
• Levels of Intimacy handout
• Couples confidentiality handout
66. New Boundaries Around Relationship
• Discussion of “real life” boundaries
• Discussion of online boundaries
• Acceptable Use Plan for technology
• Mutually agreed-upon (no parent-child)
• Times used
• Password sharing
• Facebook boundaries (status, chat, wall,
privacy, friends)
• No secret computers
• Conceptualized as externalizing threats to
couple – more time in the “new” = more trust
67. Using Technology to
Build Up the Relationship
• Assess if this is too difficult, too charged
• Can we “untaint” it and take technology back?
• Secret email accounts to build sexual tension
• PAIRS app
• Intimate texts
• Facebook
• Online marriage support sites (Power of Two)
68. More
windows
equals more
opportunities
for our
clients to
see,
understand,
and love
each other
