BULLIES OR FRIENDS?

Bullies or Friends? 
Written by Shamninder Sahota
Friendships come with all kinds of bullying as well. Some soft tone humors, others which go really bad leading in hate crimes as we all hear on the news so many times. In 2030, bullying can and will become an issue, as we all would be on social media and impacting each other’s life would become even more easy. 
Cyber bullying is a whole new prospective, it nor only involves the use of unkind words against someone on a social media platform but also involves sending out viruses, or sharing someone’s private information without consent etc. (CCOHS, 2018) As computers as becoming a part of every medium like our refrigerators, our digital security cameras, stoves etc., remember all of them can be hacked by a tech genius living in the other part of the world (Diaz, 2017). As the technology advances, people would be more trained in Technology as well, therefore, the ability of them becoming bullies is going to be high as well. 
Friends may remain the same in 2030, but sometimes unknowingly the information of another person may be passed on to the wrong source due to the widespread of social media, therefore, proving unnecessary bullying of someone innocent.

WOULD SOCIAL MEDIA THE ONLY WAY TO MEET FRIENDS IN 2030?

Would social media the only way to meet friends in 2030? Written by Fernanda Araya. Nowadays, we make friends in the real world and on social media, but it seems that in the future, this trend might change. One of the biggest social media platforms predicts that “Facebook will have 5 billion users by 2030” (Shah, 2016). This prediction might indicate that future generations would prefer virtual connections rather than real ones. We can assume that they would create powerful campaigns to promote virtual connections in the year 2030. Social media left one key component out related to friendship, which is trust, and according to Botsman, trust is “the glue that holds society together” (Botsman, 2017). So, according to this information, we don’t know how these relationships are going to prevail with time. It might be that future generations will have superficial relationships, and they probably might value other elements in friendship, changing the concept altogether. ...

SOCIAL SKILLS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND ITS IMPACTS ON FRIENDSHIPS IN 2030

SOCIAL SKILLS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND IMPACTS ON FRIENDSHIPS IN 2030 Written by: Valéria Santos On previous posts, we’ve discussed about some challenges of interpersonal communication on social media such as the lack of non-verbal cues and how this affects the forming of relationships, we’ve made connections between the lack of cues on social media and conflicts, discussed empathy and how it affects adjusting behaviour and talked about how social media can help more introverted people interact and make friends online.

We believe that social media is a very popular and convenient means of communicating and interacting with other people. However, when we think of the quality and how meaningful the connections we make are, we see that something is being left out.   Hanke (2018) suggests that social media “ changes our ability to interact ...
