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.

LACK OF NON-VERBAL CUES ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND ITS IMPACT ON RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN 2030

LACK OF NON-VERBAL CUES ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND ITS IMPACT ON RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN 2030 Written by: Valéria Santos Social media has revolutionized communication and the way we interact with people. While on one hand, social media has afforded more possibilities for interaction and reconnecting with people you no longer have face-to-face contact with, social media hasn’t been able to allow users to use important components of in-person communication which favor interpersonal connections and relationships development (Venter, 2019). While we explore some of the ideas regarding interpersonal communication on social media and its relation to the establishment of friendships, we examine current social media contexts and technology available nowadays and make correlations with what we anticipate in the coming years, especially in 2030.

HOW PEOPLE PORTRAY THEMSELVES ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND HOW THIS AFFECTS FRIENDSHIP

HOW PEOPLE PORTRAY THEMSELVES ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND HOW THIS AFFECTS FRIENDSHIP Written by: Fernanda Araya Technology is helping people with making relationships without the need for physical contact; in many ways, people get benefits from the use of social media. One of the benefits would be “For shy people and those seeking new friends, social networking provides an easy way to make the first overture of friendship. By simply clicking the “add friend” button, people can convey that they’re interested in getting to know someone, reducing a traditional barrier to friendship.” (Villines, 2012, para 5). But social media also allows us to create two versions of ourselves and sometimes our online profile is an upgraded version of who we are. This difference might affect friendship in the long term since people might start questioning which one is the real you. This type of pressure can be easily perceived when users begin “editing, censoring, and embellishing the tru
