Social Media - SM101

Can you live without "Social Media"?

The impact of Social Media on the mental health of seniors, adults, teens, and children varies greatly.   The amount of time spent on social media and the individual dependency on social media connects each person to something that their brain wants.

Is the use of Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Netflix, or Twitter addictive?   Who benefits from Social Media?  Who are Social Media Criminals?  When to use Social Media at school, work, and home.

 

Because of the Internet, the world feels different: 

It is now a fact that people are now unable to control how much time they spend online.  What once was done on paper, is now done completely online without human interaction. 

Non-Addictive Behavior:  Thus it is now a fact that being constantly online is not addictive behavior.  Being always online can be directly related to paper documents, books, magazines, tabloids, radio, and television has become obsolete information sources and antiquated tools of yesterday.  To get something done, you have to be online.

UNIVERSITY.edu - Everyone and Everything is Googled

The internet is filled with Garbage and Contamination, but people and businesses are more concerned with and influenced by the NUMBERS.

Facebook’s quantification  – the number of friends, fans, and comments on photos.

Twitter’s numeric – how many followers you currently have and recently with the new lists feature, “how many lists you are on”.

LinkedIn’s measurement is the number of connections, searches, and views on your profile.

YouTube’s numbers – video views, video ratings, and comments.

Blog - quantification is comments, backlinks, Google page rank, and subscribers.

Flickr –  How many people had viewed their photos? How many found them interesting?

 

The need for;

Personal Social Media Training..!

 

Social Media Numbers:  Keeping Score results in Winners and Losers...

Students, Friends, Coworkers, and Family:  Social Media training improves word usage and the tone of your communications.  This training can take away the humiliation, stigma, bite, punch, and sting associated with mentally influential numbers generated from social media feedback.  This social media training will also examine you as a product of Social Media and how your presence and behavior on it impacts your family, friends, classmates, coworkers, and the places where you do or conduct your business.

Schools, Businesses, Organizations, Employers, and Government Agencies:  Social Media users are aware that more than 58 percent of employers conduct social screenings to look for information supporting a candidate's qualifications for the job, 50 percent want to ensure the candidate has a professional online persona, and 34 percent want to see what other people are posting about the candidate.  This class presents managers, supervisors, and employees with universal Social Media Awareness and Sensitivity Training.
