some questions for upgrading
Unit 1: social networks
Tell me about how you use social networks and how you use them for
I use social media mainly for 3 purpose, commnicating, learning and sharing.
communicating
- wechat
For example, most people including me, we use wechat to send text,voices or vedios to each other, to friends and our parents, just to contact each other. For example ,telling our parents what we ate for dinner, what intersting things we met,any something like that. - Dingtalk
The second social media is DingTalk, DingTalk of a social application for especially for company business. Almost every work day, we use dingtalk to talk to our collegus, only for business things. but not for personal things or something about amusements, because i have wechat for that.
learning
you know, there are many wechat official/public account for some ORG, companys or celebrities. everyday these accounts will push some news about their products, their ideas or something interesting. I like these news and articles. 10 years ago, most people read newspapers to learn news, read paper books to learn new knowlege, but nowerdays, they are learning online, use social medias can help us get the newwest news and knowlege easily and quickly. That’s efficient.
sharing or recording
I have built a personal blog for myself, just to record some useful things, for example, we i am reading a new book, if there are some attitudes or ideas which touch me or which is very useful from my perspective, i usually record them in my blog so that i can review them easily. And sometimes i will share these links to my wife, my friends of share them in some wechat goups. sharing makes people happy.
How do you present your self on social media , is it a true version of yourself.
I always try to present on social media the same guy as what i am in reallity, and i think it’s nearly the true version of myself. but you know, one guy on social network can not be 100 person the same as what you are in real life. Because the social media or the internet is something like a mask, it helps hide something of yourself.
How do you commincate with diffrent people you know ? Why is it different for different people.
I think it is an easy but meaningful question, as everyone knows, we can not open all the doors with the same key. so when it comes to communicate with others, it’s just like to open the door of there heart. it is the same principle. you can not use the same way to communiate with different people.
And for me, there is only one princinple for me when it comes to communicating with others:
personality
Most time if you want to communicate with others happiy, you need to make them feel relaxed or safe, so you should use different ways to express yourself: for example ,for sensitive people, you should consider using soften words or sentence avoiding hurt them unintentionally; but for someone whom you know very well and yo are familiar with each other , you can express your ideas directlly, but it should not be a rude way.
How do social network influence the way we communicate ?
I think we can answer this question from two points:
Location/Space
The first one is that it change the location we communicate with each other, in the past when i was in my village of hometown, and you were on the street of NY city, it’s impossible for us to talk to each other, but now , we can communite with wechat easily, you tell me there is a celebrity standing within 100 meters of youself, and i tell you that the mother pig in my backyard is giving birth to the tenth baby pigs. That’s the internet, that’s the difference.
real time conversation
In the past if i want to express some of my attitude to you which will take more than half an hour, we usually need to write a long letter to each other which would come to us serval week later, but now, with social media, we can talk to each other online, with any time delays
How does social media affect our realationship
Firstly, the social media makes it easier for us to communiate, anytime anywhere you can send a text, a phote, a voice or a vedio to your friends, but on the other side, it make a little distance btw our realationship, because texts, photoes and even voics are cold, i mean you can hardly feel the emotion of another one on the social media, when you are talking to your friends face to face, there are more than words, you can get more informatoin from their poses, their face, even their smell. that’s the things lost by the new social media.
Do you ever think about your online footprint ? what do you do to minimise it ? Do you think it is important?
Yes of cuse personal footprint online is very important, we should use less personal names ,phone numbers on the internet, in case of that some bad guys may detect those information, and cheat your family members. or do something harmful to you. So, if it is possible,
anonymously
speak or post message on the internet anonymousely
keep in mind to protect yourselve information
do you post too many personal information like names, or photos
