presentation for class social impact of technology

1. Technology is going to Ruin
the World
Social Impact of Technology

2. Introdruction
 Technology has improved many peoples quality of
life in so many ways, but also has many negative
effects.
 The goal of this presentation is to raise awareness
on two main negative effects
 The first is Privacy
 The second is Distraction

3. Privacy (cell phones)
 Technology has significantly reduced peoples
privacy some examples are:
 Cell phones have made it easy to take videos or
pictures of people in times they may not want their
actions to be scene. They also have made it very
easy for word to travel. A new issue is bullying by
text
 Also they have become a constant connection to
social media making it easy to upload pictures of
people to facebook or twitter etc.

4. Distraction (cell phones)
 Cell phones have become a major distraction in peoples
lives
 Many motor vehicle accidents are caused by people
driving distracted texting or talking on their phones.
Enough so that we now require a law against it, yet
people continue to do it.
 People walking across roads in parking lots are also not
paying attention to their surroundings because they have
their eyes glued to their phones
 Even in school many people are distracted by their cell
phones

5. Cell Phone Facts
 In 2011 23% of crashes involved cell phones (1.3
million)
 Text Bully’s are often much meaner because they
don’t see their victims
 Sexting is actually against the law and can result in
child pornography charges to the sender and
recipient(s).

7. Privacy (internet)
 The Internet has greatly reduced peoples privacy.
 Anything put on the internet is never truly deleted.
 The internet also gives other people a way to access
personal information. A great recent example of this
is the bleeding heart hack, which caused revenue
canada to shut down its site.
 Last the internet is also another easy way for people
to bully one another because anything can be said
behind a computer.

8. Distractions (internet)
 The internet can be a very distracting
 Many younger children spend way to much time
playing games on the internet instead of playing
outside
 People spend a lot of time on facebook and twitter
instead of doing work they should be completing.
For example in the library at the college.

9. Internet Facts
 Approximately 56% of people used Facebook in
2013 and that number is still rising
 1 in 3 teens/adolescents have experienced cyber
bullying
 Approximately 1.5 million U.S residents are victims
of identity fraud online every year, which accounts
for upwards of 50 billion dollars in financial loss

11. Conclusion
 In my opinion these two technologies are not going to
ruin the world. My point with this presentation is that it
has changed the way people are and interact with
eachother. Bad people would do bad things anyway but
the internet has just given people another tool to do
things that will ruin peoples lives (hackers). Cell phones
are not bad themselves as well, it is also just the context
they are used. Imagine someone who killed another
person texting and driving, that ruins many peoples
lives.
 Technology may not “ruin the world” per say but it has
and will continue to ruin the way people act and treat
others.
