 What is It

LET’S READ TO LEARN!

Let’s Delve into ICT

The term “internet” was first introduced in 1974 and internet is an

abbreviation of the words “inter-networking”. The term “Internet and
Communication Technology” has been used by researchers in the 1980s, but
only became widely used in the 90s after a report to the British government by
Dennis Stevenson.

Information and Communication Technology enables the various

forms of communication that we enjoy today, for instance, the internet which
paved the way for social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organizations (UNESCO), Information and Communication Technology or ICT
is the collective term that refers to:
...the tools and the processes to access retrieve, store, organize,
manipulate, produce, present and exchange information by electronic and
other automated means. These include hardware, software and
telecommunications in the forms of personal computers, scanners, digital
cameras, phones, faxes, modern CD and DVD players and recorders,
digitized video, radio, and TV programmes and multimedia programmes.

Information and Communication Technologies are mechanism that help

us in transmitting, receiving, storing, accessing and processing
information through electronic media. This definition enables us to include
computers and telecommunication devices while conveniently excluding
printers media such as books, magazine and newspapers, yet admits their
digital versions such as e-books and e- journals, among others.

Developments in ICT have put most part of the world within reach of
information dissemination and connectivity. This enables us to relatively fast -
track many researches, procedures and processes that need real-time and up-
to-date information to accomplish which results in us having a lot of the things
that we are able to enjoy today and make our lives easier. From cures to
common illness, day-to-day weather forecast, stock market predictions foreign
films, global news, to the most viral Youtube Video to-date; ICT has influenced
our lives in numerous ways.

 What is It

READING to REMEMBER!
Social Relationships and Social Media
From the Insider article written by Kelly Burch, social media can foster genuine
relationships and it allows people to connect in any ways and it can often expand people's
social circles. Kathryn Moore, Ph.D., a psychologist says you can connect with those
people in similar situations and share worries, fears, and celebrations. Up to 64% of teens
report they have made a new friend online, and 83% of teens report that social
media makes them feel more connected with their friends.
Social media can negatively affect relationships when you start comparing yourself
to other people, including your friends, just based on their social media accounts, Moore
says. For example, some may fear their lives aren't as good as their friends' and withdraw
from friendships because they feel they're not good enough.
That impact on self-esteem and isolation is part of the reason that increased social
media usage has been associated with depressive symptoms. If you're constantly
comparing your life to a picture-perfect image that others put forth on social media, you
might not feel good about yourself, and you may be more likely to develop depression.

The Impact of Technology on People’s Social Relationships

1. Bringing People Together
The primary issue that many people faced only two decades ago was
communication. All of us were limited to a close set of people with whom we could
communicate.
2. Easier 0rganization of Communities
It’s not only we can communicate with a single person, but it is possible to create
group chats where you can exchange messages with both small and big groups of people.
3. Birth of New Issues in Face-to-Face Communication
While being able to communicate with people online has improved social
relationships significantly, there are some issues with face-to-face communication. This
also causes frustration in different social circles, especially if we are referring to quality
family time
Social Relations and Technology: Continuity, Context, and Change
1. The Convoy Model of Social Relations
The convoy model was developed to specify the scientific study of social relations by
detailing the antecedent factors influencing social relations (personal and situational),
identifying multiple dimensions of social relations, and illustrating how these factors
influence health and well-being (Antonucci, 2001).
2. Population Demographic Shifts
Technological advances have occurred within the context of broader demographic
changes, including shifts in mortality, fertility, mobility, and marital patterns (Bianchi,
2014).
3. Intergenerational Relations
Families are changing such that intergenerational ties, especially those across
more than two generations, are becoming increasingly salient (Antonucci, Jackson, &
Biggs, 2007; Bengtson, 2001; Swartz, 2009).
4. Immigrant Aging
New and varied ways to communicate across geographic distances have created a
world of possibilities for immigrants. The advent of communication technologies such as
Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, and FaceTime (among others), has made the ability to connect
with close others who are geographically distant almost effortless.

11
 5. Marital Patterns
A population trend that has widespread implications for how older adults use
technology is the heterogeneity of marital statuses, including “gray divorce” (i.e., divorce
after the age of 50; Brown & Lin, 2013) and never married older adults (Cooney &
Dunne, 2001).
6. Social Relations and Health
New technologies have been found to directly influence health due to the
possibilities they generate to better connect with others. New ways to create and sustain
social relations may represent viable alternative sources for developing a sense of
community in situations where mobility is limited or restricted.
7. Social Support, Intervention, and Technology
Innovative uses of technology have been applied to create social support
interventions that maximize good health and well-being. Use of the Internet has opened
new avenues for enhancing social support for older adults, especially to address the
threat of social isolation and loneliness.

 What is It
LET’S BE INFORMED!

Politics and Social Media

Politics and social unrest have been around since man first
gathered into groups in order to survive. Someone always wants to be in
charge, and someone is always unhappy with the way things are. Leaders
have always used private or public communication tools and propaganda
to gain or maintain power, and those who oppose them have always used
the same to overcome them when necessary (et tu, Brute?). The printing
press brought information to the masses in the 1500s. The postal service
moved things a step further in early American history. Today, those same
ideas have been continued with Twitter, Facebook, and blogs.

The difference today, with instant communication possible on a

global scale through email, IM, and social media, is that these things
happen much faster, and often much more effectively. With the near
ubiquitous nature and adoption of social media and online information
dissemination in general, being able to monitor that activity is more
important than ever for both sides of the equation - the leaders and the
people.

This can be a liberating force for good and freedom, but there is
also a dark side as authoritarian governments - and frighteningly, many
who claim to be for freedom - use the same tools to monitor their citizens
for any dissent in order to clamp down and maintain control.

Social and Political Movement

A social movement is a loosely organized effort by a large group of
people to achieve a particular goal, typically a social or political one. This
may be to carry out, resist or undo a social change. It is a type of group
action and may involve individuals, organizations or both.

Aberle's Four Types of Social and Political Movements: redemptive,

reformative, revolutionary and alternative.

Political Movements in the Philippines: Communism in the

Philippines, Environmentalism in the Philippines, Federalism in the
Philippines, Islamism in the Philippines, Left-wing politics in the
Philippines, Filipino nationalism, Separatism in the Philippines, Socialism
in the Philippines.

What is It

READING TIME!
The Core Rules of Netiquette
According to Virginia Shea, a prominent lecturer at the University of
Carolina published a book called “Netiquette”. The 10 rules are as:
Rule 1: Remember the human
The golden rule must apply even in the cyberspace. You do not see the facial
expressions of a person. When communicating with a person, especially with a
stranger, always ask the question: “Would you say it to the person’s face?”
19
Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behaviour online that you follow in
real life.
You should not change your persona whenever you are in front of the
screen.
Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace.
There are different areas or domains in the cyberspace and the type of
people also vary. The culture or self- imposed rules (on posting) varies on different
websites. This is prevalent in forum boards and on social media services where
anyone can comment.
Rule 4: Respect other people’s time and bandwidth.
Rule 5: Make yourself look good online.
You will mostly be judged for your writing, so read and read in order to make
comments and messages with good spelling and grammar.
Rule 6: Share expert knowledge.
The internet was founded on the idea that scientist wanted to share their
knowledge. Do not be afraid to tell what you know.
Rule 7: Help keep flame wars under control.
Be a referee and know how to control other people’s emotions.
Rule 8: Respect other people’s privacy.
Do not snoop into other people’s private accounts, especially their files and,
messages. This is prevalent when phone has been stolen or when an account has
been left logged on a public computer, such as library.
Rule 9: Don’t abuse your power.
Just because you know other things does not mean you are superior.
Rule 10: Be forgiving of other people’s mistakes.
If you notice a mistake, correct it in a very polite manner.
