 1. Summary


I read some material that tells me about the correlation between technology and sociology. Technology is a set of methods or processes used to produce goods or services or to achieve goals such as scientific investigations. It can be knowledge of technology, processes, etc., or it can be built into machines, computers, devices, and factories, which can be operated by individuals without detailed knowledge of the operation of such things. Technology refers mainly to knowledge that drives production, but the product of technology is often referred to as technology because it can promote the production of a product or service or help it achieve its goals.


2. What I learned


While there are many benefits to social networks, such as developing business networks or maintaining contact with friends and family who live far away, one criticism of social networks is that they provide a history of unpleasant behavior that can cause problems in an individual's life. Recent studies have shown that these individuals do not want to feel alienated from social groups that are important to them, which may be because they do the same type of behavior and post photos on social networks as proof of their behavior. Another concern for social networks is that they take time away from other activities, such as work or studying


3. Question


Just because interaction in social networks is digital does not mean that inequality that exists in the general world does not exist in social networks either.


What is the inequality on social networks in your opinion?

    Some social networking platforms may lack features or content targeted at specific age groups. This may result in certain age groups making less use of social networks or having less access to information. Additionally, some social networks may prioritize marketing or advertising toward younger audiences, which may make it difficult to increase engagement or interest among other age groups. These phenomena may further deepen the age-related digital divide.

 1. Summary Arnett described the goal of socialization as follows. 1. Impulse control and development of conscience. 2. Preparing and performing roles, including professional roles, gender roles, and roles in institutions such as marriage and parental roles. 3. The source of meaning, the cultivation of what is important, valuable, and to live. Socialization is the process of preparing humans to function in social life. Socialization is relative to culture and does not force evaluation judgments. Since socialization is the adoption of culture, it differs from culture to culture and from subculture to culture. It should be noted that socialization is a key sociological process in the development of individuals who can function in human society, but not all aspects of human behavior are learned. Socialization is generally divided into two parts. Primary socialization occurs early in life in childhood and adolescence. Secondary socialization refers to socialization that occurs througho...

Week14.2 （6.7Fri）Introduction to Sociology/Technology, the Internet, and Virtual Worlds （YANGPEIFU）

  1. Summary Technology encompasses the techniques, methods, and processes used to produce goods or services and achieve various objectives. It includes knowledge of these processes and their application in machines and devices. A prominent example is mobile phones, which have transformed communication by eliminating the need for direct telephone lines and altering social norms and behaviors. Social networks, while beneficial for maintaining connections, can also perpetuate objectionable behaviors and gender inequalities. Video gaming, engaged by a significant portion of the population, offers benefits such as enhanced visual attention but poses potential health and behavioral risks for a small subset of users. Technology significantly impacts society, influencing communication, social interactions, and individual behavior. The pros and cons of social networks are self-evident. Although they can facilitate the development of business networks and connections with distant friends an...

Extra point D) Science & Futurism with Isaac Arthur 노주

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDb01ggyDfo   When we go to another planet to carry on the exchange of civilizations, not only the exchange of cultures but also the clash of cultures. Alien civilizations across the galaxy capture individuals of some young species that have not yet reached the interstellar stage, cultivate them, modify them to make them live longer, immune to disease, etc., and spread them to any colonizable world. When their home planet began their first interplanetary symbiosis, they formed a bond with each other. Civilization is through the exchange of technology and the clash and collision of cultures. What is heartening is the impact of ascension on the role of the original species in the ecosystem, and given the ascending creatures and humans, utilitarians may favor ascension if the result is the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Inspiring ethics is a complex and multifaceted issue. It requires careful consideration of potential benefits and har...
