September 2030 . The early 2020s were full of dramatic turning points in global history.

Powerful new technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, the internet of things and the metaverse upended traditional systems, institutions and ways of life. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-22 accelerated these trends as people everywhere moved much of their lives online. The pandemic also exposed deep problems in our governments and systems for everything from supply chains to public health data.

Moreover, the early 2020s were jolted by political upheaval. Notably, in January 2021, the American election was challenged, exacerbating deep fissures in the United States and emboldening populists and extremists around the world. The Russian invasion of Ukraine, global sanctions and significant disruptions to food supplies further convulsed the global economy and exacerbated tensions. These challenges, among others, created a perfect storm and resulted in extraordinary social anxiety and unrest.

Fortunately, a miracle of sorts occurred. Driven by a deep hope for a brighter future, people everywhere began to reimagine the relationship between government and civil society, ushering in a new societal framework for the digital age. This was not some kind of academic process but rather the result of mass mobilizations around broad change.

Reflecting on the digital age

Today, looking back a decade, let’s examine seven key improvements that stemmed from this period of positive change:

1. New models of prosperity and work

Given the bifurcation of wealth and structural unemployment in many economies engendered by the new digital age, expectations of employment shifted, with people understanding that the private sector cannot provide jobs and prosperous life for all. New rules and regulations were instituted that created a strong social safety net for workers. These reforms helped mitigate the gross inequality that plagued the early years of the 21 st century. New technologies also brought more underserved people into the global economy and readied workers for lifelong learning.

2. New models of digital identity

New regulations allowed individuals to own and benefit from the digital data they create. This ended the era of “digital feudalism,” which was characterised by a centralized group of “digital landlords” who collected, aggregated and profited from the data that collectively constituted our digital identities. Furthermore, Web3 gave people the ability to harvest their data trail and use it to plan their lives, enhancing their prosperity and protecting their privacy.

3. More informed digital age society

Through public and private partnerships, media systems were rebuilt in ways that safeguarded independence and free speech. New tools were implemented that enabled citizens to track the veracity and provenance of information. This helped reduce the ability of bad-faith actors to spread false information about everything from climate change to public health. Clear rules were also set that ensured large media companies were prohibited from supporting hate on their platforms in the digital age. These reforms helped us rebuild public education systems to ensure that every young person can function fully, not just as a worker or entrepreneur, but as a citizen. Media literacy programs were also introduced into schools to help young people develop their capabilities to handle the onslaught of information and discern the truth.

4. Renewed trust in government and democracy

Innovative technologies and other modern reforms enabled us to create a new era of democracy based on public deliberation, transparency, active citizenship and accountability. Technology also helped to embed electoral promises into smart contracts that allowed citizens to track and engage in their democracies through the mobile platforms they use every day. These reforms helped boost trust in politicians and the legitimacy of our governments as leaders are now more beholden to the people and not the powerful interests that funded their campaigns in the years prior. Moreover, these improvements helped stifle radical populists and extreme politicians on both the right and left.

5. A new commitment to justice

It was clear that new technologies exacerbated racial divides, so governments and organisations throughout civil society committed to ending racial inequities. In the United States, action was taken to end the era of mass incarceration and the financial hamstringing of minority groups. The criminal subjection of indigenous peoples as evidenced by Canada’s “Residential School System” was also readdressed. These steps helped move racism, class oppression and subjugation of all peoples into the dustbin of history, along with those who perpetrate these vile relics of the past. The reforms also went past the tropes about bad apples and forgiveness. They recognized that racism and oppression are systemic and must be addressed society-wide.

6. A deep commitment to sustainability

Through major reforms, the world is now on track to reduce carbon emissions by 90% by the year 2050. The new digital age enabled billions of people to collaborate and mobilize to fight climate change. This included not just governments but businesses large and small, commuters, vacationers, employees, students, consumers – everyone – from every walk of life. Public pressure and new regulations have also forced business executives to participate responsibly in the reindustrialization of our planet and embrace carbon pricing.

7. Global interdependence

The crises of the past decade—the COVID-19 pandemic, the political legitimacy crisis, the war in Ukraine and the climate catastrophes—demonstrated that no country could succeed fully in a world that is in trouble. And while significant national differences remain, countries have embraced common interests and an understanding of a common fate. The new way of thinking also allowed governments, companies and NGOs to better organise around solving major problems like public health, education, social justice, environmental stability and peace.

These positive changes did not bring about a utopia. But they were improvements—and ones that were achieved through bottom-up struggle.

Victor Hugo said there is nothing so powerful as an idea whose time has come. In our case, there was nothing so powerful as ideas that had become necessities.

The World Economic Forum’s Platform for Shaping the Future of Digital Economy and New Value Creation helps companies and governments leverage technology to develop digitally-driven business models that ensure growth and equity for an inclusive and sustainable economy.

The Digital Transformation for Long-Term Growth programme is bringing together industry leaders, innovators, experts and policymakers to accelerate new digital business models that create the sustainable and resilient industries of tomorrow.
The Forum’s EDISON Alliance is mobilizing leaders from across sectors to accelerate digital inclusion . Its 1 Billion Lives Challenge harnesses cross-sector commitments and action to improve people’s lives through affordable access to digital solutions in education, healthcare, and financial services by 2025.

This article is abridged from an major essay written by Don Tapscott called “A Declaration of Interdependence: Towards a New Social Contract for the Digital Age” and a recent short essay entitled “ Why We Built a Social Contract for the New Digital Age.”

Don Tapscott is author of 16 widely read books about technology in business and society, including the best-seller Blockchain Revolution , which he co-authored with his son Alex. His most recent book is Platform Revolution: Blockchain Technology as the Operating System of the Digital Age. He is Co-Founder of the Blockchain Research Institute , an Adjunct Professor at INSEAD, and Chancellor Emeritus of Trent University in Canada. He is a Member of the Order of Canada and drafted a framework for “ A New Social Contract for the Digital Economy.”

How the Digital Age Is Affecting Students

Five books that give insight into how social media and technology are shaping today’s students and their learning.

Teachers don’t have to look far to see how changes in technology and social media are shaping students and influencing classrooms. We watch kids obsess over the latest apps as they chat before class. We marvel at the newest slang edging its way into student essays, and wonder at the ways constant smartphone communication is shaping students’ friendships, bullying, and even study habits.

To understand the internet-savvy students who fill our classrooms and the changing landscape of social media they inhabit, we need more than hot new gadgets or expensive educational software. The book list below is a starting point if you’re looking for insight into how the digital age is shaping students and ideas about how you can respond in the classroom.

Each book was chosen for its combination of research, story, and applicability to the classroom. Grab one or two to help you invent new strategies to reach students or reimagine your application of technology in your classroom.

Social Media

If you’ve ever wondered what students are doing with all their time on the internet, It’s Complicated: The Social Lives of Networked Teens is for you. Author danah boyd dissects how and why kids rush to the online world. Using student interviews and stories, boyd describes the ways youngsters use social media to connect, escape, and eke out a little privacy away from their parents and teachers. She includes a chapter on how the internet has shaped young people’s understanding of personal and public spaces. Read this book if you want to help students optimize the knowledge and skills they already have as digital natives.

A clinical psychologist and researcher at MIT, Sherry Turkle isn’t against the smartphones our students love so much. But she is worried that the obsession with phones—and the texting and social media posting they enable—is impacting in-person discussion and deep conversation. In her book Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age , Turkle claims that students’ communication skills have changed. Her suggestions for taking back in-person conversation in a digital world can shape collaborative classrooms and guide teachers on how to help students improve peer-to-peer interactions.

Social media and the free flow of information have also influenced the language we use every day. In A World Without ‘Whom’: The Essential Guide to Language in the Buzzfeed Age , Emmy Favilla lays out a case for language shaped by the internet. This entertaining and informative 2017 book is peppered with pop culture examples ready for use in class, though like all pop culture references they’ll quickly become dated. Favilla’s writing is pragmatic; she offers advice on where to hold the line on traditional language and when readability and appeal to a new generation might be more important. As Favilla puts it, “We’re all just trying to be heard here.” The book is a timely reminder that social-media-fueled language innovation deserves some classroom discussion.

If you’re eager to understand larger trends affecting young students, pick up Jean Twenge’s iGen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy—and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood . Drawing from large data sets and longitudinal studies, Twenge examines everything from SAT scores to rates of loneliness. Her research-heavy book offers helpful hints about the impact of technology and other cultural changes. Read this book if you want to brainstorm about how to adapt classes and school structures to meet student needs. To bring students in on the conversation, consider using Twenge’s easy-to-read graphs as discussion kick-starters or as a way to provide historical context to current trends.

If you want to reimagine the way computers and video games might be used in the classroom, check out David Williamson Shaffer’s book How Computer Games Help Children Learn . A professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Shaffer believes that video games can help schools foster creative thinking, problem solving, and strategic decision making. After all, making mistakes and trying out innovative strategies are less risky in a game than in real life. And even reluctant learners will often dive eagerly into video games. A lot has changed since the book’s publication in 2007, but its ideas—about what students can learn from video games, how video games engage students, and what issues to avoid—can guide you toward thoughtful, effective video game use.

Our students are steeped in the internet, social media, and all types of technological innovations, and it’s time for schools and teachers to carefully examine how these things interact with curriculum and learning.

There are a variety of topics to consider regarding learning within a digital age and this textbook does a thorough job elevating topics. The lack of comprehensiveness for this textbook happens because you will find that the author of an included essay will either stay at a surface level explanation or will move through theory, definition, and application within the essay.

Content Accuracy rating: 5

Due to the variety of topics that emerge as educators navigate learning within a digital age, the reader has a first-hand glimpse of what to expect and possible next steps. From elevating play, to financial literacy development, to digital literacy, the authors share both research and anecdotes for consideration when facilitating learning in a digital age.

Relevance/Longevity rating: 5

The impact of a digital world is ever-present within today's classrooms. As the author states, we are presented with an opportunity to refine and elevate how we are impacted by the digital age as well as how we navigate it systematically to deepen learning.

Clarity rating: 5

There is a good balance between theoretical and practical language for both content and application strategies.

Some essays dive deeper into theory and application than others. Depending on the subject that the reader may feel most drawn to, they may not have a full learning experience themselves if they got a surface level essay in one area versus another.

Modularity rating: 5

Easy to read, content is accessible, essays can function as supplements to larger bodies of work around the essay topic.

Organization/Structure/Flow rating: 4

The essays elevated within the text are varied and the feel is that you are jumping from topic to topic with a lack of connection between topics.

text is clear, easy to read, graphics are supportive and easy to understand

No grammatical errors found

Cultural Relevance rating: 2

Texts reads as "race-neutral," with lack of acknowledgment of the impact of navigating digital literacies across race and culture. The board game chapter speaks of "Africa" as if it's just one country, not an entire continent made up of multiple and nuanced societies. The podcasting chapter references Maslow, who stole his framework from the Blackfoot Nation. Navigating the digital age could be an equalizer within culturally responsive classrooms but this text lacks what is needed to support educators to do so.

Comprehensiveness rating: 3 see less

It might be helpful to include one chapter focusing on learning theories (e.g., Cognitive Development, Behaviorism, Constructivism) and another one on learner styles/preferences/characteristics if the vision of this textbook is to understand learning and help learners/stakeholders learn how to learn in the digital age. What is covered in the textbook now seems too broad to be used as an intact piece for an instructional purpose. No index/glossary was provided. It might be helpful to add one.

Most of the content is accurate.

Content is recent. With the current setup, it should work well for the author to update the content when needed.

Clarity rating: 3

The abstract of each chapter is helpful to get a snap judgment of what the author attempted to deliver. But not every chapter has it following a consistent format within the same textbook. The text is easy to understand and follow. As a whole, the target audience is not clearly stated since it’s a textbook for people to use in the class.

Consistency rating: 2

The internal consistency within each chapter looks good. But the improvements could be made on the internal consistency between chapters. Learning in the digital age is a broad subject. Now, the textbook seems like a potluck containing different contributing pieces. The correlation between chapters is not explicit to tell. As a reader, I have to go to each chapter and read the abstract to do jigsaw puzzles on my own rather than reviewing the chapter names at a glance from the table of contents to draw a quick picture as a whole.

Some chapters have a fairly long length (e.g., 25 pages, single-space), the others do not. It might be helpful to reach a balance between chapters by informing the chapter authors about the word limit when calling out for book chapter proposals. The headings used in each chapter are helpful for navigation.

Definitely, some work can be done to improve the organization of this textbook. Since this textbook is a work-in-progress product, the organization of all chapters can be reconsidered when more chapters are coming in. For example, some chapters (e.g., Chapter 2) focused on K-12 settings, others related to higher education. It might be helpful to regroup these chapters based on some parameters (e.g., institution type).

Interface rating: 3

Navigation is good within this textbook. Just want to point out that some chapters contained content that is not ADA compliant. For example, a URL link is NOT descriptive and is used as hyperlinked text directly. Additionally, the images used in the chapters are not attributed to the original author in a proper manner and follow the same format.

The grammar looks good.

Not detect anything.

About the book.

This book is designed to serve as a textbook for classes exploring the nature of learning in the digital age. The genesis of this book is a desire to use OERs in all my teachings, coupled with the realization that the resources that I was looking for were not available and as such I needed to contribute in creating them. It is thus a small attempt to contribute to the vast repository of Open Educational Resources. When discussing learning in the digital age, most focus on the technology first. However, the emphasis made in this book is that it’s about the learner not just the technology. One of the things that is easy to lose track of when talking about learning in the digital age is the learner. Technology is important and it has significant impact but it is still about the person who is using the technology. Many people conflate learning in the digital age with technology in today’s age. This important misconception is common and results from our failure to examine our understanding of what “learning” really is. Of course, Most of this depends on a person’s epistemology. There are numerous definitions of what learning is and often they come to how a person sees the world. Some argue that learning is about a change in behavior due to experiences, others state simply that learning is being able to do something new that you were not able to do before. Regardless of what side you choose, to understand what learning in the digital age is, one has to understand what learning itself is. I am immensely thankful to the authors for sharing their ideas freely and for the reviewers who volunteered their time to give feedback.

The word “Victimless” crime typically refers to crimes that are prohibited, but no direct injury is involved to the non-participants. Prostitution is one of the examples of victimless crimes. Today, prostitution has turned out to be a global industry where sex is now being traded for drugs, clothing, food, favors, shelter and money. Many reasons force people to partake in this activity despite the many dangers involved. The government should interfere with victimless crimes (such as prostitution) so that the dangers associated with them can be controlled.

On the contrary, he goes on further to define the “digital natives” as those who “have grown up with this technology and have never seen a world without it”.

The process of mass communication is closely related to the media contexts.

In my opinion, there are such 7 trends that characterize modern mass media: centralization, convergence, interpersonalization, specialization, globalization, pathogenic texts, Internet based products. According to Avaya’s report, there are more 7 trends for 2013 year:

Reading, writing, and research in the digital age.

The internet revolutionized how people find information, and now the rising popularity of both e-books and mobile devices is transforming Americans’ reading habits. The impact of this constantly evolving digital landscape on educational institutions is mixed, as libraries try to keep pace while still serving the needs of traditional patrons, and educators offer conflicting reports on technology’s effects on students’ research habits.

From the early days of internet use and home broadband adoption to the rise of mobile devices and social networking sites, the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project has tried to answer questions exploring technology’s impact on Americans’ lives. How does the shift from desktop connections to mobile devices affect how we interact with longform content? How do teens and young adults conduct research in the age of Google and Bing? And what do these changes mean for educational and cultural institutions?

Ethical issues in the Digital Age Essay

Introduction, analysis of the cases, ethical aspects of using information on internet, intellectual property, moral and legal issues with software piracy and its affects, moral and legal issues with music piracy and copyright issues, should music be free on internet, cyber-bullying, disadvantages of social networking, list of references.

It was once remarked that the digital age brings many opportunities to individuals. This statement is true as opportunities abound in the digital era. Nevertheless, the lingering question centers on the costs attached to the era.

There is evidence that with the developments made in technology, opportunities and risks have increased. Although advancement has its pros and cons, the digital era has registered unprecedented opportunities and risks. Hence, it is not surprising that both ethical and moral issues regarding this age continue to bewilder people.

Case one illustrates the element of software piracy. Danny Ferrer was convicted for dealing in illegal software online. It is alleged that Danny Ferrer sold the software products valued at twenty million US dollars for much less since he put them on sale at a discounted price.

Three serious concerns emerge at this stage, the first issue revolves around benefitting from other peoples’ work without due recognition or acknowledgement, secondly, the culprit dupes customers into purchasing counterfeit products, and thirdly, Ferrer denies the original software providers the opportunity to sell the genuine products.

This view is held since it is established that Ferrer sold the products at substantially lower prices. Subsequent effects may be mindboggling in terms of lost revenue to original producers and likely job cuts based on reduced sales.

Worse still, the products sold by Ferrer were further reproduced and distributed to unsuspecting customers. The distributed software had company labels and fake serial numbers. Such aspects were meant to dupe the customers.

This issue centers on copyright infringement, as original producers had secured the brand names used to sell the products. When passing judgment, the court gave a hefty sentence to Ferrer and his conspirators. The court decision was correct since it is unethical to infringe on other peoples’ rights by copying and distributing private products.

The second case gravitates around downloading music files. The first cause of disagreement is whether the music is downloaded for personal or commercial use.

However, the main issue rests on infringement of copyright provisions. As the online service provider Napster alleges, the law protects downloading of music for non-commercial use. On the contrary, the recording industry supports the notion that downloading music without paying for it is an illegality.

Napster thus argues that availing music to random internet surfers is normal practice that is legally protected. However, it is morally wrong to benefit from other peoples’ hard work without compensating them for the invested time and resources. Since the music is copyrighted, it is also against the law to download and distribute it.

Case number three illustrates issues revolving around the use of social networking sites. As the case reflects, comments posted on the social networking sites may carry much weight than anticipated. In light of the case, it is true that what individuals post on the social networking sites could prove fatal.

This underscores the need to take caution while interacting on the sites. In addition, one should take care regarding the choices made concerning whom to be-friend. Moreover, the aspect of cyber bullying has emerged in the recent past as a serious concern.

Bullies on the social networking sites have contributed to suicide as victims who are unable to cope with emotional stress end up taking their own lives. Although, it is not plausible to post expletive messages on the internet, the consequences may be severe as job loss or suicide.

This leads to the question regarding the inherent value of using the social networking sites when the repercussions are that unbearable. The boss has relied on the online post to relinquish one employee off her duties. This is an element of cyber-bullying. However, it is ethically wrong to publish damaging information about other individuals.

The use of information on the internet raises questions regarding moral issues. Two schools, the deontological and the utilitarianism schools, best address the ethical issues. The main aspects regarding the use of information on the internet revolves around privacy and access. It is remarkable that once information is posted online, it is almost impossible to control its use.

The focus of deontological teachings lies on adherence to moral duties or rules (Rachels 1998). It is thus critical that in any endeavor, one should make the correct moral choices. Hence, it is necessary to understand the moral duties and know what is correct in reference to existing rules and how the rules in place regulate individual or group duties.

According to the deontological school, following one’s duties translates to behaving morally. On the contrary, failure to follow the duties due amounts to behaving immorally.

The deontological paradigm heavily borrows from religion as it assumes that rules, obligations and duties are determined or set by a supernatural. Regarding information on the internet, the moral or ethical question would center on whether it is right to publish information online.

In contrast to deontology, utilitarianism focuses on the consequences in addition to the actions. This explains why the approach is variously referred as consequentialism (Rachels 1998). Utilitarianism zeroes on the consequences of engaging in an action against the values held. The values often refer to such aspects as happiness, pleasure or welfare.

The idea is that any action should be aimed at maximizing the human endeavors. Using a universal sense, the utility principle demands that the greatest number of people derive the greatest level of satisfaction from any actions engaged. Under the principle of hedonism, utilitarianism suggests that the pursuit of pleasure is the primary goal in life.

As such, the principle holds that an action that derives the greatest pleasure is morally right while actions that deprive happiness are wrong (Bentham 2009). Hence, the question of publishing information online poses the ethical question concerning the consequences. Put differently, does publishing information online help a bigger percentage of people?

The creativity of minds differs. Exclusive rights are often granted to protect individual creativity. Under the law of intellectual property, owners of creations such as intangible assets like music, artistic works inventions and designs are extended exclusive rights. Intellectual property rights include trade secrets, trademarks, patents, copyrights, etc, depending on the area of jurisdiction (Gantz &Rochester 2005).

Protection of intellectual property is a moral issue. This follows from the notion that the human mind is a source of wealth and is critical in designing ways of survival. In essence, all property is created as people engage their minds. One, who violates intellectual property law, is morally wrong.

It is debatable how moral, companies that use intellectual property to impede progress and harm health, in order to gain selfishly are. In most cases, intellectual property rights only propagate the interests of a minority as opposed to the public. As libertarians argue, intellectual property laws create artificial shortages and contribute towards the infringement of property ownership.

Software piracy is a recent problem that is not clearly understood. A recent joint survey by Software Publishers Association and the Business Software Alliance indicated that approximately thirty billion US dollars in software revenue was lost in 2005 (Gantz &Rochester 2005). To worsen an already delicate situation, it is clear that the trend is on an upsurge and without sterner measures; things are surely expected to get out of control.

Unauthorized use of software has serious legal implications. This, centers on the idea that software providers hold copyrights, which are useful in protecting any infringement. The damages imposed on users of counterfeit products are too high and worse still, imprisonment is a possibility.

Given the heftiness of the repercussions, it is not worth taking the risk of using counterfeit products (Gantz &Rochester 2005). Outside the legal purview, the ethical perspective is equally compelling. Ethics have their root in the principles of justice and fairness. Thus, the ethical question would be whether using counterfeit software is regarded as fair.

Companies that produce software devote much time and large portions of funds to research. After such concerted efforts, the companies are able to develop the software. In light of this, it is only fair that the companies be allowed the opportunity to earn back what they invested in the development of the products.

Put in simple terms, the need to protect private property should be respected. Using the virtue approach, issues revolving around honesty, faithfulness, trustworthiness and integrity emerge. In reference to these attributes, one should be bothered about the participation in reproduction and distribution of counterfeit software.

Several effects emerge due to copyright infringement. To begin with, there is loss of revenue to companies that produce the products. Secondly, governments also lose on revenue since they are unable to earn from taxation of genuine products. Reduced revenues hinder both economic and social progression.

As an illustration, companies making losses are likely to cut jobs rather than create them. In this regard, the people are worse off as they are laid off and few absorbed. The effects of job loss are well documented and overall, the socioeconomic fabric of the society is adversely affected by such infringements on copyrights (Gantz &Rochester 2005).

The ethical issues revolving around downloading music are not much different from other types of products. It however appears that swapping or exchanging files online without paying original producers or authorized dealers amounts to infringement of copyright rules.

The bottom-line in this case is that individuals are benefitting or accessing music, which is copyrighted. Additionally, these people do not pay for the music. Worse still, there is an element of re-distribution of the music. In my view, it is wrong to freely distribute copyrighted music to anybody without paying for it or having authorization to do so.

Firstly, music is produced, implying that musicians or artists take time, practice, research and attempt to come up with renditions they believe would sell. This reflects on the element of investment on the part of the musicians. It is also worthy to note that a big percentage of the musicians depend entirely on music productions.

Based on the evidence presented above, it is clear that those downloading music without paying are reaping benefits of other peoples’ investments. The main problem is that the composers and producers of the music cannot sustain such activities without being paid.

Assuming they could sustain the activities, it is still morally unacceptable to take another person’s property without due process. In simple terms, downloading music without paying is taking somebody’s work for granted. Such behavior amounts to disrespect for private property.

It does not matter whether the music is distributed for commercial or non-commercial purposes. The producers of music have a main aim, which is to sell. If individuals like the music, they would make efforts in order to acquire it.

However, if most people hold the idea that they would obtain the music free, they would definitely opt for the latter choice. Additionally, as friends distribute the music amongst themselves, the real owners’ market is reduced. By this, the implication is that the free music is distributed to people who would have purchased the original copies. In essence, distributing music freely is amoral and should be discouraged.

Bullying is as old as human existence. However, technology has contributed to changing the nature of bullying, as it has given individuals another platform to engage in the vice. In its simplest form, cyber-bullying is using technology to issue threats, harass, and embarrass targeted individuals. Cyber-bullying is a serious legal concern that has the potential of landing culprits severe punishment (Shariff 2008).

Intolerable cyber-bullying has fatal consequences. As an illustration, cyber-bullying is likely to lead to psychological trauma. This scenario is especially worse when children are the victims of cyber-bullying. Victims are likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and other stress related turmoil.

When cyber-bullying becomes severe, victims may commit suicide (Shariff 2008). Cyber-bullying at organizational level is equally critical. Individuals or organizations may post damaging information on other parties’ sites. Such events may affect the reputation of a firm negatively. When this happens, issues of damaged reputation, lost sales, etc rise up (Shariff 2008).

Social networking is a recent phenomenon that has taken the world by a storm. However, it is riddled with a number of disadvantages. As an illustration, social networking does not achieve the same impact that face-to-face communication does. As such, individuals use all tricks to fake the personalities they would want to be.

The success levels of how one brings out his/her personality vary but the truth remains that it is difficult to determine the true personality of the other party. Additionally, social networking has no respect for anonymity (Learmonth 2009).

The information one puts out is no longer private as anybody has access to it. This exposes people to security risks. Moreover, the potential for swindling and harassment is real. While it is possible to apply measures to reign on scammers, there is always a chance that hackers would interfere.

It is also observable that social networking may turn out to be addictive. If this happens, then the issue of time and money emerges. Social networking addicts may spend much of their time surfing and in the process neglect other important duties.

In case this occurs at the workplace, victims are likely to lose their jobs as they become less productive. Finally, social networking is discouraging at times. By way of illustration, building a business on the social networking sites, take time.

As such, users who expect to use social networking sites for business purposes need to remain persistent. Although with time, new businesses make inroads, some suffer discouragement and opt out.
