Comments on: “Gimme A Break” http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/gimme-a-break/ Coming of Age Online Wed, 19 Oct 2016 13:07:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.26 By: fmanto http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/gimme-a-break/#comment-23 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 03:18:07 +0000 http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=272#comment-23 This is really interesting! I hadn’t heard of this marketing campaign by Kit Kat, specifically. One of the things I find interesting the most is how our use of the internet is becoming so important in various studies regarding our psychology as a society. I mean, Baym’s work is a prime example of that. We’ve always been interested in how society communicates, and the internet has just added another element to the mix. I interned at a social media company this past summer, and it was really interesting to learn about the “science” behind social media. My coworkers were constantly “connected” on the internet, and as much as I enjoyed it, I realized how draining it was to always be on my laptop throughout the day. Therefore, I always found myself kind of going on a “technology cleanse” in the evening where I didn’t touch my phone or laptop. We’ve come to this type of understanding as a society that we are always on our phones, and so we have to force ourselves to disconnect in order to really connect.

However, I think we have to be careful about priveleging one form of interaction over another–namely, believing that face-to-face interaction is superior to other forms of interaction. Do you think it’s impossible for people to develop meaningful relationships outside of the “real” world? Prponents of these Free From Wi-Fi spaces seem to imply that that’s the case.

Also, your citation of Baym made me think of this study, for some reason: http://www.wired.com/2014/02/brain-smiley-emoticon-science/.
