They are also at higher risk of depression, anxiety and insomnia

COVID-19 survivors show signs of significant cognitive deficits which could become dementia even a year after having the virus 1 . They also have an increased risk of depression, anxiety and disrupted sleep.

People who have had COVID-19 should be subjected to close monitoring and regular check-ups to ensure early detection of cognitive impairment and timely therapeutic interventions, says a team of researchers at the Bangur Institute of Neurosciences in Kolkata.

Previous research has suggested that the coronavirus may enter the brain through the olfactory system but little is known about how the virus affects the brain.

To find out, the scientists, led by Atanu Biswas and Madhushree Chakrabarty, did brain scans and assessed the mental health of COVID survivors using phone and in-person interviews. They then matched these with a control group of people who had not contracted COVID.

The team, which included researchers at the Indian Statistical Institute in Kolkata and the Burdwan Medical College in Purba Bardhaman, found that more than 80% of people tested reported at least one of four symptoms – depression, anxiety, stress and insomnia – ranging from mild to severe.

Patients with higher socioeconomic status experienced less anxiety. At least 6.1% of the patients were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment and 4% developed dementia.

More than 60% of the patients experienced a loss of taste and smell during the active phase of the infection. This could alter the function of brain areas linked to cognitive ability and emotional well-being, the researchers say.

6th Stop: The Online Body and The Authentic Self

Many of us have our go-to filters, which serve as digital mirrors reflecting our online lives. As someone who habitually embellishes my photos with filters, I contend that these tools, akin to traditional photo editing, vintage cameras, and carefully staged compositions, offer us the means to craft a visually pleasing narrative of our reality, which also holds authenticity in them.

Defamiliarizing Life Online: La Vie En Rose

The use of photo filters not only enhances the visual appeal of our images but also, as Sontag refers to the portrayal of war imagery, can desensitize us to the mundane aspects of our daily lives (1973, 20). Yet, concurrently, filters present us with images that deviate from the familiar scenes we're accustomed to witnessing.

One reason why filters captivate us is their ability to give images a sense of strangeness, defamiliarizing our everyday existence. Filters steal a little bit of our images; they corporate our vision with what the lens of a machine portrays.

Let me see my life through someone else’s eyes—or, in this case, the unfocused and impartial eye of a machine - Bianca Bosker (2014)

Although Instagram-style filters may initially render our selfies and everyday snapshots unrecognizable, their widespread usage eventually diminishes the effect of defamiliarization, transforming it into a commonplace occurrence. Nevertheless, our everyday photos serve as a means of heightening our personal experiences and giving them special meanings.

In essence, these filtered photos afford ordinary individuals the opportunity to engage in artistic expression—a realm once reserved for professionals due to the intricacies of photography and editing tools such as DSLR cameras and Photoshop. And each photo serves as a narrative that we consciously choose to share.

Platformatization: Finding Authenticity in Filters

Behavior of any kind, even that wholly in accord with societal mores, is authentic if it results from personal understanding and approval of its drives and origins rather than merely from conformity with the received wisdom of society. - Erich Fromm (2011)

Behavior, whether conforming to societal norms or not, is considered authentic by Erich Fromm (2011) if it stems from an individual's personal understanding and endorsement of its underlying motivations and origins, rather than mere conformity to prevailing societal expectations. Fromm views authenticity as a positive result of informed and enlightened motivation, rather than a negative consequence of rejecting societal pressures.

For instance, when selecting a filter for a photo, individuals make subjective choices that reflect their authenticity (Kumar & Madhushree Nanda Agarwal 2023). Consider a woman of color opting for a filter adhering to Western beauty standards. Her choice may signify a desire for societal acceptance, despite the inherent social injustices minorities face. In this context, her selection of a filter becomes a statement about her own experiences and struggles.

Platformization has transformed filters into customizable tools, allowing greater freedom to shape representations that reflect the diversity of our world. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook empower users, predominantly individuals, to design their own filters tailored to their unique needs and authenticity. Today, filter development is just as, if not more, likely to be conducted by a camgirl as it is by hundreds of full-time employees in a campus-sized studio. Skill-based barriers to entry have been eroded by the proliferation of low-cost and easy-to-use software development platforms known as AR toolkits .

These toolkits prioritize the creator's vision over technical expertise, resulting in a diverse range of filters that challenge conventional beauty standards. These filters may explore themes of disempowerment rather than conquest or feature mechanics that promote introspection over agency, thereby expanding the narrative possibilities and contributing to a more inclusive representation of reality.

Indeed, the filtered world we create online may diverge from its natural state, but it remains authentic in its own right. Through the lens of a digital camera, we craft a human-made vision of reality that reflects our perceptions, experiences, and desires. While this digital representation may not mirror the raw world, it nonetheless captures aspects of our inner selves and external surroundings, rendering it authentic in its portrayal of our lived experiences. Our online reality, shaped by filters and digital tools, serves as a unique and valid expression of our individual perspectives and narratives.

Week 8 - Digital Citizenship and Software Literacy: Instagram Filters

The Rise of Face Filters and AR Technology

Face filters have become an integral part of social media engagement, providing users with a tool for digital self-expression and enhancement of their online presence. Initially simple overlays for selfies, these filters have evolved into complex AR tools with interactive effects, beauty filters, and augmented reality masks (Javornik et al., 2022). Platforms like Snapchat and Instagram have embraced these filters, offering users a wide array of options to modify their appearance in real-time.

Augmented Reality Filters: A New Dimension

The advent of AR filters represents the next phase in face filter technology, offering dynamic and interactive experiences that respond to users' motions and surroundings (Bhatt, 2020). Unlike static overlays, AR filters immerse users in virtual environments, creating engaging animations and virtual reality experiences. With the democratization of filter production through platforms like Spark AR Studio, users and brands alike have seized the opportunity to create personalized and creative filters tailored to diverse tastes and preferences.

The Impact on Identity and Self-Image

While face filters offer a fun way to enhance images and videos, concerns have arisen regarding their impact on identity and self-perception (Kumar & Madhushree Nanda Agarwal, 2023). Critics argue that these filters propagate unrealistic beauty standards, fostering feelings of inadequacy and body dissatisfaction among users. Moreover, the blurring of lines between reality and digital alteration raises questions about authenticity and genuine self-representation in online interactions.

Navigating the Future of Face Filters

As technology continues to advance, the potential for innovation in face filters remains boundless (Sofija, 2022). From AI-powered filters to seamless integration with virtual and augmented reality experiences, the future holds exciting possibilities. However, it is imperative to approach the evolution of face filters with a critical lens, considering their implications for social interaction, identity formation, and self-perception. Balancing authenticity with innovation is crucial as we navigate the evolving landscape of digital self-expression.

Addressing Challenges and Promoting Responsible Use

While AR filters offer immense potential, they also present challenges related to unrealistic beauty standards and distorted self-image perceptions (Scott, 2019). Social media developers must prioritize user well-being by carefully curating filters and providing educational resources on healthy filter usage. Additionally, fostering awareness and self-reflection among users can promote mindful engagement with filters, encouraging them to prioritize genuine self-expression over unrealistic standards.

In conclusion, the evolution of face filters, particularly with the introduction of AR technology, has revolutionized digital self-expression. However, it is essential to consider the societal implications and psychological effects of these filters, emphasizing responsible use and promoting authentic online interactions. By striking a balance between innovation and mindfulness, we can harness the potential of face filters to enhance digital experiences while nurturing positive self-image and identity formation.

WEEK 8: DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP AND SOFTWARE LITERACY - INSTAGRAM FILTERS

These days, selfies are becoming more and more popular in digital society as it is a way for many people to improve their social status, shake off appearance anxieties, and record memorable moments. Understanding the needs of users, social media developers keep launching new beauty augmented reality filters to keep “selfitis” on their platforms. This trend leads to a positive upgrade in beauty and appearance in digital society but also causes many psychological deviance and problems among selfie enthusiasts.

1. Augmented Reality (AR) Filters

According to LinkedIn, Augmented Reality is a cutting-edge technology that seamlessly blends digital 2D and 3D content with the real world, transforming either users’ appearance or environment and creating unique experiences and interactions. They are commonly applied to users’ faces – for example, adding “cool” apparel, improving their facial features, transforming one into a fictional creature, or overlaying ‘silly’ items (e.g. Taco hat) (Javornik et al. 2022). Alongside the rapid growth of smart devices, the popularity of these filters is increasing day to day. These days, in coffee shops, it is not difficult to see a group of “selfie enthusiast” holding their phone straight to the face and trying out various filters. Bhatt (2020) reports that 600 million people use AR filters each month on Instagram or Facebook and 76% of Snapchat users use them every day, making them one of the most attractive functions on those sites.

2. AR Filters in the example of a social media platform - Instagram

Since Instagram - one of the most popular social media, began adding face filters in 2017, this rapidly became a hit among users. In September 2020, Meta - the mother company owing Instagram, announced that over 600 million people had tried at least one of its AR features. Every month, it is reported that about 700 million users across Meta products access AR in some capacity (usually filters). The launch of these filters leads to an increase in the interest of many users as it is a method to increase self-image. However, it also causes many drawbacks. During the period from October 2019 to August 2020, Instagram had to ban some filters because of controversy about affecting users' mental health. Some of them, such as Plastica or Fix Me, are seen to be mimicking face surgery, which could passively affect their users’ well-being (Scott 2019).

3. Effects

The impact of AR filters is controversial as they provide both many advantages and also drawbacks. On the bright side, these filters have provided users with a powerful tool for image enhancement. By enabling users to enhance features such as their eyes, cheeks, skin… AR filters have opened up a world of possibilities for individuals seeking to present themselves in a certain light (Kumar & Madhushree Nanda Agarwal 2023). Moreover, users can also create their own filters for public use, further expanding the potential impact of this technology. The ability to boost the picture allowed individuals to express themselves more openly and attractively, therefore encouraging creative communication and emotional responses between users.

However, on the dark side, AR filters are accused of encouraging unrealistic beauty standards and impacting users' self-image. It can alter face characteristics, body parts, or skin look, also causing unrealistic beauty standards. This can severely impact users' body image and self-esteem. Being constantly exposed to modified pictures might increase pressure to meet those unrealistic standards, leading to feelings of dissatisfaction with one's looks. Moreover, overreliance on filters may distort the distinction between virtual and real-world looks, possibly rendering it difficult to accept oneself without digital embellishments. The real confidence of those people will be highly affected as in reality, they “do not look the same as on their Instagram photos”.

4. Future & Solutions

The future of AR filters is promising, with continuous growth and expanding market potential. By the end of 2025, it is projected that nearly 75% of the global population and almost all smartphone users will be frequent AR users. AR filters are not just a "plaything," but are becoming more recognized as an actual tool that can be utilized in daily life. 76% of people expect to use AR filters as a tool, and 94% of consumers who interact with products that have AR experiences have a higher conversion rate (Sofija 2022).

In September 2017, IKEA introduced IKEA Place, an augmented reality app that allows customers to digitally check out their furniture. This is carried out simply by scanning the area, therefore improving the accuracy of the shopping experience for customers. AR filters are then soon to be used not only for entertainment on social media but also in many aspects of our lives.

The development of AR filters is promising with their modern technologies. However, they can also have another side if not leveraged carefully. They can bring us image enhancements, while they can cause unrealistic beauty standards and models. Therefore, having good control of those filters is a mission of many social media creators and producers. Understanding the purposes of filters, as well as their benefits and drawbacks before launching is needed to leverage filters. Creators should also need to have a good selection of filters, in which to choose whether they are entertaining and beneficial to users, instead of perpetuating unrealistic changes on the body. Finally, certain education for social media users about filters and self-image can be conducted more. This method will improve the self-awareness and knowledge of users when they use filters. They will be able to realize and focus on leveraging AR filters for healthy entertainment, rather than being to the side of dissatisfaction, and expectations of unreality standards.
