https://bit.ly/3MML7Pc - 👩💻 In our increasingly digital world, children are spending more time online than ever. A recent study, EU Kids Online 2020, found that 62% of kids access the internet daily, spending an average of 2-3 hours online. While many children enjoy harmless hobbies, a small number might unknowingly attract the attention of organized cybercrime groups through their online gaming skills. The challenge is recognizing the potential signs of such exploitation. #OnlineSafety #DigitalParenting 🕹️ Excelling in popular online games such as Fallout or Call of Duty can inadvertently signal a child's digital prowess to criminals. Cybersecurity expert Mike Jones suggests these organizations identify potential recruits through their gaming skills and try to form trusting relationships with them. Their goal is to make these kids feel special, part of a community, and eventually isolate them from potential deterring influences. #Cybercrime #GamingRisks 🧠 The danger lies in children's ability to quickly acquire hacking skills due to the plasticity of their developing brains. However, their understanding of the potential consequences of such actions might not be fully developed. This combination makes them potentially attractive to criminal gangs who exploit their naivety for their nefarious purposes. #ChildSafety #CyberSecurity 👪 Parents' awareness and understanding of the risks can help set boundaries for safe online behavior. There is a need for parents to be more informed about potential online dangers, understand the signs of potential exploitation, and take appropriate measures. #ParentingInDigitalAge #CyberEducation 🔍 So, how can you spot if a child is involved in illegal activity online? Here are three signs: 1️⃣ Significant increase in time spent online, including during the night. If the child's behavior changes, they seem withdrawn or excessively tired, it might warrant further attention. #OnlineAddiction #DigitalHealth 2️⃣ The presence of multiple online accounts. Monetizing gaming skills can sometimes act as a gateway to serious offenses. Young hackers might also have multiple email addresses, IP addresses, or bank accounts. #OnlineFootprints #DigitalDetective 3️⃣ Using a new language, especially hacking-related terms such as script kiddies, DDoS, doxing, ops, bots, and phishing. Beware if they start using coded language to hide information when you're around. #CyberSlang #DigitalLingo Let's keep our digital world safe for everyone, especially our children. Stay informed and vigilant.

Online Gaming
Playing video games is an excellent pastime for young adults–especially boys. Who does not love to get lost in a virtual world and win a good game? While relaxing and playing a video with friends is quite ordinary, it must be done in moderation. After all, teens can become addicted to playing video games, decreasing academic performance, changing behaviors, and lacking peer interaction. At Destinations for Teens, our teen video game addiction treatment program will support your teen in learning how to play their games in moderation.
Teen video game addiction is a reality and can have long-term effects on young adults. According to one study from the American Journal of Psychiatry, an estimated one percent of Americans have a gaming disorder. While this might seem like a low number, it provides a warning as the concept of game addiction is new and has not been fully developed.
NO INTEREST IN ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND OTHER ACTIVITIES
Addicted gamers have no interest in doing anything other than playing video games. As a result, their ability to perform well at school will decrease–after all, when do they have time to do homework or study? In addition, previous extracurricular activities such as sports or community programs are no longer significant. Instead, a teen’s only focus is becoming a stronger video game player and not working toward other goals.

iGen’ers replacing human contact #PhysicalConnection with socializing on their phones / computers! Ideal remote working skills ;) Not so good for real world social skills.
The unintended consequences of technology? #OnlineAddiction #Parenting #SocialTrends #SocietalConsequences
“The only parties I went to in high school were birthday parties, and they were almost always supervised or included an adult somewhere,”
“I feel like we don’t party as much. People stay in more often. My generation lost interest in socializing in person—they don’t have physical get-togethers, they just text together, and they can just stay at home.”
“People party because they’re bored—they want something to do. Now we have Netflix—you can watch series nonstop. There’s so many things to do on the web.”
College students in 2016 (vs. the late 1980s) spent four fewer hours a week socializing with their friends and three fewer hours a week partying—so seven hours a week less on in-person social interaction. That means iGen’ers were seeing their friends in person an hour less a day than GenX’ers and early Millennials did. An hour a day less spent with friends is an hour a day less spent building social skills, negotiating relationships, and navigating emotions.
Some parents might see it as an hour a day saved for more productive activities, but the time has not been replaced with homework; it’s been replaced with screen time.
Some excellent first person experiences shared on Hacker News!

Click, Share,Beep - Here’s your share of Digital Dopamine.
I remember this one conversation with KolAsher where we discussed how the Social Media has spoiled an entire generation. When we have nothing else to talk about, it’s either this or the climate change (Gah!), or his endless talks about the geo-political scenes! Yet we both continue using a string of apps that ‘let us connect with the world.’ If you wiki search the term ‘social media’ it will tell you and I quote “computer-mediated technologies that facilitate the creation and sharing of information, ideas, career interests and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks.” Sounds fancy, eh? Well, it is! Never before in history was it is easy to stay in touch with family & friends.
Everyone is a schmuck these days. Social media, which I believe, started as a form of ‘connecting’ has evolved into one nasty world. This world has today turned into a full-fledged advertising medium, a place to target hate, and a place where one can pretend to be just about anyone they want to enhance one's reputation, and most importantly a place where humans and their brain, cognition, and well-being is desensitized. When it comes to being a ‘social media personality’, you are either loved, seen as an inspiration, or termed flat out stupid or foolish, or an obnoxious, contemptible or detestable person. I think there is no in between.
Having survived (?) 10 years on social media without going bonkers (!!), I feel I have gained some expertise and deem myself fit to write about this mad chaotic world. This medium is perfect to satisfy one's social drives. Here you broadcast information, observe others, receive feedbacks, and the worst of it all, compare! Google’s Orkut and MySpace were quite a big deal back in 2004-2007 till Facebook came into picture. Facebook’s clear cut and decent UI, and curated third-party apps helped it gain initial momentum with the users. From time to time, Facebook kept updating itself and engaging more users, so much so that it almost became a ‘norm’ to have Facebook. Then Twitter followed. One of the most fun apps even today, I (personally) believe Twitter is unmatchable. Its to-the-point, no hierarchies, no prejudices, and “open to everyone” conversations is what makes this app so much fun! Apart from this, Snapchat came in to up your sexting game (it actually pushed me to click a perfect butt selfie), Tinder came to actually help you score (a date), Tumblr came in with its aesthetically pleasing (whoa!) high-def images, Pinterest came is where the girls could plan their weddings, WhatsApp replaced the good ol’ SMSes, and of course, r/Reddit was a place to discuss ‘anything at all.’
When I look back, I realize that every ‘like’ that I have got created a kind of a pleasurable stimulus that got me even more addicted. The social media is designed to be addictive. It designed to mess up with your brain’s algorithm and keeps you hooked. It’s scary how much time we spend online these days. What’s even scarier is that we choose to spend time of social media than engage in real-life face-to-face interactions. Walk into a room full of people and you will find more than half of them blankly staring at their screens. The lack of personal interactions has had a detrimental effect on people’s confidence and has hence given rise to social anxiety. Today, people have become more paranoid/nervous about attending social events. They forget to draw a line between what is real and what is not. Obviously, not everything you see on the social media is real. Seeing other people (pretending to be) happier makes one feel ‘life is not fair for them.’ Passively scrolling through the timelines, seeing pictures of your ‘friends’ getting married, traveling the globe, eating at the finest restaurants, wearing the best of the brands, owning the latest gadgets, and will definitely affect your self-esteem, and not in a very good way. Again, here we forget that these are just the ‘air-brushed’ versions of people’s lives.
The more you are online, the worse it gets. Put 2 and 2 together, and you will realize that the more social media apps one has, the more he/she is at the risk of depression. The fabricated appearance/attractiveness of others may result in the manifestation of the insecurity and the quest for recognition among the peer will drag you deep into a chaotic world.
Now has the social media become so important that we are ready to sacrifice out mental, physiological and physical health for it? Think about it. Time is the most valuable asset. Seriously, stop wasting it being stuck to your phone screens.
Take a moment and breathe. Stretch your legs. Have a glass of water. Realize that there is much more life out there, than in here.
In an attempt to break the Internet, do not let it break you!
:P Now seriously get off your screens!

ASOS = As Seen on Screen
Did you know this is what ASOS stood for? What a clever little acronym that not only creates a good brand name but also tells us something about today's advertising. Advertisements are literally everywhere on the internet. I'm scrolling down Facebook and they're at the side of my feed, they're halfway down my feed on Instagram and they interrupt my story watching on Snapchat.
We don't realise that, while we're mindlessly scrolling through social media, we're constantly targeted by advertising campaigns and it's probably the best thing that ever happened for companies. Traditionally, advertising campaigns were seen in magazine spreads, or on television and it was super obvious that they're trying to sell us things. Does anyone even watch TV adverts or read magazines anymore? Why would you when you can fast forward through the ads or read magazine articles on your phone.
Big companies have taken this change in behaviour in their stride and now subtly place their advertisements down the sides of our phone screens. How genius. When I'm scrolling through Facebook, Instagram etc, I don't see them as adverts, I just see a picture of shoes I like, with a link underneath. How simple, I can buy the product within 5 minutes of seeing the advert. The adverts aren't over the top sale pitches, their just gentle reminders that we might want this new product. It certainly works for me, evidenced by my online shopping addiction.
