Pourquoi les millennials aiment Snapchat. Note au lecteur: Si tu es perplexe à la lecture des termes snap, story ou filtres, on suggère de prendre 2 minutes pour apprendre quelques définitions ici. Suite à la lecture de cet article sur BuzzFeed il y a quelques semaines, j’ai pris un coup de vieux. Étant considérée comme la personne de mon entourage qui utilise Snapchat de façon la plus intensive (demandez à mes amis ou collègues de travail, ils vous confirmeront que mon amour pour l’application frôle parfois l'obsession), je n’étais pas préparée aux découvertes que j’y ai faites.
L'adolescente américaine dont il est question est une utilisatrice extrême: Elle peut recevoir et envoyer près de 40 snap par minutes;sa Story est vue par des centaines de personnes (amis ou non);son score se compte dans les centaines de milliers. Est-ce que ces ados sont représentatifs de tous les ados aux États-Unis? Impossible de le dire à la simple lecture de ce billet et l’utilisation varie probablement selon une multitude de facteurs.
Et la pub? Bitmoji, the silly cartoon avatars that say everything you can’t. Images courtesy of Bitmoji I turned 30 this past year, and like many Americans who are finally ready to grow up, I created a tiny little version of myself. Ever since she came into my life, I’ve been overjoyed, and a little obsessed. She’s this little bundle of pure emotion, always laughing or crying or scrunching her face into a fastidious little frown, and every time she feels something it’s almost like I can feel it too. I dress her up in cute outfits and send pictures to all my friends. My cartoon avatar has my haircut and my freckles and my sense of style, and I can manipulate her mug into any conceivable facial expression with a couple of taps. My Bitmoji is just like me, but less emotionally withholding and with better skin. Amanda Hess is a Slate staff writer.
The Web used to be framed as a brave new world, so unlike “real life” that you had to shed your terrestrial form and build a digital you to navigate the Information Superhighway.

(le 5 novembre 2015) HabiloMédias – le Centre canadien d’éducation aux médias et de littératie numérique – lance aujourd’hui une nouvelle ressource visant à faciliter le passage des élèves à l’école secondaire et à les aider à résoudre les dilemmes numériques auxquels ils peuvent être confrontés dans leurs interactions et activités en ligne.

Personne-ressource : Why Your Kids Love Snapchat, and Why You Should Let Them. Photo In the picture that sprang to life on my phone, the girl’s hair was an unruly nest. Her eyes were crusty slits as she squinted, unsmiling, at the camera. She was still in bed, blankets askew. It is not a glamorous shot. That’s an image unlikely to survive the unforgiving atmosphere of Instagram, where the ever-more-perfectly filtered selfie is always streaming. No, this was Snapchat: a look at teenage life as startlingly authentic as it is fleeting. Snapchat is the app that lets users share photos or video that disappear.
As some cool kids will, Snapchat made a grim first impression on parents, swiftly earning a rep as “that thing where kids send naked pictures that disappear.” In fact, I’m here to pledge my love to the gritty realness of Snapchat, and last week, researchers at the University of Michigan chimed in: A new study of undergraduates found Snapchat use predicted more positive mood and social enjoyment among college students than visiting Facebook. I don’t gush lightly. Comment faire un vlog. Take control of your digital spaces with this DIY feminist cybersecurity guide. L’atelier Mi-fille, mi-face.

#Jeveuxqueçaarrête. Billet rédigé par Sarah-Jeanne Desrochers Un après-midi, la directrice de l'école secondaire réunit tous les élèves. Chloé, secondaire 3, vient de tenter de s'enlever la vie. Sur Internet circulait une photo d'elle, nue, accompagnée de commentaires tous plus désobligeants et méchants les uns que les autres. Suite à cet événement, Raphaëlle, Sarah, Giulia et Jasmine, en compagnie des garçons qui complètent leur cercle d'amis, entameront une réflexion sur l'impact qu'ont eu les médias sociaux dans cette histoire. #Jeveuxqueçaarrête s'adresse aux jeunes filles âgées principalement de 13 à 15 ans. L'histoire se veut « racontée comme un roman, puis expliquée par une psy. » La première portion est donc sous forme de récit, puis un épais dossier d'une cinquantaine de pages complète l'ouvrage.
Le roman traite principalement des médias sociaux, du rapport des adolescents avec ceux-ci ainsi que des dangers qu'ils représentent lorsque l'on perd la maitrise de ces sites. Facebook lance un portail de prévention du harcèlement des adolescents. C'est un fléau qui n'a de cesse de grimper : le harcèlement en ligne devient le quotidien de nombreuses personnes à travers le monde, et le plus souvent, ce sont les adolescents qui en souffrent, principalement du fait de leur hyper connections aux réseaux sociaux.
Un harcèlement identique à celui que les enfants subissent déjà à l'école, indépendamment des âges : " Le cyberharcèlement et le harcèlement dans la vraie vie sont similaires " déclare Marc Brackett, directeur du centre de l'intelligence émotionnelle de l'Université de Yale " C'est plus une question de personne que de médium, les cyberharceleurs le sont aussi dans la vraie vie. " Et Facebook, de par sa popularité, se présente comme un véritable vecteur de ce cyberharcèlement pour des millions d'enfants. La plateforme avait déjà opéré quelques changements permettant d'endiguer le phénomène, principalement résumés à la simplification du processus de signalement. These Are The Lesbian Photos That Got Me Banned From Facebook.
It’s 4:30 am on Monday morning, my typical post-bartending bedtime. I grabbed my puppy, took a swig of my leftover Smart Water and tucked myself in for the night. It had been a long day of training at my new job in the Meatpacking District, and I was relieved that my requisite 12-hour hiatus from monitoring the "Girl on Girl" documentary film Facebook fan page had gone off without a hitch. On my walk to the subway home, I skimmed through the insights tab which revealed a post-reach approaching 25 million people. I unabashedly did a happy dance. Out of habit, I decided to check the page one last time before nodding off. I grabbed my phone and pressed the Facebook icon.
I waited. My first thought — there must have been a nip slip, as Facebook is notorious for their censorship of all things nipple and areola related. My contact-less eyes combed the photo for signs of a nipple or butt crack violation. For a moment, I was compelled to laugh. A slew of messages came in. Is it a butt crack? Web 2.0 : un espace égalitaire? The Year I Didn’t Retweet Men. In the midst of this research, I found the Twee-Q tool, another imprecise-but-useful bit of software which showed a guessed gender for people whose voices I was amplifying through retweets. I don’t remember the exact calculation, but at the time, I believe my RTs were about 80% men.
I followed a nearly equal ratio of women and men, but retweeted men three times as often as I retweeted women. This, despite my knowing how underrepresented women’s voices are in the areas I obsess over, such as technology and policy and culture. I could do better. Prince and the Resolution Thus, my new year’s resolution in 2013 was to only retweet women. This turned out to be the easiest resolution I’ve ever made. The only significant challenge to this rule that I faced in 2013 was the @3rdeyegirl account, which was nominally staffed by Prince’s (all-woman) band 3rd Eye Girl, but which I knew was also often ghost-written by Prince.
So, What Happened? For me, for my experience, it’s better. Give it a try. Man Poses as Woman on Online Dating Site; Barely Lasts Two Hours. My favorite Okcupid creeper is 'Dude Who Isn't Even Close To My Stated Preferences' (there is some overlap with 'Dude Who Didn't Read My Profile'). Like It clearly says 18-35 and near me, so of course I get dozens of messages from 40 year old Indian guys. Speaking of Indian guys....Wtf fuck is up with Indian guys??? I mean, the ones on the internet they're all horny creeps who give off rapey vibes (do you yahoo chat?). I also hate that so many women delete their profiles after a week or two because I'll get some interest, go to respond and then she's gone. Flagged I'm very sorry that you and the others who've posted have had negative experiences with Indian men in the past.
That's like, elementary school stuff. "Their culture is so very different than ours. Reread that. Having to type all of this out makes me pretty sad. The trouble with Twitter feminism. I love the internet. I really do. And I can’t stand the luddites who romanticize the days where people talked. Face to face. Or called each other. I have found dozens — I’d even be so bold as to say hundreds — of brothers and sisters across the globe who I would have otherwise never found, if not for the ability to connect online. So I have no interest in blaming technology or social media for people’s behaviour or arguing that Twitter is unequivocally “bad” (or “good,” for that matter). While I would never argue that feminists stay off of Twitter and do tend to believe it’s a necessary evil, of sorts, if you are in media/writing/journalism, I don’t think it’s a place for productive discourse or movement-building.
Here is a list of FACTS I hear about myself on a daily basis on Twitter: – I am a white supremacist – I am rich – I am getting rich off of someone’s “back” – I love Hugo Schwyzer, am his BFF and his Number One Top Defender – I am evil – I hate women – I hate prostituted women. Le sexe des réseaux sociaux. Le réseau social Facebook met en péril bien des choses (intimité, authenticité, profondeur, alouette), mais certainement pas l'égalité entre les hommes et les femmes. C'est du moins ce que démontre une étude de l'Institut Internet de l'Université Oxford qui place l'espace de socialisation en tête des lieux numériques où les deux sexes se côtoient, finalement, un peu dans le vide et le bruit, mais le fait dans une représentation globalement égalitaire. Ce qui n'est pas le cas ailleurs dans le cyberespace. Les réseaux sociaux aussi ont un sexe, vient d'établir Mark Graham, spécialiste de la cartographie de nos vies numériques.
Ainsi, Pinterest — un outil qui permet de socialiser en attirant les regards sur des photos liées à nos centres d'intérêt — se distingue dans la longue liste des réseaux pour son côté très féminin. L'Institut Internet d'Oxford ajoute également que plus l'Internet va se démocratiser et plus «ces silos par genre» risquent de se former dans les univers numériques. Radical Feminist Selfies Took Over Twitter And It Was Awesome. My embarrassing picture went viral. I logged onto my Facebook one morning to find a message from a girlfriend. “You’re internet famous!” It read. She sent a link to a very public page whose sole purpose was posting images that mock people’s appearances. There I was in full glory — a picture of me dressed as my hero Lara Croft: Tomb Raider for Halloween — but written over the image were the words “Fridge Raider.”
Funny enough, I wasn’t even angry at first. I was actually kind of amused. I don’t generally view my body size as positive or negative — it simply is. None of this played into my decision to dress up as Lara Croft, one of the most kick-ass female video game characters ever. So I laughed it all off at first — but then, I read the comments. “What a waste of space,” read one. We all know the awful humiliation of a person laughing at you. I called my friend Terri Jean, a photographer. The first thing I needed to do was figure out where the picture came from.
Most of them were women. But I refuse to disappear. Facebook Has Transformed My Students' Writing—for the Better - Andrew Simmons. The Internet has ruined high-school writing. Write the line on the board five hundred times like Bart Simpson. Remember and internalize it. Intone it in an Andy Rooney-esque grumble. I've heard the line repeated by dozens of educators and laypeople.
I've even said it myself. Thankfully it is untrue. As a high-school English teacher, I read well over a thousand student essays a year. However, while Facebook and Twitter have eroded writing conventions among my students, they have not killed the most important ingredients in personal writing: self-reflection and emotional honesty. High school is cruel to all genders, an equal-opportunity destroyer of spirit and self-esteem.
When I was beginning high school in 1994 boys knew not to reveal weakness and insecurity. I have a Facebook page dedicated solely to my position as an educator. My observations have reaffirmed the widely held notion that the Internet is no refuge from the pains of adolescence. "Even when there no one else you got me. " Teenagers say goodbye to Facebook and hello to messenger apps | Technology | The Observer. Facebook made a startling admission in its earnings announcement this month: it was seeing a "decrease in daily users, specifically among teens". In other words, teenagers are still on Facebook; they're just not using it as much as they did.
It was a landmark statement, since teens are the demographic who often point the rest of us towards the next big thing. Their gradual exodus to messaging apps such as WhatsApp, WeChat and KakaoTalk boils down to Facebook becoming a victim of its own success. The road to gaining nearly 1.2 billion monthly active users has seen the mums, dads, aunts and uncles of the generation who pioneered Facebook join it too, spamming their walls with inspirational quotes and images of cute animals, and (shock, horror) commenting on their kids' photos. No surprise, then, that Facebook is no longer a place for uninhibited status updates about pub antics, but an obligatory communication tool that younger people maintain because everyone else does.
