Hey, fill in our questionairre! Peace!
Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Wikipedia, Blogs, E-mail, Cellphones and any technologically driven social platform that promotes connectedness appears to have permeated all areas of the world. Whether a social scientist, a concerned parent, or a citizen of the world we have begun to experience the impact of this virtual dimension on our lives and have questions we want answered.
Generally speaking there are those that are apprehensive and sceptical about digital technology and those who have whole-heartedly infused themselves with their favourite social networking site. Having heard a number of stories about how this digital technology has impacted on people’s lives (which by the way have been both favourable and unfavourable) we have become increasingly interested in exploring this concept on an intrapersonal and interpersonal level.
Based on this picture of our current reality and what appears to be the reality of the future the burning question for psychologists is (or at least should be): what does this mean for individuals and our interactions with others? As part of a broader project, we have decided to consider firstly the impact on emotional and social functioning. To assist us with exploring this question please share with us your views, opinions and thoughts by completing the following questionnaire. It should take you a few minutes. If you have any additional comments please email Gareth (gareth@jvrafrica.co.za) or Danielle (danielle@jvrafrica.co.za). The results will be published on the blog in due course.
