Jeremy: Hey ChatGPT, why should youth workers listen to this conversation?   ChatGPT: Hey there! Youth workers should tune into this conversation because it delves deep into the challenges and realities teens face in our modern, tech-saturated world. It provides insights into the complexities of identity, the double-edged sword of digital exposure, and the importance of striking a balance with technology. By understanding these nuances, youth workers can be better equipped to guide, mentor, and connect with today's teens, helping them navigate their faith journey in an increasingly connected yet sometimes disjointed digital landscape.   Plus, it's about adapting and staying relevant in a world that's constantly evolving. It's essential knowledge for anyone genuinely invested in the wellbeing and spiritual growth of the younger generation.   Jeremy:

Corey Williams • Selected Scriptures • How should Christians think about all the technology God has provided for this generation? How can they use phones, social media accounts, or video games with wisdom? This seminar finds biblical answers to those questions in the first chapter of Genesis, where the creation mandate describes how believers are supposed to spend their time.

Have you ever felt like you're not good enough after scrolling on social media? Us too. It's not an enjoyable feeling, and unfortunately, it's all too common. In this week's episode we discuss comparison on social media, how to set goals around our content consumption, ways to be more mindful of the content that we consume, how this content relates to our overall goals, and setting boundaries with technology. It's so easy to get consumed on our phones, on social media, and on technology in general. Technology and social media bring so much value into our lives and can be used for so much good. On the flip side, they can bring so much anxiety, stress, and isolation if over-used. It's all about finding the balance that works best for us at this moment.

In this episode, we talk about how we think social media and technology affect teenagers' ability to socialize. We get multiple opinions about the topic and gave some advice.

He may be the inventor of the slogan 'I miss my pre-internet brain," but Doug Coupland's new book is all about the internet, and the stories people tell about themselves there. "Binge: 60 Stories to Make Your Brain Feel Different," features pieces of "micro-fiction" inspired by social media updates, but taken to the limit of each character's capacity, or lack. He conveys the emptiness, loneliness, ennui - and hilarity - too much available technology fosters. The power constant connectivity offers and why so often it results in the opposite. Steve Paikin talks to the Vancouver artist and author about how he sees the pre-and-post pandemic world, online and off. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

General litigation for social media companies requires a broad skill set and offers exciting variation--from privacy to copyright to class action defense to breach of contract. What does it take to prepare for this type of breadth? More on Kathryn Cahoy and Kanu Song. SPEAKERS Kanu Song, Wayne Stacy, Kate Cahoy Wayne Stacy 00:01 Welcome, everyone to the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology's Expert Series podcast. I'm Wayne Stacy, the Executive Director for BCLT. And today we're focusing on careers in technology. And in particular, we're talking about the types of legal work needed by social media companies. I'm here with two attorneys from Covington that are both leading experts in what I'm going to leave as the teaser here in helping social media companies, but I'm going to let them explain exactly what that means because the phrase carries a lot of different meaning to a lot of different people. So with us, we have Katherine Cahoy, who specializes in complex commercial litigation, including antitrust privacy, and consumer protection, and Kanu Song who specializes in complex commercial litigation, including class actions and consumer protection. So before we talk about generally what the practice looks like in the social media space, I'd love for the two of you to explain just what your practice looks like day to day in the technology field. Kate Cahoy 01:13 Sure, hi, Wayne, I can go first. This is Kate Cahoy. I am a litigator and I have practiced since since I began in private practice in Silicon Valley. So and with a heavy emphasis on tech companies. So I have kind of created my specialization in class action litigation. But there are lots of different types of class action litigation that are prevalent in, in this area and for tech companies in general and social media companies as well. So I have done, you know, the heavy component of privacy type issues that are privacy class actions, anti trust and other types of consumer class actions, things. For example, claims brought under California's unfair competition law, claiming that you know, a statement was misleading on a website or you know, something related to that. Wayne Stacy 02:16 How about you Kanu? Kanu Song 02:18 So I am like a litigator, I am actually in general commercial litigation, most of the time, I'm a generalist by choice. So, I do all kinds of litigation, but because my practice is based in San Francisco, a lot of my clients do tend to be tech companies, including social media companies. And in that space, the substantive work that I've done has been in intellectual property, privacy, class actions, and contract disputes the classic breach of contract, but also like state law claims that's sort of tail off to that. Wayne Stacy 02:54 So maybe, to broaden out a little bit, you know, when people think about social media companies, class actions, and consumer protection, maybe don't come to mind, at least aren't the first thing that that comes to mind. Can you explain a little bit about what those practices look like, for a tech company or a social media type company? Kate Cahoy 03:17 Sure, so I think, you know, for many companies that are growing or, you know, either now are fairly successful, or getting to that point, I mean, class action litigation is sort of a risk and cost of doing business and, and I for a lot of different companies. So I think it's something that that many companies face in, you know, they're some of th

We love our phones and are so excited to talk about them! However, we also discuss the struggles and dangers of social media.

Marni welcomes the Authors of Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid: Changing Feelings About Technology from Telegraph to Twitter, Dr. Susan Matt, and Luke Fernandez into the Den. Luke is an Assistant Professor at Weber State School of Computing and Susan is a Professor of History at Weber State. Both have been published in the Washington Post.   Key takeaways from this episode:  Emotions are created by culture Effects of technology on expectations Reframing ideas and feelings Enjoying solitude versus fear of loneliness How Technology is Changing People [2:08] Our personalities and emotions are changing due to social media. Past generations didn't quantify their worth with how many friends they had. They didn't get bored as easily because no one was pressuring them to use their time. Susan points out the word boredom didn't exist until the 19th century. Luke encourages us to think of emotions and feelings as not just biological but as things that are shaped by the world around us. By technologies and language.  Technology companies lead us to believe that happiness is being connected all the time.   Unrealistic Expectations  [15:39] There is an entire 'loneliness' industry that touts the message that we need more friends. As advertisements began to saturate through new media outlets, people started believing the hype.  We may be more connected than our ancestors but the amount of loneliness we are prone to is the same.  Luke reminds us that in the past people would admit to being lonely and join loneliness clubs. In the current environment, many people feel shame due to not having the ‘right' amount of friends or FOMO. But, it is all based on conditioning and language. Enjoying solitude connotes something different than suffering loneliness.   How Did the Pandemic Change Us? [25:36] During the pandemic, technology was extremely useful in keeping us connected with our loved ones and offered us a sense of community even though we were restricted to our homes. Luke is optimistic about how technology can help us in these ways and says it shouldn't be vilified.    Change How We React [33:12] Luke and Susan didn't intend for their book to be a self-help guide. But, Luke says just being aware of how we use technology and how we react to our feelings can shift our perspectives and remove the stigma of loneliness. Ultimately, it is up to us and the language we use with ourselves.   Emotions are not set in stone. We can change the way we feel about something.    Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

Just a very brief talk about some things from my education class.

In this special episode, you will get to hear us being interviewed on the “Confident Couples Podcast” hosted by Bud and Sara Dunn. This was such a fun, humorous, and much needed topic about the impact that technology and social media has on modern day relationships (who doesn’t experience this right?!) Both sides of the positive impact and some of the areas that there may be ‘negative’ impacts on your connection, both of which you will even be surprised by! In this episode you will know some of the positive and negative impacts of social media (that you wouldn’t normally think about) on modern relationships. You will then be able to make new agreements, set healthy boundaries, release the hold onto some assumptions you may have about your partner, and maintain (even restore) trust and connection within the relationship. With all this said, you will be able to use social media and technology within your relationship to continuously be even more connected and on the same page with your vision!  Questions asked in this interview What are the things you see that are impacting and challenging modern couples with social media and technology?  You say a big takeaway for couples is to make agreements around using technology, what are some examples?  How can couples use social media and technology productively within their relationship?  What advice is there for one partner when they do not agree with the type of content their partner looks at and consumes?  How can a couple recover from a “trust breaking event” as it pertains to social media and what they look at?  Is it necessary to make these grand public professions of love for our partners for every single life event? If I don’t, does that mean I’m not being the best partner I can be?  Quotes: “Most couples are just holding on to assumptions about their partners, when what they really need is agreements. This makes all the difference in your trust and connection”. - Jocelyn  Connect More With The Guests: Connect with “Confident Couples” and Bud & Sarah more at: 1)Website: https://budandsara.com/ 2) Instagram: @BudandSara Other Resources: 1) Get a FREE hard copy of the book The New Power Couple (just pay for shipping).

And how in the world are we supposed to balance all this? Because it's definitely not going away!

The life-sucking quality of people's comments that people feel the freedom to leave when they are safely and anonymously hidden behind a computer screen. Sharing our kids' entire lives online before they even have an opportunity to refuse it. Isolation from real-life relationships and the complete loss of social skills.

Social media has transformed the way users behave online and offline. It has prevailed over the last decade and billions of people around the world engage with each other on these platforms on a daily, if not hourly basis. Whilst social media encourages individuality, the sharing of ideas and opinions online has created stereotypes and unrealistic benchmarks that people must attain to be accepted. Consequently, this has resulted in a multitude of mental health issues amongst individuals who believe they don’t fit the bill. In the final episode in this three-part series, Steve Durbin, Managing Director at the ISF talks with Scott Amyx, Managing Partner at Amyx Ventures about healthy social media and technology use for kids, and whether they understand the ethical nature of sharing content online.

Links DaveAdamson.tv Dave on Twitter Dave on Instagram Dave on YouTube Chasing the Light book Today, we’re joined by our friend Dave Adamson, who is a former TV sports reported from Australia. Dave serves as the social media pastor for North Point Community Church in Atlanta and is a social media expert. Dave and his wife Meg have three daughters.  Conversation with Dave What does a social media pastor look like week to week? It’s beyond social media. I deal with a lot of people who connect with our church digitally. People connect with your church before they connect in your church, and most of the time they do that through social media. We want to make sure we have a great presence there, that we’re involved in the community and that we’re connecting people from social media to our other areas and hopefully eventually to our church. That doesn’t sound like a real job, Dave. It’s funny, since I took this job we’ve heard from other churches who have hired social media directors. It’s become a bit of a thing. Social media is everywhere; we’re all on it and connect with people that way. In the U.S., church attendance is declining. But I don’t say it’s declining; I say it’s decentralizing. People don’t need to come to church anymore to get the content.  How does technology and social media impact our marriages? Social media does impact, but it has the ability to be a wedge or to bring us together. I could use technology to contact my wife in a way I couldn’t when we were first married 20 years ago. But at the same time, when I come to bed at night and Meg’s been to bed for an hour and I see the glow from her side of the bed it doesn’t seem like a good thing. Why isn’t it a good thing? It can create a separation—instead of spending the end of the day talking we’re on social media and turn it off to go to sleep. Do you feel that tension in your relationship with your spouse, especially toward the end of the day? Or is that just part of your natural rhythm? Afton: We actually started charging our phones in a different room when we go to bed. We actually started it to help us sleep better, but it does help relationally because you talk when you go to bed. Ted: We have three teenagers, and we can’t be on ours all the time if we’re telling them not to be. So there’s the accountability there. We’re pretty conscious about it. Dave: We have a rule in our house that all phones get turned off at 8pm and all phones get charged in our room. We used to charge them in the kitchen but we found one of our daughters would get up and go find it at night. This also means that we, the parents, have access to your phones. The second rule is that every device in our house is on the same password, so I can open up their phones and scroll through it. But they can also do it to us. We also have a rule that Friday night till Saturday night is a device free zone in our house.  What would you say to the couple that doesn’t think they have an issue? How might social media be impacting them without them realizing it? There are positives and negatives to it. The device/social media itself isn’t the enemy. There’s a stat that says the average American touches their phone 300 times a day. I always think to myself – how would my relationship with my wife be different if I held her hand or stroked her hair 300 times a day? It can be a negative thing but we can make it positive too. I even find with my daughters. I follow their Instagram accounts and it keeps me connected with what’s going on.  How does awareness help us control the impact technology has on our marriage? Once you make that switch and start to use technology for good, it actually means more. There’s a book by Reggie Campbell called What Radical Husbands Do and he says that for the first five minutes when you get home, stay five feet from your wife. I’m usually walking in ending a phone call or reading/posting something. Now, I will park around the corner, finish my phone call and then put my phone in my bag and drive in. I try to spend that first five minutes with her and then with my girls. How have you used technology to make your relationship better? Afton: We have one Spotify account, so when Hudson is listening to it I like to get on my phone and steal it so he can’t listen anymore. Dave: That’s a good point, because we have one Audible account and we often read the same books now.  CJ: We like to try to go an entire day only texting each other GIFs to talk about our day. It’s entertaining. Ted: Texting is a great thing for us during the day. I love the fact that we can connect that way Dave: My wife travels with a missionary, and we use FaceTime to stay in touch. Another great way we use technology is we watch Netflix together and have regular family movie nights on Friday. Technology has done a lot to bring our family together. What do you say to someone whose spouse is always glued to their phones and they’re having a hard time connecting with them? I think it’s making people aware of certain statistics. That idea that we’re touching our phones 300 times a day or spending 2-2.5hrs/day on our phone. It’s the realizing of the time we’re wasting. Have some statistics so you’re ready to give them information that helps them make the decision. What’s the payoff for people being on their phones all the time? That’s a huge cultural and societal question more than anything else – we do it because everyone is, but it’s also how we stay in touch. As to the why, I think it’s partly the dopamine hit, part is marketing. We’re told we’re missing out if we don’t have this in our life. I think it’s also because it’s a way to enhance relationships. I always look at it from the point of view of how many people I’m still in contact with from Australia because of technology. I’m also leveraging my social media as a tool to pass my faith on to my kids. I started writing out all my thoughts on Instagram in the form of devotionals. My daughters read them and they may or may not have heard it otherwise. Do you have any closing thoughts for us, Dave? It’s all about awareness—how often you are on the phone and not on the phone. How often you’re leveraging technology for good and how often it’s driving a wedge between you. I’ve found birthday and anniversary gifts for my wife from her Pinterest. It’s all about being aware and using it for a positive outcome and not letting it drive a wedge. Your one simple thing for this week: Go 24 hours without any phone – your whole family. Put them in a basket and put them away for the whole day. Show Closing Thanks for joining us for the Married People Podcast. We hope you’ll subscribe to the podcast on iTunes and leave a review.

  Social media, smartphones, laptops–all such wonderful perks of our modern lives and such great ways to keep us connected to our loved ones, world events and even our work, but there are definitely some down sides to the constant barrage of technology.
