Children are humiliating victims by using memes and chat rooms to 'roast' them in the latest cyberbullying craze

Topic Tags | childhood, cyberbullying, gender, texting, youth
Summary | Parents and teachers are worried about one type of cyberbullying; children pick on another with offensive abuse until the victim ‘cracks’. Girls seem to be twice as likely as boys to be perpetrators and victims of cyberbullying (boys seem to be more involved in physical bullying). It usually happens in group chats where people know each other. Cyberbullying is a competitive activity; the most offensive thing someone says, the better. One of the downsides of the digital era is cyberbullying and our children's protection.

Topic Tags | texting, Twitter
Summary | Why does Twitter only allow a limit of 140 characters? When Twitter was created, they decided to develop a system that would mirror the SMS system with its 160-character limit. They tried to do that, but they also needed space for the sender's username and the colon that precedes the tweet. Maybe Twitter will increase the limit in the future.

Topic Tags | Snapchat, social media, texting, threat
Summary | The texting revolution, as with other major and rapid technological advances, has inspired moral panic. People think that we are becoming less social. It might be true, but we should also look at the advantages of new technologies. For instance, texting has allowed a whole generation to be free from the "stricture" and "inconvenience" of phone calls. Snapchat is one the latest technological trends and it goes beyond words. It's the most well realized way of expressing meaning. With texting, people tried to find ways to approximate normal human conversations (e.g. typing awareness indicator, or read receipt), but they are almost as awkward as phone calls. The author of the article talks about voice memos and the fact that they are becoming more popular. She also talks about Snapchat and how different it is from other social networks; Snapchat is the place where you can be yourself.
