Social media is a mega-industry built by systematically monetizing the exploitation of human emotions, reactions, and biases. The authors explain how this industry became so profitable by creating a fear of missing out (FOMO) to command our attention, blending news and content in one feed to keep users 'in-app', and using powerful algorithms to promote more provocative posts, filter content, and trigger the reward centres of our brains. The authors examine how decentralized technologies, including cryptocurrencies, tokenization, and blockchain are being developed and deployed into new social media applications. The authors speculate on how these blockchain-backed startups could challenge the status quo and appeal to new expectations of user privacy, tighter regulation, and a more equitable monetization system.

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan teknologiavälitteisen kommunikaation muotoja ja merkityksiä Kaj Korkea-ahon ja Ted Forsströmin nuortenromaanisarjassa Zoo! (2017–2019). Kirjasarjan kerronta rakentuu henkilökertoja Atlaksen sähköpostiviesteistä ystävälleen Elliottille, mutta sosiaalinen media on keskeisesti läsnä kertomuksen kokonaisuudessa sekä tarinamaailman sisäisenä että kerronnallisena elementtinä. Viestintämuotojen funktioita pohditaan yhtäältä lajiteoreettisesta, toisaalta henkilöhahmojen välisen dynamiikan rakentumisen näkökulmasta. Aluksi eritellään kirjasarjan lajityypillisiä piirteitä kirje- ja sähköpostiromaanin viitekehyksessä ja hahmotellaan sähköpostiromaanin ominaislaatua kirjeromaanin perinteenjatkajana sosiaalisen median aikakaudella. Tämän jälkeen tarkastellaan miten erilaiset sosiaalisesta mediasta kumpuavat vaikenemisen, vastaamattomuuden ja kohtaamattomuuden muodot vaikuttavat henkilökertojan ihmissuhteisiin aktuaalissa tarinamaailmassa. Ilmiötä jäsennetään sosiaalisen median aikakaudella yleistyneen paitsi jäämisen pelon (fear of missing out, FoMO) sekä kyberostrakismin ja kyberstalkkauksen käsitteiden avulla. Kyberostrakismilla viitataan paitsi eristämiseen, myös vastaamattomuuteen ja blokkaamiseen sosiaalisen median alustoilla, kyberstalkkaamisella puolestaan pakonomaiseen tietyn käyttäjän sosiaalisen median sisällön seuraamiseen sekä siihen, millaisia tunteita ja reaktioita se sisällön tuottajassa herättää. Artikkelissa osoitetaan, että vuorovaikutuksen välineellisyyttä alleviivaavina ja tematisoivina elementteinä sähköposti ja sosiaalinen media ovat merkittävä osa henkilöhahmojen välisten suhteiden sekä juonen rakentumista. Sosiaalinen media on enemmän kuin pelkkä väline vuorovaikutussuhteiden ylläpitoon: sosiaalisella medialla on merkittävä rooli henkilökertojan määrittäessä ja muodostaessa ihmissuhteitaan ja käsityksiään muista henkilöhahmoista myös aktuaalissa tarinamaailmassa. Vastaavasti sähköposti ei ole vain kertojan 1990-luvun jäänteeksi luonnehtima viestintämuoto, vaan keino pyrkiä irtautumaan sosiaalisen median impulsiivisuudesta ja ylittämään välimatkat, joita ei muutoin voi ylittää.

The aim of this study is to examine the frequency rate of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) in both male and female students under some variables. Social media platforms which became an inseparable part of daily life have caused individuals to spend more time in the virtual world. From Sports Sciences, a total of 465 students (274 males and 191 females) who study in different departments and who are in different grades have participated in the present study which is pretty limited availably in Turkish in the literature. In the research, "Fear of Missing Out in Social Settings Scale" the Turkish version that is adapted by (Gökler et al., 2016) of the scale “Motivational, emotional, and behavioral correlates of fear of missing out" which is developed by (Przybylski, 2013) was used as a data collection tool. In the present study, statistical analysis of data has been performed through SPSS 26 program, t-tests, and One Way ANOVA tests. According to T-test results of FOMO averages based on sex, no significant difference has been found. It has been established that students who are not engaged in any sports activity (X=4.05) have a higher rate of FOMO on social media as compared to those who play sports (X=2.95), it has been established that students who check their phones right after they wake up (X=3.70) and students who spend time with their phones before sleeping (X=3.75) have higher FOMO averages as compared to those who don't check (X=3.40) or spend time with their phones(X=3,42). A significant difference has been detected (p>0.05). According to One Way ANOVA Post-toc tests which were based on daily social media usage durations and departments of the students. No significant difference has been established FOMO levels of students based on the grade they are in and the number of social media they own.

Internet addiction (IA) has mostly been investigated with the fear of missing out and difficulties in emotional regulation. The present study examined the link between IA and variables related to problematic social media use (i.e., fear of missing out, social media addiction), together with emotional (dys)regulation and personality traits, providing new insights and an integrated assessment of IA. In total, 397 participants, aged 18–35 years (M = 22.00; SD = 3.83), were administered a set of questionnaires pertaining to IA, problematic social media use, emotional (dys)regulation, and personality traits. Pearson’s correlations showed significant associations between IA and the investigated variables, and the tested mediation model highlighted the crucial role played by emotional (dys)regulation in the fear of missing out and problematic use of social networks. Overall, the findings provide support for a new integrated model for understanding the features, predictors, and risk factors of IA.

As inovações tecnológicas otimizaram novas possibilidades de interações pessoais no ambiente virtual, causando, no entanto, significativas mudanças comportamentais em certas ocasiões. O objetivo deste artigo é identificar as correlações das novas tecnologias com a realidade contemporânea, tendo o episódio intitulado “Nosedive” (em portuguêsbrasileiro,“Queda Livre”) da terceira temporada da série “Black Mirror” (Brooker, 2016) como contexto representativo de uma sociedade cada vez mais conectada em ambientes virtuais, exibindo comportamentos que por vezes geram dissonâncias cognitivas nos conceitos de cidadania. Após a análise com metodologia dialética, aproximando o episódio em análise com o que a sociedade tecnológica está exibindo, a conclusão é que o episódio “Queda Livre” está potencializando a cultura do impressionar, que retrata o desespero de indivíduos por serem notados e aceitos em uma sociedade, incluindo a síndrome de FOMO (Fear of Missing Out/medo de ficar de fora), patologia cada vez mais presente, que questiona conceitos de cidadania em redes sociais e ambientes virtuais. O referencial teórico para a análise inclui conceitos de Zygmunt Bauman, Massimo Di Felice, Pierre Lévy, Andrew Keen e SherryTurkle.“Nosedive”: Citizenship Concepts in Episode of the Series Black MirrorAbstractThe technological innovations have optimized new possibilities for personal interactions in the virtual environment, causing, however, significant behavioral changes on occasion. The aim of this article is to identify the correlations of new technologies with contemporary reality, with the episode entitled “Nosedive” (in Brazilian-Portuguese, “Free Fall”) from the third season of the series “Black Mirror” (Brooker, 2016) as context representative of a society increasingly connected in virtual environments, exhibiting behaviors that sometimes generate cognitive dissonance in the concepts of citizenship. After analyzing with dialectical methodology, bringing the episode under analysis closer to what the technological society is exhibiting, the conclusion is that the episode "Free Fall" is enhancing the culture of impressing, which portrays the despair of individuals for being noticed and accepted in a society, including the syndrome of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out/fear of being left out), an increasingly present pathology that questions concepts of citizenship in social networks and virtual environments. The theoretical framework for the analysis includes concepts by Zygmunt Bauman, Massimo Di Felice, Pierre Lévy, Andrew Keen and SherryTurkle.Keywords: Behavior; communication; social nets; virtual scenery; citizenship.

Since the outbreak of Covid-19, the use of digital devices, especially smartphones, remarkably increased. Smartphone use belongs to one’s daily routine, but can negatively impact physical and mental health, performance, and relationships if used excessively. The present study aimed to investigate potential correlates of problematic smartphone use (PSU) severity and the mechanisms underlying its development. Data of 516 smartphone users from Germany (Mage = 31.91, SDage = 12.96) were assessed via online surveys in April and May 2021. PSU severity was significantly negatively associated with sense of control. In contrast, it was significantly positively linked to fear of missing out (FoMO), repetitive negative thinking (RNT), and daily time spent on smartphone use. In a moderated mediation analysis, the negative relationship between sense of control and PSU severity was significantly mediated by FoMO. RNT significantly moderated the positive association between FoMO and PSU severity. Specifically, the higher the RNT, the stronger the relationship between FoMO and PSU. The present findings disclose potential mechanisms that could contribute to PSU. Potential ways of how to reduce PSU severity are discussed.
