Slide for English Version

截至2023年4月，全球有51.8亿互联网和社交媒体用户。虽然社交媒体已彻底改变了我们与他人交流、连接并分享信息的方式，但它也带来了一系列挑战。其中, 之一是社交媒体上的内容与我们日常经历的现实之间存在着不同之处。

As of April 2023, there are 5.18 billion internet and social media users worldwide. While social media has revolutionized the way we connect, communicate, and share information, it also presents a range of issues. One such issue is the dichotomy between what is presented on ‘social media’ versus the ‘reality’ of our everyday experiences.

社交媒体扭曲了人们对生活真正意义的看法。在社交媒体上，人们展示他们精心策划的生活图片和视频，呈现出"完美的工作"、"完美的关系"和"完美的体态"，与现实往往出现巨大的落差。更令人担忧的是，一些人利用社交媒体传播错误信息，误导他们的用户和追随者。比如，一些有在社交媒体上有影响力的人可能鼓励年轻人遵循不健康的饮食习惯、购买对他们的健康有负面影响的产品与一些不正确的观念。

Social media has created a distorted idea about the true meaning of living. On social media, people present pictures and videos of their carefully curated lives, showcasing "perfect jobs," "perfect relationships," and "perfect bodies," when reality is often quite different from what is portrayed. More concerning is the fact that some individuals misuse social media to spread misinformation and deceive their users and followers. Certain influencers, for example, may encourage young people to follow harmful diets or purchase products and ideas that have negative effects on their physical and mental health.

Misty与Rosio本次的AIC talk演讲旨在对社交媒体对我们生活的影响进行批判性评估。作为演讲者，他们分享了自己使用社交媒体的经验，并强调在网络世界里的我们有多容易成为这个现象的奴隶，追求着虚拟角色、照片和视频的完美。随着我们与虚拟世界的联系越来越紧密，与现实生活的相对隔离也变得更加明显，这为我们在这两个世界之间寻求平衡带来了新的挑战。

Our talk was a critical reflection on how social media impacts our lives. As speakers, we aimed to share our own experiences with using social media and highlight how easily we can become consumed by the movement, preoccupied by our online personas, photos, and videos in the pursuit of perfection. While we have become more connected to our virtual lives, we have also become increasingly disconnected from real life, posing a new challenge for individuals to find a balance between these two worlds.

Misty与Rosio老师阐述了社交媒体对社交关系品质、心理健康问题和孤独感的负面影响，同时也希望为学生们提供一些有用的建议，帮助他们更加健康地使用社交媒体。这些建议包括：意识到社交媒体和现实生活的区别；积极使用社交媒体交流，而不是盲目地浏览；控制使用网络的时间；反思我们浏览的内容对我们身心的影响；多关注那些对我们产生积极影响的账号和页面；最后，我们应该真实地展示自己，塑造积极的形象。

While we addressed the negative effects of social media such as the reduced quality of relationships with family and friends, mental health issues, loneliness, etc, our goal was transmitting some useful tips to make healthier use of social media. These tips included having an awareness that social media is different from real life, using social media to connect rather than mindlessly scrolling, controlling time spent online, reflecting on the content we view and how it makes us feel, following accounts and pages that have a positive impact on us, and finally, showing up authentically and having a positive presence.

Don"t believe everything you see on social media; real life can be even more entertaining.

不要相信你在社交媒体上看到的一切；现实生活可能更具有娱乐性。
