Our guest today, Dr. Pamela Wisniewski, is the Task Force Chair at the University of Central Florida’s Socio-Technical Interaction Lab and a professor at the university’s Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Department.
Much of her research focuses on the threats and impact of social media on youth and adolescents. From mental health struggles on youngsters from bullying online to the need for online safety for parents and children to the threats of privacy, she has been a part of more than a 100 publications related to the field.
In our insightful conversation, she explains the major pitfalls of the social media landscape, if there are any rays of hope for us living in a social dilemma that threatens our privacy, and how we can become more aware and cautious consumers of digital media for the future.
