“…The “digital” or “third industrial revolution” initiated approximately 50 years ago, signifying a massive transition from mechanical and analogic communication to digital media (Schoenherr, 2004). These media include all forms of audiovisual, application-software, and/or other types of content, which may be generated, modified, saved, or sourced via a digital channel, using a code that encrypts and translates data (Smith, 2013). As the major volume of digital media employs the Internet, the terms are often utilized interchangeably (Chayko, 2020).…”

Abstract. Due to continued groundbreaking digital advancements, Internet use has increased significantly. This has led to a heated debate in relation to weighing the many advantages of the technology against its potentially deleterious effects. To address such questions, experts converge on the need for greater knowledge around the way individual differences, partly shaped by an individual’s unique experiences of engaging with the medium, and partly by other real-life experiences, lead to different developmental trajectories. Consequently, the goals of the present review are to (i) broadly describe differences in digital media applications, users, and usage; (ii) introduce the Cyber-Developmental Framework (CDF), as an overarching framework for understanding individual differences in adaptive and maladaptive digital media use among youth; (iii) delineate the cyber-component of this framework in relation to users’ experience of the digital context, their activity within it, as well as their digital self-presence, which may have an impact on their digital media use; and (iv) summarize priorities and future directions through the lens of this CDF. Within this context, this review particularly emphasizes the effect of digital media use on youth’s psychological well-being. It is argued that the trajectory youth will follow in their use of the Internet is a function of the interplay between their characteristics, their proximate and distal contexts, and the particular features of the digital application(s) that the individual is engaged in. The review points to the need to conduct research focusing on better understanding the developmental and digital-context-related influences on youth’s trajectories of Internet use.

“…Contemporary digital media accommodate a range of instrumental, socialization, and entertainment aspects (Smith, 2013). Instrumental aspects involve uses dictated by an individual’s real-life needs across life domains such as education, employment, and health (Gomes & Dias, 2019).…”

“…In his essay "What a difference a difference makes," Jonathan Z. Smith discusses how difference is not merely an indicator of distinctiveness between agents in equal standing. 18 Rather, differentiation between us and them, or the act of distinguishing Others, "is a matter of relative rather than absolute difference." 19 Further, identifying difference often entails "a hierarchy of prestige and ranking."…”

W inning both the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival 2019 and Best Picture-along with Best Directing, Script, and International Feature Film-at the 2020 Oscars, Parasite achieved unprecedented international success for a South Korean film. It is even more striking to find that a film shot entirely in the Korean language with South Korean production received the highest honor at the Oscars, a generally domestic film festival in the United States. Admittedly, the filmmaker, Bong Joonho, 1 was not only already a top-tier director in South Korea, but also a reputable auteur of cinema who had gained international fame since the early 2000s and made major films in the United States, including Snowpiercer (2013) and Okja (2017). The mastery of Bong's filmmaking is evident: storytelling that can grab the audience "by the collar and shake them up," 2 a detail-oriented cinematography, and impeccable editing that deserves textbook status at film schools. That said, the triumph of Parasite goes beyond Bong's previous successes in the field of international film festivals and art houses, and beyond his existing accomplishments as a filmmaker. Parasite speaks to the broader public because its narrative is centered on the practice of today's ubiquitous religion, global capitalism. The relationship between religion and capitalism, or capitalism as a religion, is a classic subject of religious studies, since Max Weber's The Protestant Ethics and the Spirit of Capitalism. Among many other works on religion and capitalism, I draw particularly on Walter Benjamin's 1921 fragment, "Capitalism as Religion." Benjamin's fragment was published in 1985, long after his death, and it is an incomplete piece of writing that Religion of Mammon and Parasite Although Bong has a Catholic background-his baptismal name is "Michael"-he hardly uses religious elements in his films except for a small number of depictions of Korean Protestant evangelicals. 8 Parasite is

This study attempted to investigate the exposure to YouTube ads among Egyptian college students, their attitudes towards these ads, behavioral intentions to watch them and the effects of this exposure and to examine the relationships among these variables as well. The current study was theoretically guided by the theory of reasoned action (TRA) and cognitive-affective behavioral model (CAB) through a questionnaire administered to a purposive sample of 390 college students, who watch YouTube videos, from Cairo University, Egypt from February to May 2019.
