Create a visual mind-map to start exploring which topics you perceive as urgent.
Add a preliminary conclusion based on this exploration, which topic(s) speak to you the most and why?
social interactions and relationships with different levels of privacy and trust, where people are sharing information, knowledge and resources
Without users' presence, interaction and information sharing, social networks provide limited value
Social
Media
interactive personal involvement, interactive concentration/focus, interactive message and interactive control
Interactivity
Perceived interaction within social networks.

Identity
Artificial Intelligence

Norms
Interactivity that takes place within and between social networking environments - could the boundaries of social media interactivity be stretched beyond the virtual spaces?

user-generated content, decentralization, and rich user experience
4 criteria construct the meaning of social:
(a) information (and consequently cognition)
(b) communication involving a reciprocal interaction process between at least two participants
(c) community
(d) collaboration and cooperative work
the absence of verbal and contextual cues (e.g., body language, facial expression, or tone) in online mediated environments could be compensated by users’ familiarity and experience with a platform
social media contains a lot of information shared by users, but not
all information requires the same amount of cognitive effort in production and consumption
transmission of information is not enough to claim for interactivity, but interactivity requires transmission of information in order to exist

Conclusion:
Within the core of these ideas stands the growing importance of social media and the interactive communication it provides us with. Social platforms have not only become an ordinary, basic step in our daily routines, but are beginning to reshape the way we perceive and interact with numerous non digital matters. This is why it's important to understand what precisely is social media giving us, and what information remains subconsciously registered, therefore unknowingly impacting our decision making process?
