The 4th Insight Student Conference will take place on September 8, 2017 in the Western Gateway Building, University College Cork, Ireland. The theme of the conference is “Connecting the Centres” and the goals are to:
Cyberpsychology is the study of the impact of technology on human behaviour, over 30 peer-reviewed journals now publish in this area - currently generating over 1,000 articles per annum. Cyberpsychologists provide insight at the intersection between humans and technology. It is anticipated that as a discipline cyberpsychology will continue to enjoy exponential growth due to the sustained rapid acceleration of Internet technologies, and their unprecedentedly pervasive and profound influence. ‘The Cyber Effect’ provides some explanatory value regarding the impact of technology on humankind, from child development to online dating, organised cybercrime to cyberchondria. A number of challenges will be discussed; how do we balance competing priorities and interests in cyberspace? Are we losing control of the digital sphere? How can society ensure that technology works in our favour? Arguably what is new is not always good, and technology does not always mean progress.
