Virtual reality: Zoom meetings causing an upsurge in cosmetic surgeries

It’s been months we have been quarantining. The lockdown taught me to bake banana bread, brew the perfect Dalgona coffee, gorge on healthy food to boost immunity, get back to my workout routine, amongst many other things. But, it still hasn’t helped me get over the anxiety I feel every time I attend zoom meetings. I am constantly thinking about how wonky my teeth are or how oily my skin looks or if my double chin is visible or if my acne is getting worse. And, this has resulted in me spending a lot on cosmetics as well as on dermatologist appointments,” says Neha (name changed), who works in a multi-national company in Mumbai.A recent study in the journal Facial Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine says the lockdown has seen a significant increase in the number of plastic surgeries in the US. Are virtual meetings taking a toll on our faces and minds too? Or are these meetings leading to body dysmorphic disorder? Is it the same in Indian? We try to find out with the help of experts.Change in self-imageIndividuals who earlier used to find it difficult to visit a dermatologist or spend on skincare products are now not reluctant to spend money. “I don’t know if it is just the virtual meetings, but since now people get a lot of time at home, they are critically analysing their features,” says Dr Nirupama Parwanda, a Dermatologist associated with myUpchar and Zolie Skin Clinic.Dr Apratim Goel, Cosmetic Dermatologist, Cutis Skin Studio, believes individuals are more conscious about their features when they are attending virtual meetings.

Generation Z: How should brands target and engage them?

Just when brands had thought they had figured out millennials, we now have a whole new generation of consumers to deal with: Generation Z, which typically refers to the generation that was born between 1996-2010 and succeeds the millennials. This generation has been raised on technology, the internet and social media and will soon represent the largest group of consumers – estimated at 40 per cent of global consumers – this year. And yet, many companies are woefully behind in preparing marketing strategies to engage with this very powerful and idiosyncratic demographic. Marketing to a younger demographic is not as easy as it sounds, especially as one needs to throw out the traditional tried-and-tested marketing techniques that have worked so far. A whole new generation requires a whole new way of thinking. However, not all is lost – the fact that they are perpetually online and their purchasing and browsing patterns can be tracked and analysed, helps greatly in demystifying how to best market to Generation Z customers. Here are a few of the best techniques to engage with this predominantly online audience: 1. ‘Stop ’em in their tracks’ video content Having been born at a time when social media and the use of technology is the norm, Gen Z are used to consuming short-form content delivered via video snippets. Instagram stories, TikTok, Snapchat and YouTube are the medium of choice, with attention grabbing visuals, musical backgrounds, visual effects and filters being the standard modus operandi. Anything bland or visually mediocre will be passed over, in favour of a trending video or viral challenge. 2. Never sell a product – sell the benefit Having grown up with the internet, Gen Z is very familiar with online marketing and selling tactics. They are very aware customers who can spot inauthenticity and…

Twitter Fleets slammed for being just like Snapchat, Instagram stories

Social media site Twitter has added a way to make posts that disappear after a few hours, which has outraged the site’s users.Twitter named the “new” feature Fleets and it’s already being roasted for it.The company said it’s to “share fleeting thoughts” but it also shares its name with a popular “bowel irrigation” product.After a trial in Brazil, the feature has been expanded to Twitter’s global users.Many of them hate it and think Twitter should focus on fixing the features it already has.RELATED: Zuckerberg slammed by own staffRELATED: Insta’s ‘awful’ redesign slammedDisappearing content is not a new idea and has already been introduced on a number of other platforms including Facebook. Instagram stories were also panned when they were first introduced but have since grown to become many people’s main point of focus and interaction on the app.Whether that happens on Twitter remains to be seen, but so far user’s are having fun roasting the “new” feature.RELATED: Trump move could be ‘huge’Some defended the app’s decision but hoped it didn’t lead to the site becoming like every other social media platform.Many people’s debut fleets have been pictures of themselves, which has led to some unfortunate ego checks for some on a social media platform where people don’t even know what some of the most popular posters look like.Others have already grown tired of the whole conversation.

Boy had marijuana in his system, records showKiarra Clarisse (Brevard County Sheriff's Office)BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – A mother made her 2-year-old son smoke THC from a vape pen on more than one occasion because she believed the marijuana would help him eat and sleep more, according to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office.Deputies said an ex-girlfriend of 22-year-old Kiarra Clarisse told one of the boy’s family members that Clarisse only wanted to “party, drink and work in the club” and wasn’t properly taking care of her son during her supervised visits.The woman said Clarisse would let her housemates watch the boy even though they were known to drink excessively, records show.The first time the child had been given marijuana, Clarisse sent a Snapchat message to her then-girlfriend claiming the boy had accidentally gotten ahold of her vape pen and smoked the THC oil that was inside, according to the affidavit.

Here Are the Reasons Why Your Snapchat May Be Locked Forever

Navigating the world of social media can be tricky, especially if you're sharing opinions that aren't exactly popular. If you've ever been on the receiving end of schools of outrage fish on Twitter hitting the report button on you just because you said Beyoncé's latest album wasn't all that, then you know how account suspension based on "abuse" is a flawed system. The same applies to Snapchat and a lot of banned users want to know why it is that their accounts are permanently locked.Article continues below advertisementWhy is my Snapchat permanently locked?There are a number of reasons why this could happen, the first being straight up abuse and spam. If you're using the platform to hit up people incessantly in attempts at selling some types of goods and services and links, then you're going to be blocked. You can also get blocked for utilizing "bots" to take over your Snapchat account. Again, if you're doing that in order to try and sell items to people, that falls under spam / phishing.But if you're using bots to just send your nudes to randos, then that'll fall under "abusive behavior." If you're also adding way too many friends without verifying your email address or telephone number, that could also lead to a ban, because the larger your friend group is, the more Snapchat wants to make sure that you're a legit human being and all. Makes sense, no?Article continues below advertisement@Snapchat my account got permanently locked like a bunch of others. I have never spammed or downloaded third party apps, I don’t care for the friends on there I just want my high school memories & Disney memories back.— carla (@Carluh_Riveruh) November 17, 2020 The reasons for being "permanently locked" aren't all bad, though.
