One of the most important legacies of the pandemic must be the escalation of our digital lifestyle. Isn’t it? The workforce is now redefined, and working is no longer necessarily associated with commuting to the workplace, as we can now work from anywhere, including our own homes.
But with this ease or comfort (to some, at least), comes a rise in digital hazard. Online civility is now a new challenge for our young workforce. Issues such as digital literacy, online security and data protection are among the soft skills required for our knowledge workers today.
This challenge is supported by the latest reports from the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2023 and Microsoft’s Global Online Safety Survey 2023 on parents’ and kids’ perceptions of online safety. For more on this phenomenon and other related observations, I am sharing my view with the crowd of the first International Conference on Psychology, Health, and Humanity organised by Universitas ‘Aisyiyah Yogyakarta (UNISA) on 8th July 2023 (online).
I’d like to thank the leadership of UNISA, especially Rector Warsiti as well as the leadership at the Psychology Programme of the University including its lecturer Ms Ratna Yunita for having me as one of the speakers.
The slides of my presentation can be obtained by the participants from this link.
