6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Hello.
2
This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Neil.
4
And I'm Pippa.
5
Whatever you think of social media,
6
in less than a generation it has changed the internet.
7
Facebook, Twitter and in the early days MySpace used to be places to post messages to friends friends
8
or share photos of your breakfast.
9
But with the rise of AI,
10
the fun of connecting with friends changed into something much stranger,
11
as Tristan and Asma, presenters of BBC World Service programme The Global Story, found out.
12
Oh, what is this?
13
I think it's a man who's supposed to look like Jesus.
14
It's a man who looks a bit like...
15
Who also looks like his dog.
16
He's been AI'd, right?
17
Has to be AI'd.
18
He's holding his dog and his face looks like his dog,
19
so he's half Jesus, half dog.
20
A half-dog, half-Jesus photo is generated by AI and posted online.
21
It's an example of how the use of AI in social media has evolved
22
so much that today it's hard to know what's created by humans and what's not.
23
In this episode, we'll discuss how social media is changing in the age of AI and,
24
as usual, we'll learn some useful new words and phrases.
25
And remember, you'll find all the vocabulary along with a transcript on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
26
But first, I have a question for you, Pippa.
27
You mentioned MySpace as one of the earliest social media platforms,
28
but the first electronic message was actually sent much earlier,
29
in 1844, using a series of dots and dashes tapped out by hand on a telegraph wire.
30
So what was this new form of communication called?
31
Was it a semaphore, b dial-up, or c morse code?
32
I think Morse code.
33
OK, we'll find out the answer later.
34
The introduction of AI has turned some users away from social media.
35
Indeed, a recent report found that social media activity peaked in 2022 and has been going down ever since.
36
Millennial and digital native Kyle Chaker is a writer specialising in social media.
37
He spoke about the problem to Tristan Redmond for BBC World Service programme The Global Story.
38
Okay, Carl, was there a moment for you when you felt like social media changed?
39
Oh man, I mean, in 2015,
40
2016, I think, in the United States,
41
when Twitter became the hub of election discourse,
42
it kind of shattered the illusion
43
that the internet was a space you could go to just like have fun
44
and express yourself and finds cool friends and discuss the latest cultural happenings.
45
Kyle uses the informal expression, Oh man! an exclamation showing excitement or enthusiasm.
46
He remembers the internet in 2016,
47
when Twitter was full of angry political debate about the US elections.
48
For Kyle, this shattered the illusion that the internet was fun.
49
If something shatters your illusions,
50
it destroys a false belief you hold,
51
making you realise an unpleasant truth.
52
Kyle thinks social media was friendlier before – an online space to make friends,
53
have fun and discuss the latest cultural happenings.
54
A cultural happening is an event that embodies the values and interests of a particular group at a particular time in history.
55
For example, the hit television show Game of Thrones was a cultural happening for millennials in the 2010s.
56
So, what's the future of social media?
57
Will the amount of AI-generated content continue to grow?
58
Here's Kyle Chaker again sharing his thoughts with BBC World Service's The Global Story.
59
We see the large social networks and the tech behemoths leaning into generated content.
60
And I think users don't actually want that.
61
I think it's a novelty for now and people will drift away from it.
62
So instead, I see people gravitating towards smaller online spaces,
63
connecting more closely with individual voices like creator types,
64
and just posting less in general.
65
Kyle thinks the tech behemoths,
66
meaning large and powerful companies, will continue pushing AI.
67
However, many people want content which is more personal and meaningful.
68
They think AI is a novelty,
69
something which is new and unusual and therefore exciting,
70
but which probably won't last.
71
Instead, Kyle thinks people will gravitate towards smaller online communities.
72
If you gravitate towards something,
73
you are naturally drawn or attracted to it.
74
Social media has changed fast and is still in motion.
75
It's come a long way from the first electronic messages of 1844,
76
which you mentioned in your question, Neil.
77
So, did I get the correct answer?
78
I asked what this new form of communication was and you said that it was C,
79
Morse code, and that, Pippa, is the correct answer.
80
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned,
81
starting with the exclamation, oh man,
82
used to show excitement or enthusiasm.
83
To shatter an illusion is to destroy someone's misconceptions,
84
causing them to realise an unpleasant reality.
85
A cultural happening is an event that embodies the values and interests of a particular social group at a particular time.
86
A behemoth is an extremely large and powerful company or organisation.
87
A novelty is something which is new and unusual and therefore exciting.
88
And finally, if you gravitate towards something,
89
you are naturally attracted to it.
90
Once again, our six minutes are up,
91
but if you're still using the internet,
92
head over to our website bbclearningenglish.com where you'll find a worksheet and quiz for this episode.
93
See you again soon, but for now it's goodbye.
94
Goodbye.

Guia Passo a Passo de Shadowing
O shadowing em inglês é uma técnica eficaz para melhorar sua pronúncia e fluência. Aqui está um guia para você praticar com este vídeo:
- Escute atentamente: Ouça o episódio completo pelo menos uma vez sem interrupções para entender o contexto geral.
- Identifique frases-chave: Enquanto escuta, anote as frases que mais te chamam a atenção, especialmente aquelas que você gostaria de usar em sua prática de conversação em inglês.
- Repita em voz alta: Use a técnica de shadow speech, repetindo as falas dos apresentadores imediatamente após ouvi-las. Foque na entonação e na pronúncia.
- Grave sua prática: Faça uma gravação de você mesmo praticando as frases. Compare com a gravação original e identifique áreas para melhorar.
- Pratique regularmente: Para manter o progresso, integre sessões diárias de shadowspeaks em sua rotina. Escolha diferentes episódios e siga o mesmo processo.
Este método te permitirá não apenas se familiarizar com a linguagem cotidiana, mas também a desenvolver uma confiança maior ao se comunicar. Utilize um shadowing site ou aplicativos de áudio para facilitar sua prática e dividir seus avanços com amigos ou outros aprendizes.
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
