Since many digital environments, such as many web technologies, virtual classrooms, and mobile technologies are widely used in formal education, it is possible to assume that the digital era is
located at the very heart of education. In many countries, government policies also support digitalization and technology research in education. The author aims to provide answers by analysing the question from another perspective.
Materials and methods: The first 125 videos published on Youtube.com between January 11 and 18, 2023, accessed with the keyword "erectile dysfunction," published in Turkish, and displayed in search results in a standard order of relevance were studied. Videos that were less than 1 minute long, do not contain information, contains jokes, movie trailers, or product advertisements, were less than 1 month old since their publication, or were unrelated to ED were excluded from the study. The quality of the information content of the videos was assessed using DISCERN scoring. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics 24 software.
Results: It was determined that out of the 100 videos that met the inclusion criteria, 74% were uploaded by healthcare professionals, 3% by the Pharmaceutical Industry, 5% by the Dietary Supplement Industry, 3% by psychologists, and 15% by non-healthcare professionals. When the videos were examined based on their content, it was determined that the topics of the published videos primarily focused on diagnosis and treatment. However, it was also found that there were videos that provided content on the etiopathology and symptoms of the disease. The total duration of the videos was 10 hours, 58 minutes, and 24 seconds (1 minute to 53.05 minutes). While the total number of views was 21.893.514 (15-1.700.000), the total number of likes was determined to be 130.340. The average views were 8.002.64 (1.998.76-11.953.26), and the average monthly likes were 47.30 (11.88-73.1). The average value for DISCERN was calculated to be 3.3 (1-5). There was a negative correlation between the DISCERN scores and the average monthly number of likes. It was found that there was a positive and significant correlation between the duration of videos and DISCERN scores. Videos uploaded by physicians had a high DISCERN score, while the content quality of the other videos was moderate to poor.
Conclusions: Overall, 50% of ED-related videos on YouTube have moderate to poor content quality. Videos uploaded by physicians had high DISCERN scores and high likes and view rates. A negative correlation existed between DISCERN ratings and average monthly likes and views.
Bu “gelecek”, özellikle covid19'un etkisiyle, çoğu kişinin düşündüğünden çok daha yakın bir zamanda gerçekleşecektir. Sağlıkla ilgili endişeler, insanların daha uzun yaşama istekleri, genç kalma arzusu gibi içgüdüler, insanların sürekli bir arayışta olmasını tetiklemektedir. Bu arayış, teknoloji ve sağlık çerçevesindedir. Sağlık ve teknolojik destekle daha üst bir seviyeye dönüşen insanı savunan görüş olan transhümanizm, ölümsüzlük arayışı içinde değildir. Bunun yerine kaliteli-sağlıklı-uzun ömürlü bir insana dönüşümü savunan bir görüştür. Transhumanizm, bilim ve teknolojinin tüm imkânlarının dönüşmüş bir insan için seferber edildiği bir felsefedir. İnsanoğlunun bu dönüşüm sürecinde kullanılan bilim ve teknolojinin imkânları NBIC (Nano, Bio, Info, Cogno), yani nanoteknoloji, biyoloji, iletişim ve cognitive (bilişsel) başlıkları altında ele alınmaktadır. Bu bölümde, biohacking ve transhumana yönelik yapılmış çalışmalar incelenmektedir.
