Here is a more detailed oral expansion for each slide, suitable for a longer presentation or deeper explanation:

Slide 1 – Title Slide

Oral Expansion:
Good morning/afternoon, everyone. My name is Joaquín Sánchez Martínez, and today I will be presenting on a topic that touches all our lives in the digital age: “Screens, Systems, and Safety: Understanding Multimedia, AI, and Online Privacy.” We’ll explore how the technologies we use every day—from videos to virtual assistants—shape how we learn, communicate, and protect ourselves online.

Slide 2 – Multimedia

Oral Expansion:
Let’s start with multimedia. At its core, multimedia is the integration of different content forms—text, images, audio, video, and animation—into a single experience. Think of a YouTube tutorial, a Netflix documentary, or even an interactive website. It’s how we tell stories, share knowledge, and connect in today’s digital world.

Slide 3 – Pros & Cons of Multimedia

Oral Expansion:
Multimedia offers great benefits: it simplifies complex ideas through visuals, spreads information globally in seconds, and fosters creativity. However, it also has downsides: misinformation can spread easily, excessive screen time affects health, and it can distract students from their studies. It’s a powerful tool, but it requires mindful use.

Slide 4 – AI

Oral Expansion:
Now, let’s talk about artificial intelligence. AI is not just robots; it’s about systems that learn, adapt, and perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. From writing emails with ChatGPT to creating videos with Sora AI, it’s transforming how we work, create, and solve problems—often in just seconds.

Slide 5 – Pros & Cons of AI

Oral Expansion:
AI’s advantages are clear: it saves time by automating routine tasks, enhances convenience through smart devices, and supports learning with personalized tools. But we must also acknowledge the risks: over-reliance can weaken critical thinking, AI can generate false information, and automation may displace jobs in certain sectors. The key is balanced, informed use.

Slide 6 – Privacy Settings & Online Safety

Oral Expansion:
Moving to privacy settings & online safety—these are the digital tools that give you control over your personal information. Whether it’s setting your TikTok account to private or using two-factor authentication like Microsoft Authenticator, these measures help block strangers and protect your data from unauthorized access.

Slide 7 – Online Privacy Pros & Cons

Oral Expansion:
Strong privacy settings protect your identity, give you control over your digital footprint, and reduce cyber risks like phishing or bullying. However, managing privacy isn’t always easy: settings can be confusing, it takes ongoing effort, and no system is completely foolproof. Staying safe is a continuous practice.

Let’s take a moment to reflect on what we’ve covered so far before looking at some real-world data and scenarios.

Slide 9 – Social Media Usage (2004–2018)

Oral Expansion:
This graph shows the explosive growth of social media from 2004 to 2018. Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, and others saw user numbers skyrocket into the billions. This visual reminds us how connected—and exposed—we have become. With great connectivity comes great responsibility for our privacy.

Slide 10 – Scenario: “Picture This…”

Oral Expansion:
Consider this real-life scenario: Will creates a public social media account and shares photos of his school, team, and daily life. One day, a stranger comments mentioning his school. Will realizes he’s shared too much with the wrong audience. This illustrates how oversharing can lead to discomfort, risk, and even danger.

Slide 11 – Safety Recommendations

Oral Expansion:
So, how can we stay safe? Here are some practical steps:

1. Always check privacy settings—set accounts to private.
2. Use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication.
3. Think before you post—avoid sharing locations or sensitive details.
4. Limit friend requests to people you actually know.
5. Turn off location sharing unless necessary.
6. Stay informed—read app policies and update settings regularly.
7. Report anything suspicious.

By adopting these habits, we can enjoy technology without compromising our safety.
