This document reviews literature related to the proliferation of websites and social networking sites. It examines several books that have been written about the internet and how it has impacted society. The objectives of the study are to analyze how the internet affects research scholars by examining whether it provides a better research environment or hampers quality, and how the overabundance of online information impacts researchers. Survey results show that most researchers use the internet for study and research, but also acknowledge issues like legitimacy of information and susceptibility to malpractices. The conclusion discusses how internet access is now essential for research but proper awareness is still needed to avoid issues, and universities must support researchers by updating facilities and integrating digital tools and resources.

Technology Education

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

• There has been a massive proliferation in the numbers of popular websites and social networking sites,

• Internet critics and writers like James Slevin 2000, Allan Martin 2006, Jan Nederveen 2009, have come up
with books on or relating to Internet,

• They are either collections of their own popular critical writings or biographies of Internet and societies,

• Shell Oil‟s book with the title ‘Strategic use of website’, has created a benchmark, but none on their own
craft,

• The fascination to New media is what Y.K.D‟Souza called, “A willful suicide” in his book „Electronic
Media and The Internet’.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

•To study the purpose of New media, especially Internet on Research Scholars.

*To analyze internet gives better research environment or hampering the quality of research.

•To know the over-flux of information on the Internet websites affect the Researcher.

•To justify whether internet has taken over the traditional and library sources.

•To understand the importance of internet awareness programme in universities.

• This study is an exploratory and analytical in nature.

• Carried out through triangulation method.

• Using the information collected by primary and secondary sources.

• Discussion approaches through perspectives drawn from the survey method.

 Research scholars employing internet as a research tools should be accepted by Universities.

 “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing” and yes! Internet awareness program should be given once in a
semester.

 All the internet facilities and systems are kept ready to use and user friendly to the researchers.

 University computer center must updated the latest tools, to make the researchers easy to access.

 The latest state-of-art trend to digitalize the libraries, class rooms etc. must have taken into serious
consideration.

CONCLUSION
INTO THE DEATH END …

From the story so far… we can now come to the ‘Moral of the Story’:

Internet is a basic raw material to the high-end research institutes in today‟ academia.

Neophyte Researchers are vulnerable to malpractices, however proper awareness will mitigate
this act.

The introduction of digital library, web portals, e-books etc. gives a tremendous impact in
research.

Internet facilities should be installed through the guidance of experts, and upgrades the research
curricula.

The world is compressed to a small global village and over-skidded the time-speed of hours to
seconds.

Perhaps the quest of bringing and maintaining a high standard research environment ends here.

This document summarizes a study on how social media shapes and publicizes social issues. The study analyzed the content on social media platforms like blogs, social networking sites, and content communities. It found that social media allows for faster communication over long distances and a big audience for sociability. However, social media also poses issues like lack of identity verification, invasion of privacy, misinterpretation of information, and dissemination of information without consent that can be addressed through self-regulation or moderate government policies.

This study examined the relationship between personality traits and Facebook use among Indian respondents of different ages. It found that older Facebook users generally had lower levels of extraversion, conscientiousness, and emotional stability but spent similar amounts of time on Facebook as more extraverted younger users. Additionally, older users viewed Facebook as more of a daily routine while younger users used it more for communication and social interaction. The study suggests Facebook provides an equal experience for introverts and extraverts.

Jim Porter

The document discusses perspectives on discoverability in mobile marketing. It summarizes research findings from a survey of 1,500 mobile device owners. Some key findings include: - People are more engaged in active discovery on tablets than mobile phones, searching mostly for familiar companies, apps and topics rather than truly new discoveries. - Most mobile/tablet searches are for things users already have a relationship with, rather than exploration of new options. Apps need to be part of the mobile strategy, as many search for familiar company apps. - Reliance should be placed more on passive discovery, as users show lower interest in actively using mobile to find new websites, and are more likely to come across unfamiliar products, websites

The document discusses the impact of media on young people's culture and lifestyle in Coimbatore, India. It conducted interviews with 25 randomly selected respondents aged 18-25. The findings show that young people spend 1-8 hours per day on their mobile phones and prefer fast food. Their dress habits and leisure activities have shifted from traditional Indian styles to more western influences. The media, especially mobile phones and the internet, are changing how young people interact and find romantic partners through sites like Shaadi.com instead of traditional arranged marriages. In conclusion, subcultures like nightclub culture may become the dominant culture for young people in the future due to media influences.

This document summarizes a research study about resurrecting one's identity on Facebook after deleting their original account. It discusses how users can navigate the space of social networking to reestablish themselves through creating a new "embryo account" and reterritorializing their online network and identity in a similar way that family lineages are established in traditional societies. The study examines issues of online visibility, profile construction, and self-disclosure in social media spaces through the theoretical lenses of Foucault's concept of panopticism and Deleuze and Guattari's ideas around deterritorialization and reterritorialization of networks and identity.

Overall, the media coverage fostered "Dalitophobia" similar to how some Western media coverage fuels Islamophobia.

Kaushik Mishra-Human Rights perspective and public awareness: The medium of film

pumediaseminar2011

This document discusses how Hindi films have portrayed issues related to human rights over time to raise awareness among the public in India. It analyzes films from different eras - before independence, during independence, and after independence - that highlighted topics like farmers' exploitation, untouchability, women's conditions, and communal peace. While Indian films have covered human rights issues to some extent, the document argues they have been slow compared to Western films and can do more to clearly convey that certain rights like freedom and equality are part of human rights. Overall, Hindi films have played an important role in educating people about human rights, even if there is still room for improvement.

The document discusses interaction as a pedagogical construct in an emerging online community of learning on Facebook. It defines networked learning and discusses the characteristics of social networking sites, including a sense of belonging and autonomy. Communities of learning are explained as having three dimensions: a domain of common ground, a community that facilitates sharing ideas, and a shared practice. The emerging online community in this case featured students from three universities in India interacting on Facebook to share resources, debate, and discuss while bridging distances. Certain students exhibited more overt self-projection than others through their interactions. Social presence and self-presentation are discussed as accepted theoretical premises for interaction in online learning platforms.

The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of e-governance services provided by Akshaya telecentres from the perspective of users. Akshaya is an ICT project in Kerala that established telecentres to provide e-literacy training and access to government citizen services. The study found that while awareness of services was high, usage was relatively low. Most users visited for browsing and email rather than government services. Key barriers to use included lack of awareness, telecentres being too far, and unsuitable operating hours. The study concluded effective communication strategies are needed to increase community participation and involvement in such projects.
