This document discusses how digital technologies have changed news and politics by collapsing space and time, allowing for perfect copies and new forms of commentary and reporting through blogs and social media. It has led to more participants playing different roles in sharing news and created challenges around filtering information and maintaining independent reporting as business models change. Examples of these changes are provided.

With the vast increase in technology, the number of ways that the use of cybertechnology impact the personalities are also increasing. Many of the social scientists has proofs for this. One incident, in the 1980s, that quickly caught their attention involved a male psychologist who joined an online forum for disabled persons, where he identified himself as a woman who had become crippled as a result of an automobile accident. Mitch Parsell (2008) describes the Internet as a \"powerful new force\" for what he calls \"the manufacture of identity.\" He believes that this technological medium offers an unparalleled ability to create ourselves in our own image. It gives users an unprecedented capacity to determine their initial presentations to others.In short, it enables users to be masters of their identity. Now when we talk about Ethics and Technology: Controversies, Questions, and Strategies for Ethical Computing: Cybertechnology as a \"Medium of Self-Expression\" Sherry Turkle (2005) notes that by the mid-1980s, computers had become an \"evocative object\"—i.e., an object that \"provoked self- reflection.\" Turkle suggested that a computer could be viewed as a model for analyzing and constructing one\'s identity. She also noted that the computer has become a medium through which people could discover their personal identity; for example, computers provide a context in which individuals can try out different cognitive styles and different methods of problem solving to ultimately discover which style or method they prefer. Because people develop their own unique style of computing, Turkle argues that the computational environment becomes an extension of themselves, in much the same way that their manner of dress is an extension of their personality. So, in her view, a computer can function as a \"medium for self-expression\" as well as for \"self-discovery. Impact of cybertechnology on Sense of Self We have examined some effects that one\'s interactions in virtual or computer-mediated environments, including MOOs and MUDs, can have for one\'s personal identity. 2 main factors are: our relation to nature, our relation to (and sense of place in) the universe. Williams notes that in the aftermath of these milestones, we have a much humbler view of our place in the universe than our ancestors did. How, exactly, has cybertechnology also has influenced the way that we see ourselves in relation to both the factors—i.e., how has this relatively recent technology already begun to define us as human beings? To support Bolter\'s thesis that we have come to see ourselves more and more in computer-like ways, we have only to reflect for a moment on some of the expressions that we now use to describe ourselves. For example, Bolter points out that when psychologists speak of \"input and output states of the brain,\" or of the brain\'s hardware and software, they exemplify Turing\'s men. And when cognitive psychologists study the \"mind\'s algorithm for searchi.

Part 1: Information networking as technology: tools, uses, and socio-technical interactions Information overload! The phrase alone is enough to strike terror into the hardiest of managers; it presages the breakdown of society as we know it and the failure of management to cope with change. The media constantly dissect the forthcoming collapse brought on by TMI ("Too Much Information"), even as they themselves pile up larger and larger dossiers on the subject, and we are frequently informed that it is our own damn fault that we are drowning in data, since we simply can't discriminate between the important stuff and everything else. Hence, the info-tsunami warning signs posted all along what we once so naively called the "information superhighway". Of course, this is arrant nonsense -- human beings have been suffering from information overload in varying forms since about the time we hit the ground and found ourselves simultaneously running after the antelope and away from the lion. There's no question that the human mind has a limited capacity to process information, but after several million years we've gotten pretty good at figuring out how to handle a lot. The two basic tricks turn out to be distinguishing between short-term and long-term information storage, and "chunking" -- putting things in a limited number of baskets. This isn't primarily a course in the psychology of memory -- it's about information tools and systems -- but in fact the same things that make our information tools and systems work are the same things that have kept us near the antelopes and away from the lions (mostly) for the last million years or so. So we're beginning this course by thinking about information tools, what makes them like and unlike other kinds of tools, how the concept of a socio-technical system (in which social and behavioral functions shape results as much as does the technology itself) helps make sense of what we're facing, and why the technology just might win after all. Let's start with a little historical review. Amy Blair has recently done a very intriguing summary of just why information overload isn't something that we, or still less our kids, dreamed up -- people have been drowning in data for ages regardless of the tools at their disposal: Blair, A. (2010) Information Overload, Then and Now. The Chronicle of Higher Education Review. November 28.Retrieved November 15, 2010 from http://chronicle.com/article/Information-Overload-Then-and/125479/?sid=cr&utm_source=cr&utm_medium=en We thought we had it all nailed down when the information theorists came up with their typology distinguishing between "data" (raw stuff), "information" (cooked stuff), and "knowledge" (cooked stuff that we've eaten). This rather elegant approach did have the virtue of emphasizing that information processing is a human task, even though we might delegate part of it to machinery, and that the tests of that task are the results for humans. It helps return us to .

How to manage web projects without setting your hair on fire

Kathy Gill

It seems like everyone in the organization believes they know what makes a website "work" despite having no design training. Managers insist that "their" pages look or act in ways directly contrary to the rest of the website. Or the web. What are the unique characteristics of the web that make managing design a challenge? How can we empower stakeholders while also creating a seamless user experience? And how would an iterative, collaborative design process facilitate a responsive web, one where sites work well on phones, tablets and desktops?

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023

El Estrecho Digital

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global. El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
