This document summarizes Deborah Fallows' presentation at the Chinese Internet Research Conference in Hong Kong on June 13, 2008. She discusses how China's internet responded immediately after the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, with users sharing news, information, photos, and ways to help. She notes the tone was more humane and less censored than usual. Fallows also compares it to the American internet after 9/11, seeing increased news consumption and community participation. She questions if the earthquake will trigger lasting changes in China's internet, such as new user habits, interests, or attitudes towards government control.

Casting A Wider Net: Using social media to improve scientific research, commu...
This document discusses how social media can be used to improve scientific research, communication, and outreach. It notes that internet and social media usage has increased dramatically in recent years. Many people, especially younger individuals, now get their news and information about science from the internet and social media sites like Facebook and YouTube. The document provides examples of how government agencies like NOAA and individual researchers have successfully used Twitter and other platforms to raise awareness, share their work, and increase website traffic. It emphasizes that scientists need to be creative when utilizing social media and accept that they cannot see all content given the large volume of information available online.

Fake News and the Trouble with Facebook
The document discusses the phenomenon of fake news, describing it as either stories aimed at generating profit through social media clicks or propaganda intended to influence political discourse. It notes fake news proliferated on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter during the 2016 US election. While platforms have taken steps to curb fake news, it remains a challenge due to factors like users not checking sources and algorithms prioritizing engaging content. Potential solutions proposed include restricting anonymous users, offering alternative social media options, and reforming platforms' business models.

Millennials have become increasingly dependent on technology and isolated due to smartphone addiction. Teenagers especially are highly connected to the internet through their phones, with 37% owning smartphones which they often seek to hide usage of from parents. They are frequently on their phones, sending over 100 texts per day and checking phones over 60 times daily. This level of phone usage and fear of being without access has been termed "nomophobia." While technology provides constant connection, it may be negatively impacting teenagers' ability to learn and interact offline. The rise of wearable devices like Google Glass that record life through screens also threatens individual privacy in the digital age.

This document defines cyberbullying and discusses its causes and effects. Cyberbullying involves bullying that occurs through digital devices and social media. Some reasons why people cyberbully include seeking revenge, boosting their ego, finding weaker targets, and entertaining themselves. The effects of cyberbullying can be serious and include developing a bad reputation, skipping school, depression, and even suicide. Addressing cyberbullying requires understanding its causes so that possible solutions can be developed.
Teens and Sexting
Since the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project first started tracking teen cell phone use, the age at which American teens acquire their first cell phone has consistently grown younger. In Pew Internet's 2004 survey of teens, 18% of 12-year-olds owned a cell phone. In 2009, 58% of 12 year-olds own a cell phone. We also have found that cell phone ownership increases dramatically with age: 83% of teens age 17 now own a cell phone, up from 64% in 2004.

This document discusses the risks to children from excessive and unsupervised technology use. It notes that teens are twice as likely to communicate digitally than in person, and 59% have made online friends. However, this leaves them open to risks like sexual solicitation, as 13% of teens have experienced this. Only 15% of online risks are discovered by parents. Victims of internet-initiated sex crimes, which primarily target minors, often suffer long-term negative effects. The document stresses that while technology may seem harmless, children need monitoring to avoid being targeted by online predators.

Film assignment 2 - Connie Li
Heavy social media use has been linked to depression in teens and young adults. Studies have shown that heavy users, defined as using social media for more than 2 hours per day, are 300% more likely to be depressed than occasional users. There are a few reasons for this: passive social media use can lead to envy, fear of missing out, and lower self-esteem; exposure to cyberbullying increases the likelihood of depression; and excessive social media use replaces activities that are better for physical and mental health like social interaction, exercise, and quality sleep. The article recommends limiting social media use and seeking help from a mental health professional if heavy use is causing depression.
Assignment 7
This document outlines a proposed documentary series exploring the impact of social media on culture. The 4 episode series would examine:
- The definition and history of social media and its rise in popularity over time.
- The positive and negative effects social media has already had on society, including facilitating political movements but also enabling cyberbullying.
- How social media has influenced different types of online communities and cultures centered around activities like blogging, social networking, and microblogging on sites like Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.
- Whether social media's impact will continue growing, how its development may shape future communication, and if there are ways to prevent some of its negative influence.

Teen usage of social media has increased dramatically, with 72% using YouTube and 68% using Instagram. This increased usage has negatively impacted teen mental health, with 1 in 4 reporting poor mental health, distress, suicidal thoughts, or unmet mental health needs. Social media shapes teens' conceptions of beauty and alters how they think and interact by promoting unrealistic representations and social norms. It can also contribute to lack of independent thinking, peer pressure, cyberbullying, eating disorders, and depression in vulnerable teens. To help prevent these issues, parents can limit social media use, monitor the content teens engage with, and regularly discuss their mental well-being.

This document contains 20 citations from various online sources. The citations are about different topics related to media consumption, the internet, and health-related internet usage. Specifically, several of the citations discuss the phenomenon of "cyberchondria," which refers to excessive or severe health-related internet searching that results in increased anxiety about symptoms found online.

The document discusses the negative effects of social media on youth. It notes that 92% of teens go online daily and are spending too much time focused on their online image rather than developing real relationships. This heavy social media use can promote a hostile environment and negatively impact mental health. The document also examines how social media enables cyberbullying and the spread of rumors, citing the story of Audrie Pott who took her own life after being assaulted and bullied online. Overall, it argues that while technology is beneficial, youth spend too much time on screens and not enough on important developmental activities, and moderation is key.
Flipboard
The document discusses how news media has expanded beyond print to include various social media platforms and television. While print readership is declining, social media use is rising significantly. This expansion has allowed for rapid information sharing but has also contributed to the spread of misinformation. In particular, fake news spread widely during the 2016 US presidential election. Some false claims, like those about child trafficking, led to dangerous consequences. Now social media companies are trying to curb the spread of fake news by adding fact-checking to the news seen by users.
Research
We will interview an app company to understand how they use social media to their advantage. We will also try to interview an Apple store employee. We plan to conduct vox pops on the street to ask people about their social media use and opinions. We will interview some college staff and students to discuss why certain sites are banned and why some students do not use social media. Our documentary will discuss app companies and cyberbullying based on our research findings.
The Death of Print Journalism and Rise of Digital Media
The document discusses the death of print journalism and rise of digital media. It notes that 50% of Americans now cite the internet as their main news source, and 71% of those aged 18-29. Newspaper advertising investment has declined significantly as readers and advertising dollars have moved online. For newspapers to survive, they must adapt and establish a strong digital presence, like Vice, The Guardian and Daily Mail. The rise of digital media has also led to the growth of citizen journalism and a blurring of boundaries between professional and amateur content. However, digitally-sourced information lacks the objectivity of traditional journalism.
Death of the Newspaper
The document discusses the use of online news websites and tablets like the iPad for consuming news. It notes that the use of online news is not strongly skewed by age and that tablets are favored over laptops and desktops for news consumption. It also mentions that 58% of print newspaper subscribers who spend about an hour a day reading news are likely to cancel their subscription within six months. The average age of the American newspaper reader is reported to be 55 and rising.
Social Media for Law Enforcement Agencies
In this presentation we look at how law enforcement agencies around the world are using Social Media for Predictive, Proactive and Investigative reasons. We look at some best practice examples around the world and explored the role Social Media played in major world events like the UK Riots.
Presented by Kathy Phelan and Kanella Gougousis for the Australian Government Attorney-General's Department.
Photoshop Apps Spark an Obsession for Perfection
1) Social media fuels an obsession with perfection as users selectively portray idealized versions of their lives through curated photos and heavy filters that distort reality.
2) Photo-editing apps make it easy to artificially enhance physical appearance, intensifying unrealistic beauty standards and body image pressures.
3) Constantly comparing curated social media profiles can damage mental health and self-esteem, triggering feelings of envy, inadequacy, and fueling unhealthy behaviors like excessive plastic surgery among teens.
Flipbook 2.0
This document discusses the negative effects of social media on teens' mental health. It notes that 73% of teens are on social networks and spending significant time online and on social media. However, the constant use of technology and focus on curating a perfect self-image is leading to teens feeling more isolated, depressed, and developing anxiety. Research shows that heavy social media use for over 2 hours per day is linked to poor mental health, psychological distress, and suicidal thoughts in teens. The power of social media can negatively impact teens' mental well-being.
Olivia Hannigan - Flipbook
Millennials are the heaviest users of social media, with 75% having profiles in 2015. While social media allows connection and support seeking, it can also negatively impact mental health. Nearly half of millennials report concerns that social media is harming their mental and physical health. Teens who use social media for over two hours daily show poorer mental health outcomes. However, social media also benefits education and maintaining connections for many.
Likes over life
This document discusses the obsession many youth have with gaining "likes" on social media and the negative impacts this can have on mental health and well-being. It notes that teens spend around 9 hours per day consuming media and feel pressure to curate a highlight reel of their lives to portray to others. However, constantly seeking validation from likes has been shown to prevent many from fully experiencing life and can damage self-esteem. The document warns that social media addiction is a growing issue for society.
Assignment 2 Film240 Renee Rosario
Social media has the power to connect people worldwide and spread awareness of animal welfare issues. By sharing pictures and videos of animals in need, social media users have helped thousands of animals find homes. Organizations like PETA have also used shocking social media posts to educate people about animal abuse and put pressure on companies like SeaWorld. When used strategically, social media can save animal lives on a large scale by connecting homeless pets with potential owners and increasing public pressure around issues of animal welfare.
Media Use: Impairing Sleep in Children
This document discusses the negative impacts of excessive media use and screen time on children's sleep. It reports that blue light from screens suppresses melatonin production and disrupts sleep patterns. Children who use media before bed report shorter sleep duration, daytime fatigue, and difficulty waking. The document reviews guidelines from health organizations recommending limits on screen time and promoting screen-free activities and family meals. It calls for parents, teachers and healthcare providers to educate themselves and children about healthy sleep habits in the digital age.

95% of Americans aged 65 and older get their news from traditional cable companies in the last week, though cable subscribership has dropped in recent years. 40% of Americans would pay to watch or read news online. People over 65 are much less likely to use the internet for news compared to millennials, most of whom say staying up to date with the latest news is at least somewhat important. Social media allows for more user interaction and earned media opportunities for news organizations and advertisers, helping internet-based news reach wider audiences than traditional forms.

Is Social Media Manipulating The Youth
The document discusses how social media may be negatively impacting the mental health and body image of youth. It notes that teens who use social media for more than two hours per day report poorer mental health. Additionally, social media teaches unrealistic body images that make teens feel isolated. 53% of American girls are unhappy with their bodies by age 17. The document also argues that children are getting smartphones too early and focusing more on social media than their education. This may be teaching youth new standards of living through screens rather than real-world experiences.

This document discusses the potential for a virtual Jingpo/Kachin techno-community online. It notes that while Jingpo and Kachin share a cultural identity in the real world, their online representations differ according to whether they live in China or Burma due to differences in economic development and political goals between the countries. The document outlines an empirical study analyzing websites, blogs, online groups and videos related to Jingpo/Kachin identity to understand trends in their online representations and cultural transactions. It aims to determine if new online spaces are altering the transnational perception and expression of Jingpo/Kachin culture.Peng Tai-quan and Zhu Jonathan---Don\'t blame the Internet Anymore!

The study aims to address these limitations by developing a new measurement of internet use (SIU) and examining differences between internet users and non-users over time using various statistical analyses. The results suggest internet use does not influence use of traditional media or sociability once other factors are controlled for.Tsui_Lokman---The Great Firewall as Iron Curtain 2.0:implications of China\'s...

The document discusses the metaphor of China's Great Firewall being compared to the Iron Curtain of the Cold War era and the implications for U.S. foreign policy. It notes several bills introduced in Congress aimed at developing technologies to defeat internet censorship and establish organizations focused on countering regimes that block information. While change through the internet was hoped for, the Great Firewall remains effective at preventing unwanted communications within China's networks, similar to how the Iron Curtain divided East and West during the Cold War.More Related Content

Dios Satanas Y La Salud[1]
Dios creó vegetales y frutas para que el hombre y la mujer se alimenten de forma saludable. Sin embargo, Satanás creó comidas poco saludables como McDonald's y el chocolate que hicieron que las personas engorden. A pesar de que Dios creó opciones saludables como el yogurt y las ensaladas, Satanás inventó alimentos ricos en grasas como los huevos con chorizo y el helado. Esto, junto con la invención de la televisión y los aperitivos, hizo que las personas aumentaran mucho de peso y tuvieran problemas de sal

Darweesh .docx
The document discusses both the positive and negative effects of the internet on society. It addresses how the internet has made information retrieval and communication easier but has also increased access to inappropriate content and cybercrimes. It explores how the internet has benefited business and education but may also encourage laziness and reduce productivity. The conclusion states that the negatives of the internet outweigh the positives and that it has not increased intelligence, but these claims are not fully supported by evidence cited in the paper.
Mest3 Internet Lessons 1-3
The document discusses how the internet changes audiences in the following ways:
1) Audience research was conducted by having students estimate how much time they spend on various media like books, websites, social media, TV, phones. This showed shifts in media consumption patterns among digital native audiences.
2) Research teams conducted surveys to gather data on students' media usage and compared the class' consumption to American data, finding some similarities and differences.
3) A study from Kansas State University presented survey data on American students' media habits that were compared to the class' self-reported consumption, showing both commonalities and differences in digital audiences.

356 Chapter 7 Evaluating and Controlling Technology
In this chapter, we consider such questions as these: Does the openness and
"democracy" of the Web increase distribution of useful information or of inac
curate, foohsh, and biased information? How should we handle the latter? How
can we evaluate complex computer models of physical and social phenomena?
Is computing technology evil? Why do some people think it is? How does access
to digital technology ditfer among dilferent populations? How should we control
technology to ensure positive uses and consequences? How soon will robots and
digital devices be more intelligent than people? What will happen after that?
Whole books focus on these topics. The presentations here are necessarily
brief. They introduce issues, arguments, and many questions.

A little learning is a dang 'rous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring;

And drinking largely sobers us again.

7.1.1 The Need for Responsible Judgment
What is real? What is fake? Why does it matter?
We can get the wrong answer to a question quicker than our fathers and
mothers could find a pencil.
—Robert McHenry^
There is a daunting amount of information on the Web—^and much of it is wrong.
Quack medical cures abound. Distorted history, errors, outdated information, bad
financial advice—it is all there. Marketers and pubUc relations firms spread unlabeled
advertisements through blogs, social media, and video sites. Search engines have
largely replaced librarians for finding information, but search engines rank informa
tion sources at least partially by popularity and give prominent display to content
providers who pay; librarians do not. Wikipedia, the biggest online encyclopedia, is
immensely popular, but can we rely on its accuracy and objectivity when anyone can
edit any article at any time? On social journalism sites, readers submit and vote on
news stories. Is this a good way to get news? The nature of the Intemet encourages
people to post their immediate thoughts and reactions without taking time for con
templation or for checking facts. How do we know what is worth reading in contexts
where there are no editors selecting well-written and well-researched articles?

There are three effects of wide access to computers and children regularly playing computer games for long hours:
1. Easy access to information due to computers and the internet being a source of vast information.
2. Better communication facilitated by internet technologies like email and social media that allow people to stay connected regardless of distance.
3. An increase in aggressive behaviors among children who play violent video games for extended periods, as the games often reward violence and children can experience behavioral changes from repeated exposure.

Sick Around the World
Watch “Sick Around the World” (either at http://www.pbs.org/video/frontline-sick-around-the-world/ or at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfusssJW7TI) and answer the following questions:
1) What does “universal health care” mean? Which countries in the film have universal health care?
2) How do the British pay for their National Health Service? What, according to the film, might Americans not like about the British system?
3) Japanese citizens visit doctors three times more often as Americans, and have longer life spans and lower infant mortality than Americans. How do the Japanese pay for their health care system?
4) In Germany, the rich pay for the poor, the ill are covered by the healthy, health insurance continues with or without employment, and doctors, who are private entrepreneurs, make less money than they did before reform. Why will doctors in Germany accept less money? Should the rich pay for the poor when it comes to health insurance? Why or why not?
5) Taiwan designed its health care system in 1995, after looking at health care in 10-15 other countries. What do you think works well in the Taiwanese system?
6) Evaluate the U.S. health care system in comparison to some of the other systems explained in the film. How does the U.S. system compare, in terms of access, cost, and equity? Compare the U.S. on each dimension to at least two other countries. Do you think the U.S. should adopt universal health care? Why or why not?

This document summarizes Steven Clift's presentation on e-democracy and civic engagement. Some key points include:
- Clift has been working in the field of e-democracy since 1994 when he created one of the first election information websites.
- Social media has both positive and negative impacts on civic participation and democracy. It can empower citizens but also spread misinformation and isolate like-minded groups.
- Local online spaces are important for connecting citizens, representatives, and issues in a specific community. When combined with in-person engagement, they can strengthen representative democracy.
- Moving forward, opportunities exist to better share what works across communities, close data gaps around local governance, and get citizens
Digital Tattoo: for MOSAIC
The document discusses the concept of a "digital tattoo" which refers to one's online presence and digital identity. It notes that Facebook would be the third largest country by population. It then provides perspectives from UBC students on searching for people online and managing one's digital footprint. The rest of the document discusses scenarios where one's digital identity could impact them, such as for new immigrants, in the job hiring process, and how content online can spread widely and be hard to remove. It raises questions about digital citizenship and managing one's online reputation.
China’s Internet Security _Dichotomy of National Security and Human Rights in...
This document discusses China's approach to internet security and the tension with human rights and relations with the United States. China tightly controls internet access and censors information deemed threatening to national security. This has led to censorship of political dissent and restrictions on human rights. Other Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam are adopting similar policies. While China views this as protecting national security, others see it as infringing on freedom of expression. The United States promotes internet freedom but has faced hypocrisy claims due to NSA surveillance practices. Overall, the document examines the dichotomy between national security and human rights in China's internet policies and their geopolitical implications.

1. Discussion Points (Use your browser to conduct research on the following) (Minimum 350 Words)
1) When looking at the chronology of the development of the Internet, which development do you believe to be the most important? Why?
2) In terms of online users, are the genders equally represented? How about for minorities? What types of resources are available online, specifically for men? How valuable to you believe these resources are? What types of resources are available online, specifically for women? How valuable to you believe these resources are? Are there resources available to specific ethnicities?
3) If you know of any good web sites with resources for men, please share the URLs and tell us why you feel the site is of value to men. If you know of any good web sites with resources for women, please share the URLs and tell us why you feel the site is of value to women.
4) How beneficial are health and medical web sites? How reliable is the information?
5) The Internet has been championed as inherently democratic. Do you agree? Are there reasons why this theory is flawed? Why?
6) Provide the URL of at least two sites that discuss the impact of the Internet on any one of the concepts discussed this week and provide a brief review of the information contained there. Did you learn anything new? Were you surprised by any of the information presented on the site?
2. Respond to this discussion
150 Words Minimum, provide direct questions if needed.
1) When looking at the chronology of the development of the Internet, which development do you believe to be the most important? Why?
I would say the most important development was the first message sent over ARPANET. A UCLA student named Charley Kline attempted to send a text message that simply said “login”. He got as far as the first two letters (“lo”) and then the system crashed. After waiting an hour to remedy the system the word “login” was successfully sent (Brown, 2017). This is so important because it laid out the framework for our modern internet.
2) In terms of online users, are the genders equally represented? How about for minorities? What types of resources are available online, specifically for men? How valuable to you believe these resources are? What types of resources are available online, specifically for women? How valuable to you believe these resources are? Are there resources available to specific ethnicities?
The genders are pretty evenly matched with 74% of men and 72% of women using the internet. Races have a little more gap than gender with 78% of white people having broadband vs 65% of black people and only 58% of Hispanic individuals (Internet, Science & Tech, 2018). The internet has different resources tailed to each sex just as some magazines, literature, media, etc. targets a specific gender and race. YouTube is great resource that can be tailored to a specific interests including race and gender. I can only speak for white men but, the resources are plentif ...
Internet Censorship
Internet censorship is a controversial issue. In China, the government strictly censors the internet, blocking over 18,000 websites including Wikipedia, YouTube, and Facebook. Certain search terms are also blocked and people have been imprisoned for their anti-government online activities. While China censors the internet, Australia also engages in some level of internet censorship. There are arguments both for and against internet censorship, with concerns around restricting access to information versus protecting citizens.

Opening talk at Singapore Symposium on Sentiment Analysis (S3A), February 6, 2015, Singapore. http://s3a.sentic.net/#s3a2015
Abstract
With the rapid rise in the popularity of social media, and near ubiquitous mobile access, the sharing of observations and opinions has become common-place. This has given us an unprecedented access to the pulse of a populace and the ability to perform analytics on social data to support a variety of socially intelligent applications -- be it for brand tracking and management, crisis coordination, organizing revolutions or promoting social development in underdeveloped and developing countries.
I will review: 1) understanding and analysis of informal text, esp. microblogs (e.g., issues of cultural entity extraction and role of semantic/background knowledge enhanced techniques), and 2) how we built Twitris, a comprehensive social media analytics (social intelligence) platform.
I will describe the analysis capabilities along three dimensions: spatio-temporal-thematic, people-content-network, and sentiment-emption-intent. I will couple technical insights with identification of computational techniques and real-world examples using live demos of Twitris (http://twitris2.knoesis.org).
Health 2.0 – The Next Wave
The document discusses the rise of social media and its impact on health care. It notes that people are increasingly using social networks like Facebook and Twitter to find health information and connect with others. This has led to new models of care delivery using mobile technologies. Social media allows for more collaboration between patients and providers and helps address isolation issues. However, many blogs have been abandoned as users migrate to other platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

This document discusses and evaluates several perspectives on technology. It addresses:
1) The challenges of assessing the accuracy of online information due to biases in search engines, Wikipedia contributions, and popularity-based news rankings.
2) How the internet enables access to more information sources but some people only consume narrow perspectives by selectively choosing websites that confirm their views.
3) Criticisms that reliance on technologies can encourage "mental laziness" and reduce responsibility, though others argue it allows focus on new skills.
4) Factors to consider when evaluating the accuracy of computer models, including underlying scientific understanding and how well predictions match real-world data.

Bda Presentation On Video Sharing Sites Hku June 14th 2008
This document summarizes a presentation given by Duncan Clark of BDA China on the state of online video in China. It finds that China's online video market has grown rapidly from a niche to a mass medium, led by sites like Tudou, Youku, and 56.com. However, these sites remain unprofitable due to high bandwidth costs and low advertising revenues. In December 2007, Chinese regulators issued measures requiring majority state-ownership of online video sites, sparking industry backlash. Regulators later walked back these rules but continue to shut down certain sites periodically. The future of China's online video industry remains uncertain due to regulatory and profitability challenges.
Chew_Mattew--The gamer rights protection movement in China 2
1) A gamer rights protection movement emerged in China in the early 2000s in response to issues like the loss of virtual property and termination of online games.
2) Gamers organized protests and lawsuits against game corporations to defend their rights as consumers and protect their virtual property.
3) The movement framed itself around ideas of consumer rights and rights protection, using discourses of human rights that were emerging in China at the time. This collective action frame helped the protests coalesce into a broader movement.
Cheung_Anne---Online Privacy
This document discusses the growing issue of cyber bullying in China through defamation and privacy violations online. It argues that more needs to be done to regulate internet service providers' liability when unlawful materials are spread anonymously online. While Chinese law protects personal reputation and privacy, emerging cases show the challenges of applying these laws to the internet where many attacks are anonymous and widespread. Determining how to balance free speech with privacy online in China remains an ongoing debate.

The document discusses the Chinese diaspora's use of the internet and how it relates to cultural identity. It describes two contradictory trends - the emergence of strong nationalist ties to China, and the rise of a hybrid global Chinese identity enabled by new communication technologies. It also examines how the internet both reinforces connections to Chinese homelands while simultaneously fostering new diversity and hybrid identities within the diaspora.Schlaeger_Jesper---Coal and internet in China
This document discusses how internet technologies and market forces have impacted institutional change in China's coal and internet industries. It presents a case study and conclusions on how the availability of the internet has affected political ideas and played a role in China abolishing coal summits, though not as the sole determining factor. The document examines how technologies, ideas, institutions, demand, and environment interact and how political power tries to shape these dynamics.

This document discusses public deliberation in China and its potential benefits. It defines public deliberation and outlines its analytical and social aspects. It then compares types of public deliberation in the US and China, both offline and online. While Chinese civil society and media are dominated by the government, there is evidence that public deliberation is emerging through informal conversations, government decision making processes, and online platforms. Public deliberation may lead to increased political participation and accountability in China.Soong_Roland---Internet, Tibet, the Olimpics and the Earthquake
This document summarizes some of the major events on the Chinese internet in 2008, including the Sexy Photos Gate scandal in January, protests in Tibet in March, the Olympic torch relay protests, and the Wenchuan earthquake in May. It discusses the discussions and debates around these events online, and how censorship and reactions to foreign media coverage played out. It also notes that Chinese netizens are a diverse group that are constantly changing, and that external events can be catalysts for online discussions and civic actions.

DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren.
