Final CD Supper Club Jan16 Digital Distractions & Digital Overload FinalCherie Dargan
This document summarizes key points from a speech about digital distractions and overload. It discusses how people are spending more time online and on devices, consuming larger amounts of information. This can negatively impact focus and attention spans as browsing tends to be more superficial than reading. The internet also provides constant interruptions. While technology provides benefits, it can increase workloads rather than productivity if not used carefully. Students in particular struggle with focus as they are tempted to check social media up to 200 times per day in class. This makes deep learning and problem solving very challenging in today's digitally saturated environment.

People spend over half their time online consuming content such as news, information and entertainment. An additional 30% of time is spent on social media and email, where content can also be shared. When discussing specific industries, 60% of social media conversations include brands or products, and half of these messages share content. Email is the most common way people share content, though social network sharing is rising, especially among women ages 25-34. People primarily share content with friends and family, and are more likely to share information they trust will help others or was recommended by someone they trust.
The document discusses digital trends in healthcare in 2013.

Micro-blogs (e.g., Twitter, Jaiku, Plurk, Tumblr) are starting to become an established category within the general group of social media. Yet, while they rapidly gain interest among consumers and companies alike, there is no evidence to explain why anybody should be interested in an application that is limited to the exchange of short, 140-character text messages. To this end, our article intends to provide some insight. First, we demonstrate that the success of micro-blogs is due to the specific set of characteristics they possess: the creation of ambient awareness; a unique form of push-push-pull communication; and the ability to serve as a platform for virtual exhibitionism and voyeurism. We then discuss how applications such as Twitter can generate value for companies along all three stages of the marketing process: prepurchase (i.e., marketing research); purchase (i.e., marketing communications); and post-purchase (i.e., customer services). Finally, we present a set of rules–—The Three Rs of Micro-Blogging: Relevance; Respect; Return–—which companies should consider when relying on this type of application.

The concept of Social Media is top of the agenda for many business executives today. Decision makers, as well as consultants, try to identify ways in which firms can make profitable use of applications such as Wikipedia, YouTube, Facebook, Second Life, and Twitter. Yet despite this interest, there seems to be very limited understanding of what the term ‘‘Social Media’’ exactly means; this article intends to provide some clarification. We begin by describing the concept of Social Media, and discuss how it differs from related concepts such as Web 2.0 and User Generated Content. Based on this definition, we then provide a classification of Social Media which groups applications currently subsumed under the generalized term into more specific categories by characteristic: collaborative projects, blogs, content communities, social networking sites, virtual game worlds, and virtual social worlds. Finally, we present 10 pieces of advice for companies which decide to utilize Social Media.

This document summarizes research on social media and Twitter. It analyzes data from over 41 million Twitter user profiles and 1.47 billion social connections to study the topological characteristics of Twitter's social network and how information spreads through retweets. Some key findings include:
- Twitter's follower network shows non-power law distribution, short effective diameter, and low reciprocity compared to other social networks.
- Ranking users by number of followers, PageRank, and number of retweets produces different results, indicating a gap between influence inferred from followers and influence from retweet popularity.
- Retweets allow information to reach an average of 1,000 users no matter the original tweet's number of followers, and retweets

Americans have drastically expanded their active communities online and offline. Their world is expanding and narrowing at the same time because of social media’s hyperlocalization quotient. And “cyberdisinhibition”—being more willing to behave online in ways they wouldn’t in person—has both emboldened users and led them to inappropriate behavior. These are among the findings from a nationwide study on social media conducted by Euro RSCG Worldwide. Despite buzz to the contrary, online social networking is having the effect of enhancing, not deteriorating, relationships among Americans. This new study, of 1,228 American social media users, found that by interacting through online media, consumers are more connected than ever.
The Internet has fundamentally transformed the way people discover, share, connect and shop. It's time for marketers to transform the way they raise awareness and generate leads as well.

This document discusses social entrepreneurship and its key aspects in 3 paragraphs:
Social entrepreneurship combines business skills with a social mission to create sustainable solutions to social problems. Social entrepreneurs measure success by their social impact rather than profits. They pursue opportunities to create social value through innovation and are not constrained by a lack of resources.
Unlike businesses, social entrepreneurs design their organizations and solutions to directly create measurable social benefits. However, using business skills and a market-based approach can help social organizations increase their impact, efficiency, and sustainability compared to relying solely on donations or government support.
While business skills and market discipline can help scale social solutions, social entrepreneurs must respect the social sector context and be sensitive to its limitations.
The document discusses supply chain and logistics concepts including:
1) Physical distribution involves choosing warehouses and transportation carriers to deliver goods in the desired time at lowest cost. Physical distribution has expanded into supply chain management.
2) Supply chain management involves procuring inputs, efficiently converting them into finished products, and dispatching them to customers.
3) Market logistics planning involves four stages - deciding on a value proposition, developing operational excellence, implementing solutions, and deciding on a channel/network strategy.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

“The research suggests that Facebook isn’t the echo chamber that
some might expect – online social networks actually increase the
spread of novel information and diverse viewpoints.”
“The information we consume and share on
Facebook is actually much more diverse in
nature than conventional wisdom might
suggest. We are exposed to and spread more
information from our distant contacts than our
close friends. Since these distant contacts
tend to be different from us, the bulk of
information we consume and share comes
from people with different perspectives.”
