This research presumes that Word-of-mouth from another online consumers, share information and features can influence online shopping intention and entice them to modify or even transform their original shopping predispositions by providing them with attractive and enhanced interactive features and controls of buying. To achieve the research objectives and the test hypotheses, factor analysis, and linear regression are used to analyze the significant level of each variable indicator of this study.
The result of the test may conclude that the Facebook users perceived more intention to search information by online, caused of the effectiveness of time using online community to search information and review the other experience. A more positive online shopping experience led to consumers’ positive perceptions for online purchase intention. Thus, this study may conclude that indicator variable of perception that really influence the Facebook users online purchase intentions are their perception towards the effectiveness of time that they can be used to evaluate, and find information by online, and the best indicator is their online community that can deliver and influence Facebookers online purchase intention.

Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

A snapshot of the topics in the report, by Wordle http://www.wordle.net/
The Horizon.K12 Project wiki
The process used to research and create the Horizon Report: 2009 K-12 Edition is very much rooted in the methods used to develop the global edition of the Horizon Report that is released each January.
All editions of the Horizon Report are produced using a carefully constructed process that is informed by both primary and secondary research. Nearly a hundred technologies, as well
as dozens of meaningful trends and challenges are examined for possible inclusion in the report for each edition. Every report draws on the considerable expertise of an
internationally renowned Advisory Board that first generates a broad set of important emerging technologies, challenges, and trends, and then examines each of them in progressively
more detail, reducing the set until the final listing of technologies, trends, and challenges is selected.
Much of the process takes place online, but when new editions are created for the first time, a face-to-face meeting is often also part of the process, as a way to quickly build
an engaged community among the advisors. All the work, wherever it occurs, is captured and placed in the Horizon Project wiki, which is the project’s home on the web.
The Horizon wiki is intended to be a completely transparent window to the process, and contains the entire record of the research.
The wiki for the K-12 Edition can be found at http://horizon.nmc.org/k12.
The 2009 Advisory board was comprised of 45 educators from countries around the globe.
Represented were 13 countries:
Australia
Belgium
Canada
Denmark
Hong Kong
Korea
The Netherlands
Qatar
Singapore
Spain
Thailand
The United Kingdom
The United States
The 45 members of this year’s Advisory Board were purposely chosen to represent a broad spectrum of K-12 education, as well as key writers
and thinkers from business and industry. They engaged in a comprehensive review and analysis of research, articles, papers, blogs, and interviews;
discussed existing applications, and brainstormed new ones; and ultimately ranked the items on the list of candidate technologies for their potential
relevance to teaching, learning, and creative expression. Much of this work took place in and around a remarkable face-to-face gathering in Dallas
in January 2009, using a variety of tools specially purposed for the project; additional work took place online from January through the end of February 2009.
Work from the meeting as well as the online discussions were captured and may be reviewed on the project wiki at http://horizon.nmc.org/k12.
Key Trends
Technology continues to profoundly affect the way we work, collaborate, communicate, and succeed.
Technology is increasingly a means for empowering students, a method for communication and socializing, and a ubiquitous, transparent part of their lives.
The web is an increasingly personal experience.
The way we think of learning environments is changing.
The perceived value of innovation and creativity is increasing.
Critical Challenges
There is a growing need for formal instruction in key new skills, including information literacy, visual literacy, and technological literacy.
Students are different, but educational practice and the material that supports it is changing only slowly.
Learning that incorporates real life experiences is not occurring enough and is undervalued when it does take place.
There is a growing recognition that new technologies must be adopted and used as an everyday part of classroom activities, but effecting this change is difficult.
A key challenge is the fundamental structure of the K-12 education establishment.
The Horizon Report series is the product of the New Media Consortium's Horizon Project, an ongoing research project that seeks to identify and describe
emerging technologies likely to have a large impact on teaching, learning, research, or creative expression within education around the globe.
This volume, the Horizon Report: 2009 K-12 Edition, is the second in a new series of regional and sector-based reports, and examines emerging
technologies for their potential impact on and use in teaching, learning, and creative expression within the environment of pre-college education.
The hope is that the report is useful to educators worldwide, and the international composition of the Advisory Board reflects the care with which a global perspective
was assembled. While there are many local factors affecting the practice of education, there are also issues that transcend regional boundaries, questions we all face in K-12 education,
and it was with these in mind that this report was created.
Each edition of the Horizon Report introduces six emerging technologies or practices that are likely to enter mainstream use in the educational community within three
adoption horizons over the next one to five years. To identify these areas, the project has drawn on an ongoing conversation among knowledgeable persons
in the fields of business, industry, and education; on published resources, current research, and practice; and on the expertise of both the NMC community and the
communities of the members of the Horizon Project’s K-12 Advisory Board, an international body of experts in education, technology, and other fields.
The Advisory Board, chosen to broadly represent a range of perspectives in K-12 education, engages in a discussion around a set of research questions
intended to surface significant trends and challenges and to identify a wide array of potential technologies for the Report. Using a process detailed in the methodology
section, the Advisory Board comes to a consensus about the six topics that will appear here. The examples and readings under each topic area are meant
to provide practical models as well as access to more detailed information. Wherever possible, an effort was made to highlight the innovative work going on among
elementary, middle, and high schools around the world.
The format of the Horizon Report reflects the focus of the Horizon Project, which centers on the applications of emerging technologies to teaching,
learning, research, and creative expression. Each topic opens with an overview to introduce the concept or technology involved and
follows with a discussion of the particular relevance of the topic to education or creativity. Examples of how the technology is being — or could be —
applied to those activities are given. Each description is followed by an annotated list of additional examples and readings which expand on the
discussion in the Report, as well as a link to the list of tagged resources collected by the Advisory Board and other interested parties during the process of
researching the topic areas.
Each edition of the Horizon Report introduces six emerging technologies or practices that are likely to enter mainstream use in the educational community
within three adoption horizons over the next one to five years.
This section details the near term — those technologies likely to enter mainstream teaching practice (see note below) within the next twelve months. Items in this category are already in use on many campuses.
NOTE: “Mainstream use” is defined for the purpose of the project as about 20% of institutions adopting it within the period discussed. This figure is based on the research of Geoffrey A. Moore
and refers to the critical mass of adoptions needed for a technology to have a chance of entering broad use.

Collaborative Environments
Time-to-Adoption Horizon: One Year or Less
Collaborative environments are virtual workplaces where students and teachers can communicate, share information, and work together. A growing emphasis on collaboration in education —
and an increasing recognition that collaboration is the norm in many modern workplaces — has led more teachers to seek tools to facilitate group interaction and teamwork in their classes.
Online spaces designed to support groups of students working together take many forms, from relatively simple tools that lend themselves to multiple simultaneous authors all the way
up to full-fledged classroom environments in both the flat web and the 3D world of virtual environments. Collaborative environments provide the means for students to work with peers both local
and distant, practice creative teamwork, and develop peer relationships.
Online Communication Tools
Time-to-Adoption Horizon: One Year or Less
As more professionals work from remote or distributed locations, the need for cheap, flexible communication tools has grown. Recent technological developments are creating more ways
for users to work anytime and anywhere, and these new tools are finding their way into homes and classrooms as well. Online communication tools put students in touch with distant family
members, practicing experts, and their peers, wherever they may be located. Desktop videoconferencing, instant messaging services, microblogging platforms, and voice-over-IP clients
facilitate connections and the dissemination of information between and among students and teachers, keeping classroom communities in touch with each other on a more extensive basis than ever before.
Each edition of the Horizon Report introduces six emerging technologies or practices that are likely to enter mainstream use in the educational community
within three adoption horizons over the next one to five years.
This section details the mid term — those technologies likely to enter mainstream teaching practice (see note below) within the next two-to-three years.
Items in this category are generally already in use in other sectors, such as higher education, business, or entertainment..
Mobiles
Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Two to Three Years
It is becoming increasingly common for young people to own mobile devices. In the upper grades, it is not at all unusual to find that students carry mobiles,
even if they are not allowed to use them during class, and younger students often carry them as well. The unprecedented evolution of these devices continues
to generate great interest, and their increasing capabilities make them more useful with each new generation of devices. One recent feature — the ability to run third-party
applications — represents a fundamental change in the way we regard mobiles and opens the door to myriad uses for education, entertainment, productivity, and social interaction.
Cloud Computing
Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Two to Three Years
The cloud refers to computing resources resulting from very large “data farms” — specialized data centers that host thousands of servers. Cloud computing uses the
surplus resources to lower the cost and increase the availability of disk storage and processing power to the point that anyone can obtain it, almost at a moment’s notice,
very cheaply. Applications that run in the cloud can scale up or down depending on immediate demand, and many of us use such applications daily without even being aware
that they are cloud-based. Image editors, word processors, social networking tools, and more are always available. Accessed via a web browser, they are often free and come
with huge amounts of storage space for whatever we wish to keep there. The infrastructure has improved to the point that the cloud is robust and reliable. As usage grows, the
cloud is changing our ideas about computing and communication.
Each edition of the Horizon Report introduces six emerging technologies or practices that are likely to enter mainstream use in the educational community
within three adoption horizons over the next one to five years.
This section details the far term — those technologies likely to enter mainstream teaching practice within the next four-to-five years.
Items in this category are generally just coming into use in other sectors, such as higher education, business, or entertainment., but their
potential seems especially clear or obvious.
Smart Objects
Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Four to Five Years
Smart objects link the virtual world and the real: a smart object “knows” about itself and its environment, and can reveal what it is for, who owns it, where and how it was made,
and what other objects in the world are like it. A smart object can be tied to related information in a variety of media, placing itself within a rich context that is made plain simply by following
the connection. Smart objects can interact with one another, creating new interfaces for controlling computers. There are many technologies that support smart objects, from simple printed stickers
to complex computing and sensor networks. In each case, whatever the underlying technology, smart objects exist in the physical world but have some kind of virtual counterpart. The means to
create, track, and use smart objects has not yet entered the mainstream, but recent advances in identification technology have led to some interesting proof-of-concept applications that suggest everyday
uses are just down the road.
The Personal Web
Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Four to Five Years
Teachers using the Internet as a resource are as aware as anyone else that the amount of content available on the web is staggering. Selecting valuable material to use in
preparing lessons or to suggest as resources for students is a time-consuming and sometimes frustrating task. The proliferation of content — both useful and not — has been fueled
in part by the ease of web publishing; it is easy to blog, tweet, post photos and videos, comment on other blogs, create course websites, and post updates to social networks online.
Another issue goes hand-in-hand with the question of how to find useful material: the problem of how to keep track of the various bits of content posted by colleagues, peers, friends, or
even oneself. To deal with these issues, readers and publishers of online content are assembling collections of tools, widgets, and services that handle developing and organizing dynamic
online content. Tools for tagging, aggregating, updating, and keeping track of content assist today’s learners in creating and navigating a web that is increasingly tailored to their own needs
and interests: the personal web.
