"Understanding Broadband from the Outside" - ARNIC Seminar April1 08ARNIC
The document discusses various approaches to understanding broadband and technology from a community perspective, including:
1. Starting with community needs and involving local stakeholders.
2. Considering multiple perspectives from fields like development, education, and natural resource management.
3. Using systems thinking and participatory action research to understand complex relationships and emergent behaviors.
Open networks allow for new possibilities like programmable networks that support multiple communication patterns and separable network control from ownership. This flexibility enables network evolution driven by users through iterative experimentation and co-evolution of networks and organizations. Case studies provide evidence that internal corporate networks and electronic markets evolve through cycles of automation, experimentation, and reconfiguration as flexibility allows for learning and path-dependent change.
Este documento presenta el índice de un informe de varios capítulos. El capítulo I es una presentación, el capítulo II describe el funcionamiento de la Comisión incluyendo su marco jurídico, estructura, procesos de trabajo y resultados.

This early childhood math document presents 3 counting exercises asking how many of an animal is seen in a set of numbers, with feedback telling the child if their answer is right or to try again, and praise for getting it right. It teaches counting skills through examples of fish, bears, and elephants.
Mobile Voices presentation - ARP Colloquium - Nov 11 2008ARNIC
Annenberg Research Park Colloquium Series:
Presentation by François Bar, Annenberg School for Communication, on November 11th @ 11am.
Mobile Voices: A Mobile, Open Source, Popular Communication Platform for First-Generation Immigrants in Los Angeles
“Mobile Voices” is a storytelling platform for immigrants in Los Angeles to create and publish stories about their community directly from cell phones.
This project seeks to enable first-generation, low-wage immigrants to participate meaningfully and confidently in the digital realm. Mobile Voices is a collaboration between faculty and students at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California and members of the Institute of Popular Education of Southern California (IDEPSCA), a nonprofit serving low-income Latino immigrants in Los Angeles. This presentation will give an overview of the project to date, beginning with the initial motivation for Mobile Voices and then focusing on key components of the project: technology development; participatory approach to design, implementation, and evaluation; and scalability.
François Bar is Associate Professor of Communication in the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California. He is a steering committee member of the Annenberg Research Network on International Communication (http://arnic.info.) His research and teaching focus on the social and economic impacts of information technologies, with a concentration on telecommunication policy, user-driven innovation and technology appropriation. His most recent work examines the impact of information technology for development, in places ranging from East Africa to Latin America. He is co-Editor of Information Technologies and International Development (ITID).
O documento fornece instruções para um teste de personalidade, pedindo aos leitores que cliquem em opções para data de nascimento, signo, região e sexo. Promete então processar esses dados e fornecer um perfil emocional, sentimental e psicológico do leitor. Ao final, menciona que o leitor deve ter orgulho de ser torcedor do Benfica.
This document summarizes network culture and infrastructure in Brazil. It finds that Brazil ranks 65th on the Digital Opportunity Index with a score of 0.48. While broadband penetration is growing, it remains underserving with only 8.6 million connections for a population of 192 million people. Telecom revenues in Brazil reached R$120 billion in 2006, far surpassing mass media revenues of R$17 billion. Cellphone penetration is also increasing but public broadband policies remain disintegrated across different government initiatives.
