Introduction The Internet phenomenon is continuously evolving  globally .  Instrument of information accession  –  Source of information dissemination –  Platform for exchange and moulding of people’s opinion .
The Annual I-Cube report by the Internet Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) Internet users in India by December 2011 121 million internet users Internet usage 4-6 times a week - 48% Daily - 28%  Area of access to internet  Cyber cafes – 67% Home - 37%.  Users from cities 92 millions  Rural areas -29 millions (Hindu, November 14, 2011)

But , c an an ‘active internet user’ be considered as ‘participative’?  Can the shift of Internet usage from passive to active be regarded as an indication of ‘Participatory Culture’?
“ The Web isn’t what you can do with Computers. It’s about people who are connected by Computers”  Tim Berners Lee,  Director World Wide Web Consortium
Participation is generally defined as the people’s involvement in the decision-making process through self –organized action  (Cohen, Uphoff, 1962) The participation of people can be in many ways and ranging from information giving, consultation, interaction,  self – mobilisation.  (Pretty et al.1995)

Pew Internet and American Life project 2005 The growing number of American young people who are embracing the new participatory culture  57 percent of teens are media creators  created blogs, web pages, posted original artworks, photos, stories, videos, remixed online content.   1/3 rd  of teens share what they create online.  22% have their own websites, 19% blog. 19% remix online content. 40% urban youth 28% suburban youth 38% rural youth are media creators. Among 15-17 years 27% of Girls 17% boys are involved social activities online.
“ While to adults the Internet primarily means the World Wide Web, for children it means email, chat, games and here they are already content producers. Too often neglected, these communication and entertainment focused activities, by contrast with the information-focused uses at the centre of public and policy agendas, are driving emerging media literacy. Through such uses, children are most engaged— multi-tasking, becoming proficient at navigation and manoeuvre so as to win, judging their participation and that of others”-  Livingstone ,  (2003, pp.15-16) ,
Pew Internet Centre & American Life Project, Nov 23 rd  –Dec 21, 2010 - ‘Social side of the Internet ’   Net using American adults are actively involved in various social & community organizations .  41% are active in religious and spiritual groups,  28%- sports & recreation leagues, 27% - consumer groups,  26% - charitable associations, 20% - trade associations,  17% - political organizations, 11% - youth groups  or scouts,  9% - labour unions & 9% - environmental groups .  The project establishes a link between  competent  net users who are able to apply their community networks in the real field situations .  The date supports the fact that participation culture can result in social action and can result in empowering people in decision-making process.
 
Hypothesis Internet as a communication medium has increased the ‘active participation’ of Citizens individually and socially in the media content when compared to other media forms. Internet tools especially new media tools have increased the interactivity between the communities there by increasing the ‘communication competence’ of individuals, initiating ‘self organized action’ and influencing decision making process. Therefore Participation culture can result in collective and active social participation of all forms of groups in the society .

Theory Media Dependency theory  Sandra Ball –Rockeach & Melvin De Fleur, 1976 .  Communication Competence theory  Spitzberg  & Cupach, in 1984.  Hierarchy of Needs proposed by Abraham Maslow
Community Building on the Web-  Book written by Amy Jo Kim   Online community expert  She mapped Maslow’s offline needs to online community equivalents. People are motivated to participate in order to achieve a sense of be­longing to a group, to build self-esteem through contributions, to garner recognition for contributing, and to develop new skills and opportunities for ego building and self-actualization.

Shyam Swaroop and Manukonda Rabindranath-Internet and participatory culture-opportunities and challenges

  • 1. Internet and Participatory Culture – Opportunities and challenges T.Shyam Swaroop & Dr.M.Rabindranath Yogi Vemana University, Kadapa-516003, Andhra Pradesh
  • 2. Introduction The Internet phenomenon is continuously evolving globally . Instrument of information accession – Source of information dissemination – Platform for exchange and moulding of people’s opinion .
  • 3. The Annual I-Cube report by the Internet Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) Internet users in India by December 2011 121 million internet users Internet usage 4-6 times a week - 48% Daily - 28% Area of access to internet Cyber cafes – 67% Home - 37%. Users from cities 92 millions Rural areas -29 millions (Hindu, November 14, 2011)
  • 4. Gartner, IT research company report Mobile sales forecast in India – 231 million - up by8.5 % (Hindu, November 21, 2011) Study by IMRB and IAMAI Mobile Internet users - 12 million – 127 million mobile subscribers out of 471 million total subscribers – Internet ready phones -27% Active users – 2 million
  • 5. But , c an an ‘active internet user’ be considered as ‘participative’? Can the shift of Internet usage from passive to active be regarded as an indication of ‘Participatory Culture’?
  • 6. “ The Web isn’t what you can do with Computers. It’s about people who are connected by Computers” Tim Berners Lee, Director World Wide Web Consortium
  • 7. Participation is generally defined as the people’s involvement in the decision-making process through self –organized action (Cohen, Uphoff, 1962) The participation of people can be in many ways and ranging from information giving, consultation, interaction, self – mobilisation. (Pretty et al.1995)
  • 8.
  • 9. Pew Internet and American Life project 2005 The growing number of American young people who are embracing the new participatory culture 57 percent of teens are media creators created blogs, web pages, posted original artworks, photos, stories, videos, remixed online content. 1/3 rd of teens share what they create online. 22% have their own websites, 19% blog. 19% remix online content. 40% urban youth 28% suburban youth 38% rural youth are media creators. Among 15-17 years 27% of Girls 17% boys are involved social activities online.
  • 10. “ While to adults the Internet primarily means the World Wide Web, for children it means email, chat, games and here they are already content producers. Too often neglected, these communication and entertainment focused activities, by contrast with the information-focused uses at the centre of public and policy agendas, are driving emerging media literacy. Through such uses, children are most engaged— multi-tasking, becoming proficient at navigation and manoeuvre so as to win, judging their participation and that of others”- Livingstone , (2003, pp.15-16) ,
  • 11. Pew Internet Centre & American Life Project, Nov 23 rd –Dec 21, 2010 - ‘Social side of the Internet ’ Net using American adults are actively involved in various social & community organizations . 41% are active in religious and spiritual groups, 28%- sports & recreation leagues, 27% - consumer groups, 26% - charitable associations, 20% - trade associations, 17% - political organizations, 11% - youth groups or scouts, 9% - labour unions & 9% - environmental groups . The project establishes a link between competent net users who are able to apply their community networks in the real field situations . The date supports the fact that participation culture can result in social action and can result in empowering people in decision-making process.
  • 12.  
  • 13. Hypothesis Internet as a communication medium has increased the ‘active participation’ of Citizens individually and socially in the media content when compared to other media forms. Internet tools especially new media tools have increased the interactivity between the communities there by increasing the ‘communication competence’ of individuals, initiating ‘self organized action’ and influencing decision making process. Therefore Participation culture can result in collective and active social participation of all forms of groups in the society .
  • 14.
  • 15. Theory Media Dependency theory Sandra Ball –Rockeach & Melvin De Fleur, 1976 . Communication Competence theory Spitzberg & Cupach, in 1984. Hierarchy of Needs proposed by Abraham Maslow
  • 16. Community Building on the Web- Book written by Amy Jo Kim Online community expert She mapped Maslow’s offline needs to online community equivalents. People are motivated to participate in order to achieve a sense of be­longing to a group, to build self-esteem through contributions, to garner recognition for contributing, and to develop new skills and opportunities for ego building and self-actualization.
