The document discusses the development of social networking sites and their increasing importance and influence in society. It notes that social networks are replacing other communication platforms and online communities are becoming more stratified. As social networks become more mobile-accessible, their user base is decreasing in age. The document argues this model can help develop early warning strategies for issues like cyberbullying through cooperation between stakeholders. It also suggests social networks could form the basis of a "digital social contract" through principles and policies to prevent problems while promoting inclusion.

Mobile Governance And Accountability Mobileactive08
The document discusses the potential for using mobile technology to improve citizen participation and local democratic governance in developing countries. It raises questions about how mobile technologies could be used for participatory budgeting, public consultations, and democratic accountability. While some e-democracy initiatives have emerged in Latin America, barriers still exist around cultural acceptance of technologies and economic constraints. The document argues that mobile technologies may help address some of these challenges by making democratic applications more accessible and usable. It calls for collaboration between networks to research, develop, and test innovative mobile tools that can strengthen local governance and participation.
Interface
The document discusses the history and development of social media and connectivity online. It notes that initially, users were drawn to social media sites to fulfill a need for human connection (paragraph 1). This connectivity then allowed platforms to build profitable online markets. After the creation of the World Wide Web in 1991, more interactive and two-way platforms for online social connections emerged after 2000 (paragraph 2). Everything once shared privately, like family photos, became publicly shared. The document outlines different types of social media and discusses how platforms and social practices evolved together. It also notes how connectivity became quantifiable through metrics like likes and followers (paragraph 3). While early platforms encouraged participation and peer production, they became larger and harder to regulate after 2005 as

The document discusses the MIT Center for Future Civic Media (C4FCM) and its goals of using technology to strengthen local communities and civic engagement among residents. It aims to develop an open-source digital toolkit and curricula to help young people capture and share local knowledge through mapping and media, and organize civic initiatives through an online advocacy forum. The toolkit would allow users to take photos, record interviews, and construct local maps to represent neighborhood information and share it online.

This document summarizes a panel discussion on using social media and networking for civic engagement. It outlines opportunities like easily connecting people and mobilizing activism. Potential downsides include lack of structure, anonymity, and polarization. The vision is for a connected citizenry that increases understanding and holds government accountable through streamlined policymaking. However, obstacles like uninformed decision-making and siloed networks must be addressed. The document advocates for renewed civic education and more responsive government partnered with responsible citizens.

ME 216 ICT in Industry "Digital Divide"
The document discusses the digital divide, which refers to the gap between those who have access to modern information and communication technologies (ICTs) like the internet, and those who do not. It notes that while access to ICTs has spread rapidly in industrialized countries, the growth has been uneven in developing nations. This can further widen socioeconomic divides. Some key points made include that over 40% of people live on less than $2 per day, making basic internet access unaffordable, and that disparities exist between countries in areas like number of scientists and engineers, which influence technological development. The true significance of the digital divide is its potential economic effects, as access to ICTs and information is increasingly important

Internet voting: Will communities decide?
This presentation considers potential methods for communities to help shape and influence the decision as to whether Internet voting will be adopted. In particular, a case study will be presented of the use of the public-involvement method of a Citizen Jury to deliberate on the question of whether Internet voting should be adopted. It is argued that because considerations other than public opinion, such as the interests of stakeholders and the influence of mass and online media in framing of issues, will continue to affect the opinions of elected representatives, community-informatics theorists and practitioners should develop innovative methods of ensuring that the voice of citizens can be meaningfully incorporated into the decision as to whether Internet voting will be adopted.

eDemocracy2012 Simon Delakorda Political_informatics-how_should_civil_society...e-Democracy Conference
This document discusses the democratic risks of digital governance, including technocratic e-governance and fake e-democracy. It examines two cases - a government proposal portal that received over 1,000 citizen proposals but only accepted 11, and an e-democracy subportal that provided weak transparency. This has led to consequences like public disappointment, distrust in institutions, and alternative informal participation channels. The document argues that NGOs can help address these issues by advocating for transparency, expertise, and partnership with governments in areas like pilots, participatory design, and community building to support more citizen-driven e-participation.Digital Divide (age)
The document discusses the digital divide between younger and older generations in their use of technology. Younger generations have an easier time using and learning technology due to factors like confidence with education and experience, a desire to learn new things, and being accustomed to multi-tasking and instant gratification. For older generations, technology is foreign, and they may feel fear of the unknown or lack an interest in technology. Statistics show that while computer use among those over 65 has increased 47% from 2000 to 2004, only 20% of older adults went online in 2003 compared to 65% of younger adults.

Digital citizenship powerpoint poe
This document discusses the digital divide and its consequences. It defines the digital divide as the gap between those who have access to computers and the internet versus those who do not. It explains that lack of access to technology puts poorer nations at an economic disadvantage and prevents schools from teaching vital tech skills. The document suggests ways for governments to help solve this issue, such as providing cheaper tech alternatives, improving rural infrastructure, and offering training to help people learn new technologies.
The ramifications of digital divide
The document discusses various digital divides caused by socioeconomic, infrastructure, content, universal access, gender, and skills factors. These digital divides impact forms of capital like social capital by restricting people's ability to network; knowledge capital by limiting access to information and skills development; and human capital by reducing populations' collective skills, knowledge, and abilities. Addressing digital divides could help maximize these different types of capital within and between countries.
virtual community and web portals_ecommerce
Virtual communities exist online in various forms like websites, chat rooms, and newsgroups. They allow people to connect and discuss common interests. Key elements of virtual communities include cellular technology, intelligent software agents, and electronic marketplaces. Early web communities included The WELL, GeoCities, and Tripod. Web portals combine virtual communities, search engines, and directories to provide stickiness and attract advertisers. Examples include AOL, Yahoo, and MSN. Internal web portals can create virtual communities among employees on company intranets.
DMC_9propositions
This document contains 9 questions about concepts from Marc Bousquet's work on participatory culture and digital media, including: how YouTube has become a hybrid media space; the differences between Jenkins' participatory culture and Murray's participatory affordance; whether intellectual property owners can both use and strictly regulate amateur user contributions; the shift from stickiness to spreadability among content creators; the software needed to enable spreadability; concerns about new technologies restricting cellphone use at concerts; other examples of participatory cultures beyond the social good; conflicts between gift economies of sharing and monetizing user activity on platforms; and whether using platforms constitutes a social skill that can leave some people behind.
Building Digital Citizenship
This document summarizes Gerard Goggin's presentation on building digital citizenship, with a focus on disability inclusion. Some key points:
- Digital citizenship involves more than just cyber safety and literacy, but full civic, political, social and cultural participation using digital technologies.
- Accessible technology is crucial to support the four areas of NSW's inclusion plan but is not mentioned in the current plan, indicating a need to "catch up".
- Both global forces and reliance on private markets threaten equitable access, so governments must play active roles in facilitating innovation and access.
- Disability perspectives can help reimagine universal and inclusive design of digital technologies and systems to meet diverse needs and promote digital rights.
Digital Divide
The document discusses the issue of the digital divide and efforts to address it. It provides background on the digital divide, how it affects people globally. It presents a case study on Guangxi Province in China where access to technology is limited. It then discusses the One Laptop Per Child initiative that aims to provide affordable laptops to children in developing areas to help bridge the digital divide. It outlines a student group's action plan to raise awareness and funds to support this initiative to address unequal access to technology worldwide.
Virtual communities
This document discusses virtual communities from different perspectives. It defines a virtual community as having people, shared interests, interactions that build social capital through norms and trust, and use of conversational technologies. Belonging to a virtual community involves expectations of benefits and sense of community, as well as activities and interactions. The document outlines perspectives on virtual communities from various fields including economics, management, sociology, information systems, psychology, and communication. It cautions against overstating the newness of online social life, focusing only on technology and not people, and trying to include everything in one investigation. Virtual communities remain complex systems.
Ramification
The document discusses the digital divide, where unequal access to digital technologies exists between developed and developing countries as well as within countries. The digital divide can negatively impact social, knowledge, and human capital. To address this, the document proposes a government-led campaign called #ConnectingTheUnconnected that would provide centralized access to computers and free public WiFi, introduce e-government and e-learning initiatives, and support small businesses in e-trading, in order to promote digital inclusion and skills.

UnBias Fairness Toolkit Workshop
The document describes the Fairness Toolkit, which was co-designed with young people to promote awareness about algorithmic bias and enable civic dialogue. The toolkit includes Awareness Cards to help youth explore bias scenarios, TrustScapes for youth to visualize their perceptions of online fairness issues, and MetaMaps for stakeholders to respond to the TrustScapes. It aims to amplify young people's voices in debates about trust and fairness online through a public civic dialogue.
Accessibility Nonprofits Live
The document discusses a live online event about accessibility and assistive technologies. Guests included Sachin Malhan from Inclusive Planet, Sharron Rush from Knowbility, and Neil MacGregor from goQ. They discussed topics like accessibility, universal design, adaptive technologies, building inclusive online communities, and the potential for an online platform called Inclusive Planet that connects people with disabilities. Participants were encouraged to ask questions and learn more about making information and technologies accessible to all.
'Urban Digital Disability'
Urban digital technologies present both opportunities and inequalities for people with disabilities. The majority of people with disabilities live in cities in the global south and face significant barriers to equal participation due to a lack of accessible transportation, housing, education, healthcare and other services. While mobile phones and the internet could help overcome some of these barriers, many people with disabilities cannot afford or access these technologies. There is also a failure of imagination in how digital technologies are designed to be inclusive of disability. However, disability rights advocates are working to reimagine cities and media through a social model of disability that recognizes disability as a normal part of human diversity.

When communication innovations lead to social exclusion
1) The document summarizes research on the digital divide conducted between 2006-2013. It analyzed over 900 articles on the topic and identified patterns in the arguments.
2) A key finding is that an unequal access to the Internet is a new source of social inequality that requires intervention. However, the benefits of Internet access are dependent on existing offline resources and may be irrelevant or detrimental for some.
3) Non-users are often blamed individually rather than considering the systemic factors involved. The digital divide policies aim to create a perfectly connected digital society but could be viewed as a cultural project.
Information and communication as sources of understanding and transforming th...
This document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICTs) have transformed society through globalization and virtual communities. ICTs such as home computers and laptops are now widely available and have greatly impacted modern life. Communication has also been transformed, becoming nearly instantaneous through email, video conferencing, and digital media. While ICTs have enabled benefits like access to information, improved communication, and new opportunities for education, they have also led to negative effects such as job loss, reduced social interaction, a growing digital divide between socioeconomic groups, and potential for spreading misinformation.
IT does not stop
We live in a “digital” world, the separation between physical and virtual makes (almost) no sense anymore. Here, the Corona pandemic has also acted as an accelerator/magnifier demonstrating that the future of our digital society is here with all its possibilities, but also shortcomings.
In his talk, Hannes Werthner will briefly reflect on the history of computer science, and then discuss the need for an interdisciplinary response to these shortcomings. Such an answer is the Digital Humanism, which looks at this interplay of technology and humankind, it analyzes, and, most importantly, tries to influence the complex interplay of technology and humankind, for a better society and life. In the second part he will discuss this approach, and show what was achieved since its first workshop in 2019, and what lies ahead.

The document summarizes Slovenia's achievements in e-government from 2000 to 2012. Some key developments include the first e-government strategy in 2001, the launch of the state portal and early e-services. Modernization of several government registers also occurred. The e-VEM and e-Social Security projects received international awards for improving service delivery. The current e-government strategy aims to increase efficiency, user uptake of services, infrastructure sharing, and support for cross-border services. The e-Social Security system launched in 2012 processes over 10,000 applications daily through automated data exchanges across 50+ data sources, saving costs compared to manual processes. Going forward, e-government needs to focus more on back-office functions and increasing
Community, gender and technology
1. The document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICTs) can impact human development in communities, with a focus on achieving gender equality and fairness of opportunities for women and men.
2. ICTs can make community contributions more visible, strengthen communication rights, and influence politics, attitudes, and behaviors, but must represent a plurality of voices.
3. Digital inclusion requires public policies, tools for participation, and understanding ICTs as tools for human development beyond just telecommunications.

Citizen Sensor Data Mining, Social Media Analytics and Development Centric ...Artificial Intelligence Institute at UofSC
Citizen sensor data mining, social media analytics, and development-centric web applications were discussed. Key points included:
1. Citizen sensing allows ordinary people to observe, report, and share information using mobile devices and social networks. This creates citizen-sensor networks with potential for disseminating social signals.
2. Social media plays important roles in activism, journalism, business intelligence, and global development. Development-centric platforms like Ushahidi and Sahana support collaboration and crisis response.
3. Understanding social media requires studying content, people, and networks through a spatio-temporal-thematic lens using metadata about locations, times, topics, identities, relationships, and information flow.Deliberation In The Internet
Simon Delakorda from the Institute for Electronic Participation in Slovenia presented on establishing and facilitating deliberative internet public debates. Some of the key issues discussed included how to moderate debates without censorship, ensuring legitimacy and inclusiveness, addressing privacy concerns for participants, and getting policymakers to include the results of internet debates in adopted legislation. Delakorda argued that internet debates can increase visibility, legitimacy, and participation for NGOs, but present challenges around resources, expertise, and ensuring impact. Active moderation, unbiased reporting, and follow up are important to maximize the democratic potential of online debates.
e-G8 Summary
The e-G8 forum in Paris brought together Internet stakeholders to discuss issues like Internet regulation, intellectual property, and economic growth with the goal of presenting conclusions to the G8 summit. Key topics included balancing Internet openness with responsibilities, how the Internet contributes to jobs and innovation, and ensuring access for all citizens. While some governments saw a need for more regulation, many participants emphasized upholding principles of free expression, privacy, and net neutrality. The e-G8 delegation to the G8 emphasized the Internet as a driver of economic and social progress best served by proactive policies but not arbitrary restrictions. The G8 response acknowledged the importance of Internet openness, transparency, and freedom.

This document discusses digital youth work, including Verke's goals of increasing knowledge and support for using digital media in youth work. It notes perspectives on discovering new possibilities and how advanced technology can seem magical. Digitalization is happening now rather than in the future, and digital skills are important for citizenship. While access to technology is important, participation and control of information is also key. Digital youth work can use digital tools and media to achieve the same goals as general youth work, in both online and offline settings, according to ethical principles. Examples of digital youth work include using robots and Minecraft servers. The EU emphasizes digital inclusion, literacy, and new forms of participation in its youth strategy.

This document discusses a research study about parental awareness of youth online behaviors and predicting resistance to protective strategies. The study used an internet survey of 456 parent-child pairs in the US to examine how supportive parents would be of various protective strategies and how children would feel about their parents using those strategies. The results showed that strategic efforts to protect kids are most likely to be met with resistance from older teens, boys, and when parent-child communication is poor. The best strategies to avoid this "reactance" are those that empower children and involve industry/government responsibility, while the worst strategies are highly restrictive controls like co-viewing, access to devices, and content blocks.Results from the 1st assessment of the Social Networking Principles for the E...

- 2. Offline and online socium functions • Relationships - socialization • Communication infrastructure • Rules – regulation and self-regulation • Services: - Information flow – media; - Education (e-learning); - Health (e-health); - Entertainment; - Business (online payment)
- 3. Developments in SNSs • High competition fast sophistication (“wars for territories”) • Rapid process of convergence: - Used instead of: standard e-mail, online games, photo and video sharing sites (socium formation); - Online communities’ stratification (informal leaders, majority, opposition, minorities discrimination, e-violence, cyber-bullying); - Always on - increasing mobile access to all functionalities (social animal). • Decreasing age of users - down to 7-year olds (early socialization, education by doing)
- 4. What does this model give us? • Understanding the irresistibility of the virtual society for the youth (natural rights, democracy, meritocracy) • Developing early-warning strategies – co-operation between all stakeholders • Helping to elaborate the skeleton of a digital “Contrat social” (Social Networking Principles, EC Directive…) • Prevention by Invention • Inclusion vs. Exclusion
