The document discusses the rise of social media and its implications for government and society. It notes that social media usage is growing rapidly among all demographics and that people increasingly expect information and services to be available online. It argues that governments and organizations need to adopt more open and collaborative approaches online to remain relevant, including becoming more transparent with data, engaging citizens through social media, and co-producing services. Examples of innovative social media use by governments are provided.
Vermont Connected - Advancing Municipal Communicationsvtrural
What does it take to create a successful website as a municipality? How can technology be used to improve citizens’ engagement and overall interaction with their municipal government? This workshop will walk through the building blocks of what it takes to have a municipal website that will perform well and be adopted by the community.
There many ways in which a government can keep itself open, transparent and accountable. When municipal and state governments use digital tools, from online mapping tools to easy-to-find and use websites that host downloadable sets of information, it can encourage citizens to contribute their own time, resources, and ideas more effectively. These types of collaboration are key to finding forward solutions to societal problems, and are thankfully abundant here in Vermont. It is also appropriate to see “open data” as a public asset.

By 20th June 2014, Dr Calzada (Future of Cities & COMPAS) and Dr Cobo (OII) from the University of Oxford have held a Workshop titled: #Unplugging > Beyond Hyper-Connected Societies that will take place at The Oxford Research Centre in Humanities in Oxford (UK) from 13:00-16:00.

A presentation by Marlon Cornelia, ANSA-EAP
Youth Anti-Corruption Forum in Brussels on 27 May 2010.
Session: ICT for Governance and Anti-Corruption (GAC)
Assumptions between the term Knowledge Society and how the concept evolved as a result of the advancement of ICT and growth of global network. Also discuss the implications of new forms of knowledge production on development.
The workshop will consist of academics from across the disciplines to critically analyse why the current socio-technical transformations, such as the expansion of social networks and the smart city, should not necessarily be understood as a proxy of ‘social capital’ for a better urban governance. Framed in the context of a society heavily influenced by the promises of Smart Cities, Big Data, smart devices etc., a cross-disciplinary analysis will discuss the side-effects and tensions between being online 24/7 and the subtle notion of #Unplugging, conceived as a rare privilege that only a few members of hyper-connected societies can attain.
Stephen Dodson, National Director for the DC10plus network presents on how DC10 plus is taking the NGA debate forward at NextGen 09 in Leeds on 16 and 17 November 2009
Created for an independent study on Media & the Digital Divide, this presentation discusses the latest developments in Municipal Wireless Internet and how they could be leveraged to lessen the divide in urban communities throughout America.

This lecture deals with the impact of digitalization on culture in a wider sense. How does the fourth industrial revolution shape our society and how do we relate to each other as human beings?
Trends in e-government reflect trends in society but also help shape public services and governance. What really is happening now and how will this continue up to 2020? Why we should be both excited yet cautious.
3. The most important thing to remember about the virtual world is that it is actually very real People have a digital wrapper around their lives
4. Communication is moving online T1/T2/R1/IN1/M1 Can any of your TV sets receive additional channels other than BBC, ITV, Channel 4,S4C, and (where available) Channel 5? Do you have a recorder for your TV service which can record and store TV programs onto an internal hard drive, and also pause and rewind live TV ? In which of these ways do you ever listen to radio in your own home? Does anyone in your household have access to the internet at home through a computer or a laptop ? Do you personally use a mobile phone? (Prompted responses, single coded) Base all adults aged 16+ (3244 in 2005, 2905 in 2007, 812 in 2009) Significance testing shows any change between 2007-2009.

11. This would be someone else’s problem if not for the fact we are seeing increases in all demographics 18-24 years olds are only 12% of the active online audience
43. None of these have been created or run by the government though they may have been helped
44. As your communities start to self organise more effectively you need to understand where you add value to this process It’s not about resources anymore
