Control and autonomy in social media
The document discusses control and autonomy in social media. It touches on several topics:
- The rise of social media platforms like Blogger and Google and how they ended the communications monopoly and allowed for more open conversations online.
- However, it also notes concerns about how social media and constant connectivity may be "infantilising" people's brains and reducing attention spans.
- Issues of data privacy, surveillance, and how users are the products being sold through their data on these platforms are also examined.
- The document raises questions about who truly has control in the online space and what the impacts of long-term social media usage may be on people and society.

Information technology has virtually eliminated the costs of communication through tools like the Internet and email. It empowers people by allowing them to be creative, productive and learn new things, realizing their potential. Developments in information technology and global media mean that even the strongest military can lose a war not through violence but through shaping world opinion.
Creating Value in an Era of Exponential Change Learning Series
How is your organization competing to win, in a world where access to anyone or anything is constantly available and automatically recommended? Join Brian Vellmure, Principal/Founder of Innovantage LLC to better understand how you can help your organization and communities win—win membership, win engagement, and win your users’ time, energy and attention. Assuming the current trajectory, we soon will have an interconnected, global network of people, machines, robots, appliances, cameras, smartphones and devices we have not even conceived yet. A faster and richly connected Internet continues to outpace our individual comprehension of how to leverage new technology—but will we remain captive to an old way of thinking? In a networked economy, the concept of competing and winning may be outdated. Or perhaps it’s simply the methods, measurements and outcomes that have become old-fashioned. The better question may be: How will you continually create value in a constantly evolving world?

The sociology of the mobile phone
This document discusses the sociological impact of mobile phones. It explores how mobile phones have made the world more connected by allowing people to communicate across geographic boundaries. However, they have also increased dependency and led people to interact less face-to-face. While mobile phones provide safety benefits and have positive educational impacts, overreliance on them can isolate people from real human interactions and prevent them from developing social skills. The mobile phone has also become integrated with fashion and lifestyle, exerting social pressure on people.
Global Data Exceeding Voice
Global mobile data usage has surpassed voice calls as the primary use of mobile networks. Data traffic now makes up over half of all mobile network traffic, fueled by growing use of messaging apps, social media, and mobile internet access on smartphones. Spending on data services has tripled in just two years, reflecting shifting communication preferences of mobile users towards electronic messaging and away from traditional voice calls. Experts predict that by 2015, more people will access the internet using mobile devices rather than computers.
Technology, Tension & Education
This document summarizes three major technological revolutions throughout history and their impacts. The printing press fundamentally changed university education and increased access to information through cheap texts. The steam engine powered the industrial revolution and the railroad, taking people out of the home for work. The personal computer has led to significant student use for both play and education while eliminating distance through the internet and enabling e-commerce. Each revolution brought both opportunities and tensions around their societal implications and changes to education.

Social impact of technology media presentation
The document discusses how technology such as mobile phones, social media, video games, and the internet have both positively and negatively impacted social isolation. While these technologies enable communication, they can also be addictive and replace face-to-face social interaction. However, the document argues that people are not fully socially isolated, as online communication through forums and games can still be social. While overuse of technology has risks, it does not completely eliminate social experiences.
EXT 503 - The New Decision Makers
The document discusses how crowdsourcing and collaborative websites are encouraging 18-29 year old males to influence production. While these platforms claim to provide worldwide access, in reality only 3% of the world has internet access and typical users are white, educated males from wealthy countries. Studies show males are more active creators and consumers of user-generated content. For example, on the crowdsourcing site Threadless, 72 out of 89 total designers interviewed were male. This raises questions about who truly has power and control over crowdsourced labor and production online.
MOOCs and ubiquitous computing
This document discusses trends in technology and higher education from 2013 to 2020. It predicts that mobile phones will become the primary internet access point for most people due to increasing computing power and low prices. Tablet computers and MOOCs are expected to be adopted within one year. Jobs predicted that while personal computers will still be used, most people will not need them. Touchscreens, motion controls, and mobile apps are seen as interface transformations. The document discusses many ongoing and potential impacts of technology on higher education such as open educational resources, automation impacts, and challenges of economic and demographic changes.

Film 315 Presentation
The smartphone revolution began in the late 1990s and early 2000s when mobile phone usage grew from 3 in 10 Americans to 9 in 10 Americans between 1999 and 2009. Smartphone ownership increased from 31% of Americans in 2011 to 43% in 2015. Blackberries were initially popular for corporate use but smartphones like Android and iOS devices became more common. Apps and social media have changed how people communicate and access information. Smartphones have transformed education and many see them becoming essential learning tools. What was once a luxury is now widely used around the world, changing how people live and work.

Semper Flexibilis
The document discusses how technology has revolutionized the way generations interact and do business. The older generation grew up playing outside, while the younger generation uses technology like game consoles. Ten major 21st century events, like the rise of the internet, have flattened the global business environment. Project Titan aims to introduce new tablet technology but must manage change for traditional agricultural workers. The only constant is change.
Ideealab Introduction
Networks are becoming the major way of doing business as the internet and mobile communications have made networks the central means of connecting people and allowing information to flow freely; controlling networks will be more important than controlling capital. IdeeaLab's vision is to create the world's largest web-based platform that acts as a central hub for supporting and accelerating corporate, governmental, and non-profit crowdsourcing and crowdcasting processes among young people aged 13-31.
Comm Tech 303 Final- Ashley Elgin
This document discusses communication technologies of the past and present and makes predictions about the future of communication in 2023. It examines key technologies from 1983 to the present, including the Apple Lisa, pagers, the iPod, and smartphones. It also discusses theories like critical mass theory, Moore's innovation adoption curve, and media system dependency theory to help predict how communication may evolve. The document predicts that by 2023, dependency on digital files and screens rather than paper will continue to increase as technologies change with the times.
Data Exceeding Voice
Global data usage has surpassed voice calls as the primary type of mobile network traffic. Spending on data has tripled in the past two years while voice spending declines. Texting and social media have replaced phone calls as the main form of mobile communication for catching up with friends and coordinating events. Today's mobile devices have evolved far beyond simple communication tools - they now incorporate cameras, apps, GPS, and act as learning aids for children. It is expected that by 2015, more people will access the Internet via mobile than computer.
The place of the internet of objects in
The document discusses the potential opportunities and threats of the Internet of Things (IoT) in Africa. It outlines how IoT could help accelerate socio-economic development through applications in areas like conservation, healthcare, and infrastructure monitoring. However, it also warns that many connected devices have poor security which could expose personal and organizational data to hackers. It argues Africa must develop strong cybersecurity measures and regulatory frameworks to harness IoT's benefits while mitigating risks from inadequate security.
Adventures With Social Media [ Video in Slide2]
This document discusses 5 case studies of how social media was used in Asia:
1) Filmmaker Tan Siok Siok used Twitter to crowdsource a documentary.
2) KFC launched a successful Facebook campaign in the Philippines.
3) Lenovo engaged fans through athlete blogging for the Olympics across 25 countries.
4) South Korean blogs and media spread rumors during a debate over US beef imports.
5) Singapore authorities and hospitals used Twitter and SMS to provide updates on an H1N1 outbreak.
The case studies show how communication has become "trans-media" and the importance of search and adapting to local ecosystems in Asia's information societies.

1983: Apple Lisa
The first commercial computer with a graphical user interface (GUI) — the advance that would finally make computers usable by people with no special training. The name was the acronym for “Local Integrated Software Architecture” and possibly the daughter of someone on the development team (Steve Jobs). The computer was $10,000 and only sold 10,000 of them.
1993: Polaroid, Powerbook and pagers
JVC Video Camcorder, Apple PowerBook 160, Polaroid OneStep, Sony Sports Walkman cassette player and a pager.
2003: The iTunes Music Store was launched.
At the time, “For every 99 cents Apple gets from your credit card, 65 cents goes straight to the music label. Another quarter or so gets eaten up by distribution costs. At most, Jobs is left with a dime per track, so even $500 million in annual sales would add up to a paltry $50 million profit. Why even bother? "Because we're selling iPods," Jobs says, grinning.”

1) The document discusses the transition from an information society to a knowledge society and network society, driven by advances in information and communication technologies. It explores the economic, technological, and ideological assumptions underlying these concepts.
2) A key point is that knowledge production now makes up a large share of national economies. The network society is characterized by new forms of social organization enabled by digital networks, in contrast to previous industrial modes of production.
3) The rise of the Internet has disrupted old models by lowering barriers to participation and allowing new forms of peer production outside the market. This points to opportunities for more inclusive development models.
Mobile Tech 4 Social Change - Halifax, May 2009
Discussion topics used for the Mobile Tech 4 Social Change series (MobileActive.org) held in Halifax, Canada on May 23, 2009.
Social Media: what's the big idea
The document discusses how communication technologies have changed how and where conversations take place over time, from physical marketplaces 200 years ago to online platforms today. It notes that as of 2009, Facebook had over 200 million users and was the 5th largest country by population, showing how social media was beginning to impact communication. It emphasizes that technologies should aim to enable relevant social experiences and not be the focus, and that meaningful communication is about the interactions, not the devices themselves.

Chapter 4 MIS
This chapter discusses the ethical, social, and political issues raised by information systems. It addresses five moral dimensions: information rights and obligations, property rights and obligations, accountability and control, system quality, and quality of life. New information technologies can enable social change and new types of crimes. Key issues include privacy, intellectual property, computer crime, and the digital divide. Technical solutions and industry self-regulation aim to address privacy challenges like online tracking, but their effectiveness varies.
Lesson 4 technology how much is enough
The document discusses how technology is constantly improving to meet new and existing problems. It describes an activity where students imagine being scientists in the mid-1800s and discusses how much progress they could make solving problems from the lesson. The activity divides students into groups focusing on biology, medicine, or technology. It then has students imagine being scientists in 2052 working in cross-disciplinary teams to develop new or refined technologies, considering factors like required resolution, scale, and general functioning.

MIS Presentation about SalesForce.com
Salesforce.com is a global cloud computing company that provides customer relationship management software and platforms. It uses cloud computing through software as a service (SaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) models. Some challenges it faces include increased competition from traditional companies and new entrants replicating its model, expanding its business areas, and ensuring constant system availability. Depending on costs, integration needs, and performance requirements, companies could potentially run their entire operations using Salesforce's offerings like Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and applications on the AppExchange.
Are we becoming inefficient because of too much technology
The document discusses how technology may be making us less efficient due to distractions and multitasking. It notes that a recent study found that employees who were prevented from accessing email for five days multitasked less, spent more time on tasks, and reported lower stress levels. While technology allows easy access to information, it also tempts users to switch between tasks frequently. The document concludes that spending more time on single tasks without frequent switching between applications or devices leads to better focus and efficiency, and that balancing technology use with physical tasks can help increase organization and efficiency.
How Much Does Technology Enhance Learning?

dip.Case study
Credit card companies maintain profiles of cardholders to assess credit risk. They use a 4-digit coding system and data mining of credit card transactions to build detailed profiles. Profiles are used to promote additional products, deny applications from high-risk customers, limit credit for risky customers, and recover loans from older customers. While profiles help companies manage risk, some view the practice as an invasion of privacy.
Avoiding the Digital Death Spiral: Surviving & Thriving through understanding...
Simon will consider how we can use a deeper understanding of value and impact to survive in an ever more competitive and confusing digital landscape. How do the cultural, heritage or creative sectors cope with the twin challenges of meeting the public desire for digital content whilst maintaining their curatorial responsibilities within what could be considered an unfunded mandate? Simon will investigate the values and benefits of digital with a consideration of the risks we face in what he refers to as the Digital Death Spiral. Simon will propose one solution in particular, The Balanced Value Impact Model (BVI Model) that he has recently developed. The BVI Model draws evidence from a wide range of sources to provide a compelling account of the means of measuring the impact of digital resources and using evidence to advocate how change benefits people. Simon will argue that putting people at the centre of our strategic thinking is both the most challenging and satisfying action we can take in securing our digital futures.

MIS - Case study
This document contains a case study submitted by a student named Sana Riaz to their professor. It discusses how airline reservation systems help airlines operate more efficiently and provide good customer service by saving customers time, providing travel and hotel booking facilities. It also explains how these systems increase competition between airlines and make it difficult for new, smaller airlines to compete against major carriers that already have established systems. The student suggests some additional services like real-time flight tracking, in-flight internet access, and air signals that could improve customer service and efficiency further.

What is Digital Literacy? A guest blog from Andy McLaughlin, University of Aberdeen
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
