The document discusses various statistics related to technology use and its social impacts. It notes that people are increasingly represented through their online identities and media they create. As technology advances, the line between private and public life becomes blurred. The rapid growth of internet and mobile device use globally has connected more people but also generated large amounts of electronic waste. The document encourages readers that they have power to shape the future through their choices and actions.
Convergence Culture 504
This document discusses how media convergence has impacted today's society through various participatory and national media outlets like social media, news organizations, and entertainment industries. It notes how convergence culture has allowed events like Howard Dean's "Byaaah" to be widely publicized and remembered online. The conclusion emphasizes that media convergence will continue having an increasing impact through new technologies and challenges organizations like libraries to adapt.
Digital divide
The document discusses the global digital divide and its relationship to poverty. It defines the digital divide as the gap between those who have access to information technologies and those who do not. This divide is widening and risks excluding the world's poor from the emerging knowledge-based global economy. Two major obstacles preventing mass connectivity in developing countries are lack of adequate infrastructure and lack of knowledge. While technologies can contribute to development, eliminating the digital divide requires broader socioeconomic development and integrating information and communication technologies. The digital divide is a multidimensional problem with no single solution.
What is social media
Social media refers to online tools that allow users to create and share content. It enables a "democracy of information" where users can generate and distribute content, unlike traditional media which was focused on distributing information to passive audiences. Social media has revolutionized how information spreads, allowing some platforms to gain 50 million users within only a few years which was much faster than traditional radio and television. If Facebook was a country, it would be the third largest country in the world based on population size, showing the massive scale of user engagement on social media platforms.

The explosion of the Internet of Everything is making mobile even more important than we first believed. We each have supercomputers and are expecting to use them more everyday as we go about our lives.

The document discusses the digital divide, which refers to unequal access to computers and the internet across different social groups. It identifies several key barriers to access including a lack of interest, skills, opportunities, income, education, and infrastructure. The divide exists both between and within countries, with developing nations, poorer households, and those with less education generally having less access and slower internet speeds. Addressing the digital divide requires understanding these barriers and working to expand infrastructure, skills, and availability of affordable broadband internet access.
Satellites as worldwide change agents
Satellites have transformed the world by abolishing space and time through global communication networks. The Treaty of Westphalia established nation states as the dominant political entities, but satellites now allow instantaneous global interconnection that transcends borders. Early communication satellites in the 1960s began connecting the world, and global financial transactions now total over $1 trillion per day via satellite networks. This new "Worldwide Mind" enabled by satellite communication may reshape geopolitics and global culture.

The news is filled with stories of companies promising to “disrupt” this technology or that market. Growing trends such as mobile, apps, BYOD, open source, MOOCs, Vine-video, Social TV, 'big data,' compete for our attention and understanding. Microsoft is finally in the cloud, YouTube adds 100 hours of video per minute, Google is making devices like 'Glass,' Twitter is truly revolutionary, and Facebook may be competing with them all. Yet some of the biggest social impacts are due to much lower technologies such as sms mapping, micro-payments, mobile health.

Mass media - the Internet
The document discusses mass media and the internet. It defines mass media and its role in society. It then discusses the different types of media, including print, recordings, cinema, radio, television, and the internet. The internet is defined as an international network of computers that connects millions of computers worldwide. The document outlines common uses of the internet such as visiting social networks, following news, downloading content, shopping, and conducting banking. It also discusses popular websites, information available online, and some dangers of using the internet such as hackers, viruses, identity theft, and online addiction.
Mass media and its evolution
Mass media has evolved significantly over time from early forms like books and newspapers to modern technologies like smartphones, television, and the internet. It includes any communication that reaches a large audience, and has become deeply influential in shaping people's lives and societies. Key innovators and inventions that advanced mass media included Samuel Morse with the telegraph, Alexander Graham Bell with the telephone, and Tim Berners-Lee who created the World Wide Web. Mass media is now an integral part of everyday life and has connected civilization globally.

Class14 Global
The document discusses how globalization and the internet have changed journalism and society. It describes the evolution from nation-states controlling information in the 1400-1800s, to multi-national businesses influencing governments and commerce 1800s-1990s. The rise of the internet allowed information to flow freely, limiting governments' and businesses' control. Now niche and community media are growing to provide more localized information, as large conglomerates try to reach the broadest audiences with generalized content. The future of media involves both massive global operations and smaller hyper-local reporting that empowers individuals.
Final draft ancillary
This document contains two ancillary texts from a magazine spread and newspaper advert. The magazine spread discusses whether social media is creating an online epidemic by enabling messages to spread quickly on a wide scale, as seen with discussions around events in Sochi and LGBT rights in Russia. The newspaper advert promotes a new documentary series that will examine whether social media promotes acceptance.

- The rapid pace of technological change and its impact on societies and power structures.
- Emerging issues like ubiquitous computing, virtual identities, and asymmetric conflicts involving states and non-state actors online.
- Ensuring an open information society, virtual democracy, and balancing civil rights with security concerns in a digital world.
- Maintaining trust and privacy as technologies like biometrics and surveillance become more widespread.
Andraž Zorko: The End Of Research As We Know It
The document discusses how research and media are changing due to new technologies like the internet and social networks. It predicts that by 2025, virtual realities and consumer robotics will be mainstream, and adequate hardware to support human-level AI will be available at consumer prices. Traditional media measurements will become impossible and media will need to focus on one-on-one communication and tracking effects rather than exposures. Researchers will need to analyze digital trails, social networks, and track effects of past communications to build models and predictions.

Cyberspace & Digital Divide
Cyberspace & The Digital Divide is a document that discusses several key topics related to digital technology access and usage. It defines cyberspace, cyberculture, and the digital divide. The digital divide refers to inequalities in access to digital technologies like computers and the internet between those who have access and those who do not, or between users and non-users. Key factors that influence the digital divide are income, cost of internet access, education, gender, age, and language. Examples are provided of countries working to address the divide, such as initiatives to expand internet access in Africa. The question is raised of whether universal internet access could help create a more equal world.
Mass media internet
The document discusses mass media and the internet. It defines the internet as an international network of connected computers that has become necessary for everyday life. The internet provides a great source of information on many topics and can be used for activities like social networking, shopping, banking, education, and entertainment. However, it also presents some dangers like viruses, identity theft, and exposure to inappropriate content.

What Is the Elephant in the Digital Room?
Any history of the past three decades will give prominent, if not preeminent,
attention to the emergence of the Internet and the broader digital revolu-
tion. In the second decade of the twenty-first century, signs point to its being
a globally defining feature of human civilization going forward, until it even-
tually becomes so natural, so much a part of the social central nervous sys-
tem, as to defy recognition as something new or distinct to our being, like
speech itself.
To some extent, the revolution can be chronicled in the sheer amount
of information being generated and shared. In 1989, which seems like a
century ago, Richard Saul Wurman wrote of “information anxiety” created
by overload because there were a thousand books published every day world-
wide and nearly ten thousand periodicals then being published in the united
States.1 Google’s Eric Schmidt estimates that if one digitally recorded all
extant human cultural artifacts and information created from the dawn of
time until 2003, one would need 5 billion gigabytes of storage space. by
2010 people created that much data every two days.2 by 2012 the amount of
video being uploaded to youTube had doubled since 2010, to the equivalent
of 180,000 feature-length movies per week.3 Put another way, in less than
a week, youTube generates more content than all the films and television
programs hollywood has produced in its entire history.
Another way to grasp the digital revolution is by the amount of time
people immerse themselves in media. An extensive 2009 study found that
most Americans, regardless of their age, spend at least eight and a half hours
per day looking at a television, computer screen, or mobile phone screen,
frequently using two or three screens simultaneously.4 Another 2009 study,
by the Global Information Industry Center, determined that the average
2 digital disconnect
American consumes “information” for 11.4 hours per day, up from 7.4 hours
in 1980.5 A 2011 study of twenty thousand schoolchildren throughout Mas-
sachusetts determined that 20 percent of third graders had cell phones and
over 90 percent were going online. Forty percent of fifth graders and nearly
85 percent of middle schoolers had cell phones, generally smartphones with
Internet access.6 The Internet has long since stopped being optional.
In the united States, Europe, and much of the rest of the world, one need
not have a teenage child to understand that “social networks have become
ubiquitous, necessary, and addictive.” 7 To the students I teach, life without
mobile Internet access is unthinkable. When I describe my college years in
the early 1970s, they have trouble grasping how people managed to com-
municate, how anything could get done, how limited the options seemed to
be, how life could even be led. It would be akin to my great-grandparents
from 1860 Nova Scotia or eastern Kentucky returning to describe their ...

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
