The document discusses research from the Pew Internet & American Life Project on internet use and politics. It finds that over half of adults engaged in political information seeking or actions online during the 2010 midterm elections. Social media is increasingly used for political purposes, with one in five adults using sites like Twitter for this. Mobile devices are also becoming more prominent for political news and engagement, with over a quarter of adults using cell phones for political purposes in 2010. While older adults are less likely to use social networks generally, those who do are as politically active as younger users. Partisan differences seen in 2008 had diminished by 2010.
This presentation was given during CPRsouth4 in Dec 2009 in Negombo, Sri Lanka. This is based on a study carried out with funding support from the Philippine ICT Research Network in Feb-August 2009.
The phenomenon of interest may be described as the extent to which social media may be used inpolitical campaigns, including past campaigns and future campaigns. This includes four main questions: (1) Was there significant use of social media in past political campaigns, namely the 2008 campaign of President Barack Obama? (2) Has social media continued to be used in subsequent political campaigns? (3) If social media has been used, have there been any problems with its use? (4) What is the best way to utilize social media in future political campaigns?

Kristen Purcell was invited to speak this Thursday, August 12th, with the staff of the online news site Philly.com. She will share data on online news and information consumption from Pew Internet’s report Understanding the Participatory News Consumer (link). Kristen will highlight some findings about local news coverage that were not included in the original report. Roughly four in ten adults say there is currently not enough news coverage of their neighborhood or local community (38%) or that there is not enough coverage of their state (39%). These “local news enthusiasts” are slightly younger and more mobile than other adults, and are more engaged in social network site use and in commenting on and sharing news they find online.

This study examined college students’ use of online media for political
purposes in the 2008 election. Social media attention, online expression, and
traditional Internet attention were assessed in relation to political self-efficacy
and situational political involvement. Data from a Web survey of college stu-
dents showed significant positive relationships between attention to traditional
Internet sources and political self-efficacy and situational political involve-
ment. Attention to social media was not significantly related to political
self-efficacy or involvement. Online expression was significantly related to
situational political involvement but not political self-efficacy. Implications
are discussed for political use of online media for young adults.

organized around the creation and exchange of media content (Kolbitsch

sharing and social network sites to obtain campaign information and=
or share campaign news with others, exchange their political views,
and express support for a candidate (Kohut, 2008; Smith & Rainie,

· Your thoughts on these additional pros and cons of social networ.docxoswald1horne84988
· Your thoughts on these additional pros and cons of social networking?
Pros
1-Increased criminal prosecution because of social media
The NYC police department began using Twitter back in 2011 to track criminals foolish enough to brag about their crimes online. When the Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley Cup in 2011, their Vancouver fans took to the streets and rioted, but local authorities used social media to track and tag the people involved, and they caught people who were stealing during the riot.
2-Social networking creates new social connections
Statistics showed that 70% of adults have used social media sites to connect with relatives in other states, and 57% of teens have reported making new friendships on social media sites which is amazing for some students who are socially uncomfortable in a public setting for various reasons do really well when there isn't any pressure to look a certain way.
3-Better quality of life
If you want to talk about the pros and cons of social media, take a close look at all the support groups on Facebook. Members of these groups discuss their health conditions, share important information, and resources relevant to their conditions while creating strong support networks.
Cons
1-Social media and the news
Much of the news information that people read about comes from social media websites, and that figure estimate is around 27.8 %. This figure ranks just under print newspapers at 28.8%, greater than radio's figure of 18.8% and far outpaces the figure for other print publications at just 6%.
2-Pupils spending too much time on social media sites have lower academic grades
Statistics show that pupils using social media too often tend to have GPA's of 3.06 compared to GPA's of 3.82 for pupils who don't use social media.
An even scarier fact is that students who use social media tend to score 20 % lower on their test scores than their counterparts which not good if children are supposed to be our future.
3-Social media sites to blame for lost productivity
Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter are a direct cause for lost productivity at the workplace. In a survey 36 % of people said that social networking was the biggest waste of time in comparison to activities like fantasy football, shopping, and watching television.
4-Social media is the cause for less face to face communication
In a 2012 study families who reported spending less time with one another rose from a level of 8% in 2000 to 32% in 2011. The study also reported that 32 % of the people in the survey either were texting or were on social media sites instead of communicating with each other during family gatherings.

Lee Rainie gave a keynote address about the new civic and political landscape to a summit sponsored by the Pew Voter Information Project for state election officials and technology executives who help them. More: http://pewinternet.org/Presentations/2011/Dec/GeekNetNYC.aspx
Lee Rainie, Director of Internet and Technology Research at the Pew Research Center, presented this material on October 29, 2020 to scholars, policy makers and civil society advocates convened by New York University’s Governance Lab (GovLab). He described findings from two canvassings of hundreds of technology and democracy experts that captured their views about the future of democracy and the future of social and civic innovation by the year 2030. Among other subjects, the experts looked at the impact of misinformation, “techlash” and trust in government institutions.
Lee Rainie, Director of Internet and Technology Research at the Pew Research Center, presented this material on October 14, 2020 at a gathering sponsored by the International Institute of Communications. He described the most recent Center public opinion surveys since mid-March, covering the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, racial justice protests that began in the summer, and the final stages of the 2020 presidential election campaign. He particularly examined how and why people are using the internet in the midst of multiple national crises and their concerns about digital divide and homework gap issues. And he covered how the Center has researched the impact of misinformation in recent years.
Lee Rainie, director of internet and technology research, presented a synthesis of the Pew Research Center’s growing explorations of issues related to trust, facts and democracy at a forum hosted by the International Institute of Communications on December 5, 2018. His presentation covered Center findings related to declining trust in institutions, increasing challenges tied to misinformation and the ways in which concerns about trust and truth are linked to public attitudes about democracy.
Lee Rainie, Director of Internet and Technology research, spoke about the skills requirements for jobs in the future at the International Telecommunications Union’s “capacity building symposium” for digital technologies. He discussed the changing structure of jobs and the broad labor force and the attitudes of Americans about the likely changes that robots, artificial intelligence (AI) and other advances in digital life will create in workplaces. The session took place in Santo Domingo on June 18, 2018.
Lee Rainie, director of Internet and Technology research at the Pew Research Center, gave the Holmes Distinguished Lecture at Colorado State University on April 13, 2018. He discussed the research the Center conducted with Elon University’s Imagining the Internet Center about the future of the internet and the way digital technologies will spread to become the “internet of everywhere” and “artificial intelligence” everywhere. He also explored the ways in which experts say this will create improvements in people’s lives and the new challenges – including privacy, digital divides, anti-social behavior and stress tests for how human social and political systems adapt.
Lee Rainie, director of internet and technology research at Pew Research Center, discussed recent findings about the prevalence and impact of online harassment at the Cyber Health and Safety Virtual Summit: 41% of American adults have been harassed online and 66% have witnessed harassment. The findings come from the Center’s recent report on these issues.
Lee Rainie, director of internet and technology research at Pew Research Center, presented these findings at the International Monetary Fund/World Bank’s Youth Dialogue and its program, “A World Without Work?” The findings tie to several pieces of research at the Center, including reports on the state of American jobs, automation in everyday life, and the future of jobs training programs.
Lee Rainie, director of Internet, Science and Technology research at the Pew Research Center, described the Center’s research about public views related to facts and trust after the 2016 election at UPCEA's “Summit on Online Leadership.” He explored how education is affected as students face challenges finding and using knowledge. In addition, he covered the Center’s latest research about how ubiquitous technology shapes the new information landscape for students.
Lee Rainie, director of Internet, Science and Technology Research at the Pew Research Center, spoke on May 10, 2017 to the American Bar Association’s Section of Science and Technology Law about the rise of the Internet of Things and its implications for privacy and cybersecurity. The velocity of change today is remarkable and increasingly challenging to navigate. Rainie discussed Pew Research Center’s reports about “Digital Life in 2025” and “The Internet of Things Will Thrive by 2025,” which present the views of hundreds of “technology builders and analysts” on the future of the internet. He also highlighted the implications of the Center’s reports on “Americans and Cybersecurity” and “What the Public Knows about Cybersecurity.”
Lee Rainie, director of Internet, Science and Technology research at the Pew Research Center, discussed the Center's latest findings at the Mid-Atlantic Marketing Summit in Washington. He talked about how people use social media, how they think about news in the Trump Era, how they try to establish and act on trust and where they turn for expertise in a period where so much information is contested.
Lee Rainie, director of Internet, Science and Technology research at the Pew Research Center, discussed his group’s latest findings about the role of libraries and librarians on April 3 at Innovative Users Group conference. The latest work shows that many people struggle to find the most trustworthy information and they express a clear hope that librarians can help them. He explored recent research about how people are becoming “lifelong learners” and that library services are an element of how they hope to stay relevant in their jobs, as well as find ways to enrich their lives. He drew on Pew Research Center studies about the information and media sources people use and how they decide what to trust.
Lee Rainie, director of Internet, Science and Technology research at the Pew Research Center, presented at the Computers in Libraries 2017 conference on March 30 new findings about how people have shifted to the mindset of lifelong learners and the implications of that for librarians. He discussed how people’s disposition towards information and knowledge – are they engaged or are they wary? – shapes how they use library resources. He also discussed future technology trends and how librarians will have to adjust to them.
Lee Rainie, director of internet, science and technology research at Pew Research Center, gave this speech at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida on Feb. 16, 2017, about the new age of politics and media. He described what Donald Trump's campaign and the dawn of the Trump presidency have taught us about the historic shifts in politics and media that have occurred in the last generation.
Lee Rainie, director of Internet, Science and Technology research at the Pew Research Center, discussed the Center’s latest findings on digital divides based a survey conducted from Sept. 29 to Nov. 6, 2016. The presentation was to the board of Feeding America. Rainie looked at differences tied to internet access, home broadband ownership, and smartphone ownership by several demographic measures, including household income, educational attainment, race and ethnicity, age, and community type. He also discussed the Center’s research related to “digital readiness gaps” among technology users.
Lee Rainie, Director of Internet, Science, and Technology research at the Pew Research Center, presented this material on December 12, 2016 to a working group at the National Academy of Sciences. The group is exploring how to think about creating an academic discipline around "data science."
Lee Rainie, director of Internet, Science and Technology research at the Pew Research Center, presented the Center’s latest findings about the use of digital technology and its future at the Federal Reserve Board’s Editors and Designers conference in Philadelphia on October 6, 2016. During the keynote he discussed the impact of social media, collaboration, and future trends in technology with a special focus on the issues tied to security and reputational risk that face the Federal Reserve System. He described how the Center’s research can help communicators:
-Disseminate their messages across multiple digital and traditional media channels
-Engage their audience and encourage amateur evangelism
-Assess the impact of their outreach and observe challenges to their material
-Think like long a long-tail organization that also has real-time immediacy
Lee Rainie, director of Internet, Science and Technology Research at the Pew Research Center will cover the latest findings of the center’s public opinion polling about Americans use of libraries and their feelings about the role that libraries play in their lives and in their communities at the American Library Association Conference in Orlando. The new findings will cover the latest library-usage trends, book-reading trends, and insights into the ways more and more Americans hope libraries will offer community-oriented and educational services.
Lee Rainie will present findings from Pew Research Center’s report titled "The Internet of Things Will Thrive by 2025" to the American Bar Association Section of Science & Technology law on March 30, 2016. The report presents the views of hundreds of “technology builders and analysts” on the question of whether Internet of Things will have widespread and beneficial effects on the everyday lives of the public.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Interest in politics + access to basic social media tools = engagement via social media (regardless of age or political affiliation) As in other venues (e.g. health, general news consumption) we see a reliance on “people like me” to help evaluate info and make decisions Led by young adults, mobile politics began to play a more prominent role 4/14/2011 3 Internet and Politics
