The document discusses how citizens are increasingly relying on the internet for information and how this shift toward online self-sufficiency affects credibility. Some key points:
- People are using the internet more for tasks like booking travel and doing school projects instead of relying on physical sources.
- However, online users may not always find the information they need, and it can be harder to verify credibility without physical cues.
- Credibility is shifting from predetermined authorities to reliability based on synthesizing information from multiple sources.
- Trends like open source software facilitate this shift, as online tools are built collaboratively through an open process.

This document provides an overview of Laura Janet Rodriguez's thesis proposal on developing a cognitive artifact to encourage reflective cognition among 18-24 year old social media users. The proposal outlines the research question, sub-questions, areas of investigation, assumptions, justification, limitations, and initial literature review. The research question centers around how a cognitive artifact could be integrated into young adults' social media profile management to encourage reflection on online behavior and the permanence of online information. The proposal assumes it will focus on personal social networks and justifies the need due to legal ambiguity around data privacy and risks faced by 18-24 year olds who are prolific social media sharers.

Future of the Internet Predictions March 2014 PIP ReportVasily Ryzhonkov
This report is the latest research report in a sustained effort throughout 2014 by the Pew Research Center to mark the 25th anniversary of the creation of the World Wide Web by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. He wrote a paper on March 12, 1989 proposing an “information management” system that became the conceptual and architectural structure for the Web. He eventually released the code for his system — for free — to the world on Christmas Day in 1990. It became a milestone in easing the way for ordinary people to access documents and interact over the Internet — a system that linked computers and that had been around for years.
The Web became a major layer of the Internet. Indeed, for many, it became synonymous with the Internet, even though that is not technically the case. Its birthday offers an occasion to revisit the ways it has made the Internet a part of Americans’ social lives.
Our first report tied to the anniversary looked at the present and the past of the Internet, marking its strikingly fast adoption and assessing its impact on American users’ lives. This report is part of an effort by the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project in association with Elon University’s Imagining the Internet Center to look at the future of the Internet, the Web, and other digital activities. This is the first of eight reports based on a canvassing of hundreds of experts about the future of such things as privacy, cybersecurity, the “Internet of things,” and net neutrality. In this case we asked experts to make their own predictions about the state of digital life by the year 2025. We will also explore some of the economic change driven by the spectacular progress that made digital tools faster and cheaper. And we will report on whether Americans feel the explosion of digital information coursing through their lives has helped them be better informed and make better decisions.
This report is a collaborative effort based on the input and analysis of the following individuals.
Is it possible to opt out of technological competence, or at least a reasonable understanding of social media, metadata, or similar? The Professional Code of Conduct raises the bar on what is now a core condition of competency.
The document discusses various legal issues related to rights and obligations in cyberspace. It is authored by Dr. Tabrez Ahmad and covers topics like digital revolution and its effect on management of rights, rights and duties in cyberspace, cyber trespass, privacy in cyberspace, cyber libel, cyber stalking, spamming, cybersquatting, data protection and identity theft. It provides an overview of these topics, relevant cases, legislations and the challenges in governing cyberspace. The document also discusses two schools of thought on regulation of cyberspace and the relationship between law and social change.
Social computing and knowledge creationMiia Kosonen
This document discusses knowledge creation through social computing and the role of tacit knowledge in online communication. It addresses two research questions: 1) What are the processes underlying knowledge creation online? 2) What is the role of tacit knowledge in online communication? The document reviews literature on knowledge creation, virtual communities, social computing, and tacit knowledge. It finds that tacit knowledge plays a role in online communication by enabling individuals to communicate, build knowledge through interpretation, and develop shared understanding and norms within online communities.

Using ICTs to Promote Cultural Change: A Study from a Higher Education Contextac2182
The document summarizes Anthony Cocciolo's research on how the introduction of a Web 2.0 technology impacts the culture of learning within a community. The research studied a system called PocketKnowledge over two years. Results showed evidence that the technology provided a space for a participatory subculture to form, as users were more likely to both consume and contribute content than on other sites. This visibility of contributions online may impact users' decisions to participate and the overall culture. Future research could explore how to specifically design technologies to support participatory cultures and cultural change.
A survey of nearly 900 Internet stakeholders reveals fascinating new perspectives on the way the Internet is affecting human intelligence and the ways that information is being shared and rendered.
Pew Internet Director Lee Rainie was honored to give the Joe Pagano Memorial Web Analytics Lecture for the federal government’s Webmanager University. He discussed the latest Pew Internet data about the triple revolution in technology – in broadband, in mobile, and in social networking – and how these changes affect e-government and e-health activities by citizens. He also explored how these changes impact the broader environment of civic life and some of the changes that are likely on the horizon.
Report on data breach and privacy in nepal during covid19 by shreedeep rayamajhiShreedeep Rayamajhi
This report analyzes data breaches and privacy issues in Nepal during the COVID-19 pandemic. It discusses several high-profile cases where hackers accessed and leaked personal information from major organizations, including food delivery service Foodmandu, internet provider Vianet, money transfer service Prabhu Money Transfer, and government websites. The report argues there is a lack of awareness and proper implementation of privacy laws in Nepal, as well as insufficient cybersecurity practices among many organizations. Improving cybersecurity culture and legal protections for personal data is needed to address the ongoing risks of data breaches during the pandemic.
Driven by the behaviors and preferences of millennials, digital identities are growing rapid-fire. See how the largest cohort in history is driving a "digital first" evolution, and what role federated identity will play in this shift.
Senior research specilist Aaron Smith's GovDelivery talk about the latest Pew Internet research about public attitudes toward engaging with the government online.
This document discusses peer-to-peer computing, its significance, and future trends. Peer-to-peer computing allows individual computers to connect and share information directly without central servers. It is changing how people share information, collaborate, and learn by enabling new e-learning opportunities. However, peer-to-peer computing also raises security and legal issues by making it difficult to control how information is used. The future of peer-to-peer computing remains unpredictable as new models and technologies develop.
Social computing has the potential to be much more than just web 2.0 for business. It shifts value from ownership and institutions to experience and communities. Social computing empowers individuals through one-to-many and many-to-many connections. When adopted, it can increase productivity, engagement, collaboration and knowledge sharing among employees. Companies should embrace social computing by understanding individuals' needs, nurturing enthusiasts, and allowing participation to drive critical mass in communities.

An Automated Model to Detect Fake Profiles and botnets in Online Social Netwo...IOSR Journals
This document discusses an automated model for detecting fake profiles and botnets in online social networks. It begins with background on the prevalence of fake accounts, which can compromise user privacy and security. Next, it reviews related work on using data hiding techniques like steganography and watermarking to embed information in profile pictures in order to identify suspicious accounts. The proposed model aims to automatically detect fake profiles and botnets to replace current manual methods that are costly and labor-intensive.
The document discusses how social capital theory can help explain the social effects of the Internet. It argues that individuals and communities with higher levels of social capital, as measured by factors like generalized reciprocity and social ties, will be more socially active online as well as offline. Empirical evidence from studies in Los Angeles and of U.S. states supports this, finding those with more offline social connections and belonging were more likely to make online friends or participate in online groups. The document calls for more research examining social capital and online activity over time and across different communities.
Social computing refers to the intersection of social behavior and computational systems. It involves using technology to support social interactions and the formation of online communities. In education, social computing tools can facilitate collaboration on projects between students located in different places. They make it easy for people to jointly work on projects and share ideas. Teachers can use social computing to evaluate student work in progress and provide feedback.

These are the slides from my part of the panel presentation at the College of Law Practice Management Futures Conference at Georgetown Law, October 26, 2012.
The document summarizes the findings of a global study on consumer confidence and trust in mobile technologies. It found that while mobile device usage is widespread, many users lack confidence in the security of their devices and the networks and services they access. The rapid growth of mobile threats has not been matched with adequate security precautions by users. Building greater trust will require coordinated efforts across the entire mobile industry to address security and reliability issues.
This document discusses two types of "digital fault lines" - access fault lines and trust fault lines. Access fault lines refer to the global uneven access to digital technology and connectivity. Efforts are being made to reduce this digital divide and connect the next billion users, including building new infrastructure. While mobile access has helped increase connectivity, many challenges remain. Trust fault lines refer to issues with trusting technology companies with our data. There is a lack of accountability and responsibility on the companies' part. Increased certification of products and regulation of data use could help address trust issues and reduce the cracks in the digital fault lines.
Consumer trust in organizations' use and protection of personal data is declining according to a European study. Consumers feel that organizations benefit more than consumers from data sharing and have little control over or understanding of how their data is used. While all sectors could improve transparency and data protection, social networks and app developers have the lowest levels of trust. The study found a need for better consumer education on data management and protection, as consumers report there are few trusted sources to provide this information. If trust continues to erode due to lack of transparency, control, and education, it could lead organizations to experience lower usage and engagement. The research concludes that industries must work together to increase transparency, give consumers more control over their data, and provide

1) The document discusses the moral challenges posed by information technology, including issues around privacy, ownership and control of personal data, and security of data.
2) As technology advances, it generates vast amounts of data about people's online activities and behaviors without their full knowledge or consent.
3) Questions arise around who should have access to personal data and how it is collected, stored, and used. Individuals want control over their private information but corporations seek to commodify user data.
The document summarizes the findings of a survey on millennials' career interests, preparedness, and online attitudes and behaviors. Key findings include:
- Millennials are interested in cybersecurity careers but lack knowledge of related job responsibilities and skills.
- Many had limited computer education and guidance in high school to prepare them for cyber careers.
- Millennials express online safety concerns but engage in risky digital behaviors like using public WiFi without passwords.
- To attract millennials to cybersecurity, more education is needed on career paths and skills required for related jobs.
The document summarizes the results of an expert survey on the future of the internet conducted by the Pew Internet Project. Some of the key findings from the survey include:
- Experts believe that by 2020 innovative online cooperation will result in more efficient and responsive institutions compared to traditional 20th century models.
- A majority of experts do not believe that internet use will lower human intelligence and think tools like Google will enhance access to information and make people smarter.
- Experts think the most imaginative new technologies and applications in 2020 will be difficult to predict today and could emerge unexpectedly.
This document discusses the importance of digital trust for businesses. It defines digital trust as confidence in how a company handles personal data. There are four keys to building digital trust: security, privacy/data control, benefit/value, and accountability. The document also summarizes a survey that found only 45% of consumers trust the security of their personal data. While consumers are willing to share some data for benefits, they do not want data shared with third parties. As devices and the "Internet of Things" grow, protecting consumer data and privacy will be even more important for companies. Building digital trust can provide competitive advantages for companies.
Role of Emerging Technologies in keeping the Library currentHeather Lambert
The document discusses the role of emerging technologies in helping academic libraries stay relevant to their campus communities. It argues that libraries must adopt emerging technologies to remain heard and competitive amid increased noise and competition. Some key points are that libraries should make value-added services known through social media and search engine optimization; focus on being user-centered, collaborative, intuitive and mobile; and get to know student and faculty needs by meeting them where they are online through technologies like social networks.
The New Symbiosis Of Professional Networks Research StudyLeader Networks
The article focuses on the impact of social media and social networks to Social Media Peer Groups (SMPG) and professional decision-makers. It mentions that customers and prospects have an instant platform of discussions for their ideas, experiences and knowledge through the use of social media, wherein their important role is utilizing the tools and mediums before engaging to decision-making processes. It states that social media increase the impressive strength of decision-making and change the dynamics of customer relationship management, marketing, and communications. It also recommends being part in a peer network or online community for sharing ideas that were often formed in office settings.
This document summarizes four knowledge management processes used by Defence Research & Development Canada (DRDC): monitoring the environment, producing intelligence, mobilizing knowledge, and integration. It describes DRDC's environmental monitoring process which involves acquiring external data through 10 pathways, including monitoring cyberspace, media, research, literature, conferences, communities of practice, soliciting practitioners, reviewing experiences, individual discovery, and receiving unsolicited information. Each pathway requires different support services to filter and analyze the acquired information and detect patterns of interest.
Operant conditioning is a method of learning whereby voluntary behaviors are strengthened or weakened based on the consequences of those behaviors. Pioneered by B.F. Skinner, it uses reinforcement to increase behaviors by rewarding them, and punishment to decrease behaviors by applying unpleasant consequences. There are four main techniques in operant conditioning: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, presentation punishment, and removal punishment.
Moral education aims to teach good behavior and values to help children develop a sense of politeness and lawfulness. It involves inculcating ideals and principles to bring about positive behavioral change. While some believe morality is innate, others argue children are born with the capacity to become moral beings but need guidance from parents, teachers, and rules. Effective moral education approaches include community service, focusing on virtues each month, and problem-based learning where students help decide the curriculum. As future educators, the reporter's role will be to make positive changes in students through moral education.
The document discusses several key points about work from different authors:
1) Work promotes both mental and physical well-being and is an obligation to maintain one's life through creative production.
2) Work benefits both individuals through economic gain and communities through the provision and sale of goods to others.
3) Pope John Paul II discusses that work allows people to participate in God's creativity, the central importance of workers over just their work, and how work supports family life while sometimes being a burden.

The goal is to promote values education to develop citizens committed to building a just, humane, and democratic society and independent nation. The objectives are to develop students who are self-actualized, socially responsible, productive contributors to the economy, nationalistic citizens committed to global solidarity, and demonstrate faith. Values education should be guided by orienting to the total learner and considering the family's role in development. More than plans, teachers embodying proper values is most important. The framework is descriptive of a desirable system based on understanding the multi-dimensional human person as an individual, social and economic being, and political member of a nation
This document discusses kapwa, a core concept in Filipino psychology according to Virgilio Enriquez. Kapwa refers to a sense of shared identity or togetherness where one does not see others as strangers. It is considered the core value of Filipino culture. There are two categories of kapwa - ibang tao (outsider) and hindi ibang tao (one-of-us). Pakikisama, an important Filipino trait, refers to the ability to get along with others and maintain harmonious relationships through camaraderie and togetherness. It requires sacrificing individual interests for the group.
Humanism is an approach that focuses on human values and rejects religious beliefs, centering on human worth. Key figures in humanistic psychology include Abraham Maslow, who proposed the hierarchy of needs, and Carl Rogers, who developed the concept of the actualization tendency. Viktor Frankl focused on finding meaning and logotherapy. Humanistic psychology views humans as essentially good and focuses on healthy psychology rather than mental illness.
This document discusses spiritual development in childhood and adolescence. It notes growing interest in spirituality among the public and scholars. There is concern that religious beliefs are not taking root strongly in young people. The document outlines different perspectives on defining and conceptualizing spiritual development. It reviews relevant research traditions including psychoanalytic theories, stage theories, and developmental systems theories. Key assumptions highlighted include that spiritual development is a universal human process, multidimensional in nature, an ongoing process that interacts with social contexts, and a life-shaping force for individuals.
Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, known as El Cid, was a famous Castilian general and ruler in medieval Spain. He helped King Sancho II defeat his rivals but fell out of favor after Sancho's death. El Cid went on to serve Muslim rulers in Zaragoza while expanding his own power. In 1094, he captured Valencia after a long siege and established himself as the ruler, governing over both Christians and Muslims. El Cid ruled Valencia until his death in 1099, though the city was later abandoned by Christian forces and retaken by the Almoravids.
This document discusses the relationship between spiritual development and religious development. It mentions two views on religion and provides working definitions of religious development and spiritual development. It also references theories of religious development from Daniel Helminiak and Karl Marx and notes a difficulty with favoring stage theories of religious development.
it describes the bony anatomy including the femoral head , acetabulum, labrum . also discusses the capsule , ligaments . muscle that act on the hip joint and the range of motion are outlined. factors affecting hip joint stability and weight transmission through the joint are summarized.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

38. Many want the library to

of information, yet the
concept of “preferred” only
works in an authoritarian
view when someone who
can make others prefer or
select something over
something else.
39. The decentralization of authority
has turned out to be particularly
attractive for teenagers.
Technology allows greater
opportunity for young people to
themselves become authoritative

singular authority ends, and
reliability becomes the
predominant form of
credibility assessment.
44. Authority and
reliability approaches
are often used in
conjunction in both the
physical and digital
world.
Perhaps the most
common way to become
an authority, however,
is through reliability.
45. Authority and reliability
also have “halo effects,”
meaning that a person
who is seen as an
authority in one area
may be presumed to be
an authority in other
domains as well, even
without proven
performance.
46. Ultimately, reliability and
authority anchor the
endpoints of a continuum of
approaches to credibility.
With authority, preexisting
agreements are in place and
assumed: conversation is over.
With reliability, the
conversation is open and
ongoing.
48. Recent trends in digital media
facilitate the shift to a reliability
approach of credibility assessment.
The guiding technical protocol of the
Internet, Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP),
simply breaks data into packets and
makes sure these packets get to the
proper destination with fidelity.
49. As a result, even higher-level
Internet functions are not
defined or controlled by the
Internet itself.
The Internet is, in a very real
sense, an agreement, and an
ongoing conversation where
organizations and individuals
share informations.
50. This open architecture and
decentralized control provide
enormous capacity for
participation, which
contributes to accurate
credibility assessment through
reliability among multiple
shared perspectives and
experiences.
51. Indeed, involvement and
participation have led
many Internet software
designers to view the very
process of software
development as a means
toward credibility.

59. The openness goes a long
way toward addressing the
information self-sufficiency
paradox among youth, but
only for those with sufficient
technology skills and
education.
60. The ability of
skilled users

technologies of
the Internet has
important
implications for
youth and
education.
61. Furthermore, if schools and
other institutions prevent youth
from participating in the
underlying infrastructure, they
are limiting youths’ ability to
resolve the information self-
sufficiency paradox and, by
extension, limiting youths’
ability to learn about and act
upon credibility.
63. To be effective both in
constructing reliability-based
credibility assessments and in
working collaboratively to build
innovative technical tools,
youth must be able to engage in
appropriate conversations with
appropriate others via the
Internet.
64. Accordingly, Nielsen/NetRatings
indicates that teens’ usage of digital
media is shifting.
While the top sites for
youth ages 12 to 17 used
to be those offering a
selection of instant
messaging buddy icons, in
the last 3 years the most
popular sites have shifted
to social networking sites.
65.
66. In 2001, Lenhart, Raine, and
Lewis found that extremely
popular uses of the Internet
among teens included e-mail,
instant messaging, and visiting
chat rooms.
67. Teens’ desire for social Internet
experiences also shows up in
institutional education settings,
where Simon, Graziano, and
Lenhart found that a large
percentage of teens “say they use
e-mail and instant messaging to
contact teachers or classmates
about schoolwork.
68. Conversation theory
proposes that learning
and knowledge are
gained through the
interaction of agents
around ideas as they
go back and forth
describing an idea.
69. This interaction can
then be used to
develop new
understandings and
new knowledge
through a process that
contemporary learning
theorists call
scaffolding.

70. Learning
conversations can
take place between
two individuals (a
teacher and pupil),
two organizations
(negotiating a set of
academic standards),
or even two societies
(debating over the
best way to educate
youth).
71. Educational
organizations are now
beginning to understand
that the true power of
the Internet for learning
is not simply wide-scale
and one-way
distribution of
information, but instead
is getting closer to what
is happening inside
users’ brains.
72. The advent of services that
allow greater user involvement,
such as blogs, social networks,
and recommender, rating, or
commenting in e-commerce
and other sites, has led to
increased demand by youth
and other users for
involvement in Internet
services of all types.
73. The need to highlight
credibility in conversations has
implications for educational
policy makers as well.
Harries identifies such
“conservative attitudes” as a
structural challenge that must
be overcome.
74. What policy makers must
understand is that, as
Weingarten and Harris argue,
the unintended consequence of
creating “safe” learning
environment is an
environment that limits
learning about credibility.
