The document summarizes lecture notes on personal connections and new media from a COM325 class. It covers typical reactions to communication technology, the purposes of different technologies from the telegraph to the internet, and how digital media can disrupt understandings of self, presence, privacy, and reality. It then analyzes 7 concepts for comparing mediated vs face-to-face communication and discusses self-presentation, identity cues, the history and types of blogs, how they have changed over time, their defining characteristics, layout, who blogs and how many blogs exist.
Social media is not rocket science. With a little instruction even blondes can use social media. First look at the implications of not using social media, then explore the web landscape including channel selection.
The social network is a theoretical construct useful in the social sciences to study relationships between individuals, groups, organizations, or even entire societies.

Since the invention of the telegraph in 1792 (first method of bidirectional communication using technology), and later, the invention of the telephone (patented by Graham Bell), things have changed a lot.
The beginnings of Internet were in 1969 as 'Arpanet', connecting three universities in California and one in Utah. Since then, a revolution that changed the way people communicate took place. Blogs and social networks began to have a great importance in communication.
Blogger was born in 1999 and later in 2003, Facebook, the social network of reference.
Certainly this method has revolutionized the way we communicate but, how has been the impact on people who use them?

Social Networking Services (SNS) - allows communication, collaboration, and sharing of content within a network of contacts otherwise known as "Friends".
Social media are interactive technologies that allow the creation or sharing/exchange of information, ideas, career interests, and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks.
This presentation gives insights on social media tools that can be used by libraries. Likewise, it includes points to ponder before delving into this new world (for some it is still) of social media.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
1. Week 1 Lecture Notes COM325
Assigned reading covered:
Personal Connections, part of chap 1 (pages 1-13),
plus pages 124-133 (Self-presentation)
Blogging: Chapter One
2. Reactionsto&
purposeofnew
media
Typical reactions:
Concern that communication has become shallow
Hope based on idea that more connections are possible for
people
Anxiety over possible changes
Purpose of Communication Technology
Allow people to exchange message without being physically
present
Technology removes barriers to communication such as time,
distance, social structures
Telegraph (1800s) removed the limitation of geography
Telephone removed the loss of speech and hearing brought by
the telegraph, adding audio back to communication
Internet (and email): removed the limitations of time,
geography, adding speed and allowing asynchronous
conversation with a mass audience
3. Digitalmedia
disruption
The ability to communicate across distance at high
speeds disrupts social understandings.
Disruption questions:
What is the self if it is not a body?
How can we be both present and absent?
What do public and private mean?
What is virtual and what is real?
Gergen (2000) described the challenge of “absent
presence.” We are physically present in one space, but
mentally and emotionally engaged somewhere else!
4. 7Concepts
7 Concepts to compare mediated media to face-to-face
communication
Interactivity
Temporal structure
Social cues
Storage
Replicability
Reach
Mobility
5. 7conceptsin
action
Interactivity: ability of a medium to enable interaction
between groups or individuals
Types of interactivity:
social, textual, and technical
Temporal structure: whether communication is
synchronous or asynchronous
Sometimes this is difficult to evaluate.
Poor connections can lead to time delays, turning a
synchronous experience into an asynchronous experience.
Synchronicity can enhance the sense of placeness that digital
media can encourage and make people feel more together
when they are apart
Real-time media are poorly suited to hosting interactions in
large groups.
6. 7conceptsin
action
Social cues
Additional information regarding context, meaning of
messages, and identities of the people interacting.
Body-to-body means the full range of communication
resources.
Digital media provide fewer social cues.
Storage: the extent to which messages endure.
Replicability: the ability to make copies of messages
Reach: the size of an audience that media can attain or
support
Mobility: The extent to which media are portable
(enabling people to send and receive messages
regardless of location).
7. Self-presentation
andIdentityCues
The most important ID cue is one’s name
One’s behavior
The images, including avatars, associated with our self
Race, nationality, and social identity
One’s use of language, the primary tool of self-
disclosure
Technological competence is apart of identity cues
In the onine environment, people may present the ideal
self rather than the actual self
One’s linked network and friends
What others post about an individual
How others interpret cues affects identity cues
8. Theblog
New communication form in the 1990s founded on connections to
related topics. Blogging is the poster child for the shift from the one-
to-many mass media to participatory media
A contraction of “Web log*”
Term first used by Jorn Barger
is the sum of writing, layout, links, and the pace of publication
is a part of a larger context
is a cumulative process
The global network of blogs is known as the blogosphere
Early blogs were like Tweets with links. Very few graphics
Bloggers wrote their own code for each blog update
* log is a nautical term meaning a chronological record of event
during a sea journey
9. Timelinefor
blogs
1993 World Wide Web opens with the release of Mosaic
browser
1994 Justin Hall begins blogging “Justin’s Links”
1997 Jorn Burger coins the term “blog”
1998-1999 Free tools Pitas and Blogger allow bloggers to
publish without needing to write code
Open Diary launches as a free host for anonymous bloggers
2002 First blog search engine: Technorati. Number of
blogs doubles ever few months
2003 About 100,000 blogs exist
2004 Blog is word of the year at Merriam-Webster. 3
million blogs exist
2004 Facebook launches for students.
2005 YouTube launches
2006 Facebook accepts anyone. Twitter is founded
2008 the term “social media” is used to describe online
many-to-many communication
10. 3typesofblogs:
PersonalDiarystyle
Filterstyle
TopicStyle
Personal diary style: Tells the reflections and experiences of the
blogger off line. This tell-all style resulted in some bloggers
getting fired for too much disclosure
Filter blogs
More male than female filter bloggers
Tell about the blogger’s online experiences and Web findings
At first, filter blogs were just a list of links with brief
comments
Have evolved to include more commentary
Topic driven blog
Focus on a topic rather than the interests of the blogger
Often run by a group of contributors
Typically political or craft topics
Craft blog such as those on Pinterest have grown from 2000
to 2012
11. Characteristics
ofblogs
Defining characteristics are frequency, brevity, and
personality
Written in first person
Conversational and social allowing reader comments
Has a large potential audience
Links to other blogs
Has persistence (is archived for future reference).
12. BlogLayout
Basic unit of the post is called “discrete entries”
Has a time stamp
Has a post title
Includes a blogroll (List of links)
Has an “about” page identifying the author
Dated entries are arranged in reverse chronological
order so that most recent appears first.
13. ChangesinBlogs
from2000to2016
Increased centralization in each service (such as
Facebook) where the blogger has little control over
layout and must accept ads
More emphasis on image
Briefer content to fit mobile reading style
Fragmentation of conversations across Twitter and
Facebook
Feature more images, as in one per post
Smartphones introduced better cameras increasing
images and shifting to shorter text posts. Phone
technology allows faster download and better quality of
images. Tablets and phones are cheaper than
computers and overtake computers in the number of
users in 2016
14. Whoblogs?
20 % of users in United Arab Emirates blog once a
week
5% of Australians blog weekly
95% of New Zealanders blog weekly
Never Bloggers:
94 % of Swedes NEVER work on a blog;
62 % of Mexicans never blog;
61% of people in Cyprus never blog
Source: World Internet Project
In 2013, 1.7 million Americans listed making money as
one of the reasons they blog.
15. How many
blogs?
There is no central counting house for blogs. Inactive
blogs still appear, confusing a count. Spam blogs mar
the effort to count blogs.
Media monitoring company NMIncite tracked 181
million blogs in 2011.
China reported 300 million blogs in 2011.
In 2012, Wordpress hosted 50 million blogs
