10 Requirements your Cloud Provider Must Meet - 0 views

  •  
    Cloud Computing has the ability to increase uptime and accessibility, while decreasing the cost of ownership for application and server management. By using a provider's hardware, you only pay for what you use, rather than purchasing expensive equipment. In turn, this translates into an ability to scale up and down depending on your needs. Your Cloud Provider must meet 10 Requirements such as Security, Network Performance and Latency, SLA (Service Level Agreement), Network Connectivity, Available Managed Services, Customer Support, Scalability, Flexibility and Experience. With the Cloud your IT department will become a reliable, quick, and value-adding core to your business.

Social Network Sites: Public, Private, or What? : The Knowledge Tree - 0 views

  • Social network sites are the latest generation of ‘mediated publics’ - environments where people can gather publicly through mediating technology.
  • Persistence. What you say sticks around.
    • Jeremy Price
       
      Interesting.
  • Searchability.
  • ...19 more annotations...
  • Invisible audiences. While it is common to face strangers in public life, our eyes provide a good sense of who can overhear our expressions. In mediated publics, not only are lurkers invisible, but persistence, searchability, and replicability introduce audiences that were never present at the time when the expression was created.
  • Replicability. Digital bits are copyable; this means that you can copy a conversation from one place and paste it into another place.
  • Context is only one complication of this architecture. Another complication has to do with scale. When we speak without amplification, our voice only carries so far. Much to the dismay of fame-seekers, just because the Internet has the potential to reach millions, the reality is that most people are heard by very few.
  • The lack of context is precisely why the imagined audience of Friends is key. It is impossible to speak to all people across all space and all time. It’s much easier to imagine who you are speaking to and direct your energies towards them, even if your actual audience is quite different.
  • two audiences cause participants the greatest headaches: those who hold power over them and those that want to prey on them.
  • Some try to resumé-ify their profiles, putting on a public face intended for those who hold power over them. While this is typically the adult-approved approach, this is unrealistic for most teens who prioritise socialisation over adult acceptance.
  • Recognise that youth want to hang out with their friends in youth space.
  • When asked, all youth know that anyone could access their profiles online. Yet, the most common response I receive is “…but why would they?”
  • The Internet mirrors and magnifies all aspects of social life.
    • Jeremy Price
       
      Consistent with capturing/recording interactions in general.
  • When a teen is engaged in risky behaviour online, that is typically a sign that they’re engaged in risky behaviour offline.
  • technology makes it easier to find those who are seeking attention than those who are not.
  • Questions abound. There are no truths, only conversations.
  • They can posit moral conundrums, show how mediated publics differ from unmediated ones, invite youth to consider the potential consequences of their actions, and otherwise educate through conversation instead of the assertion of power.
  • group settings are ideal for engaging youth to consider their relationship with social technologies and mediated publics
  • Internet safety is on the tip of most educators’ tongues, but much of what needs to be discussed goes beyond safety. It is about setting norms and considering how different actions will be interpreted.
  • Create a profile on whatever sites are popular in your school.
  • Keep your profile public and responsible, but not lame.
  • Do not go surfing for your students, but if they invite you to be Friends, say yes. This is a sign that they respect you.
  • The more present you are, the more opportunity you have to influence the norms.

Robert Putnam - Bowling Alone - Journal of Democracy 6:1 - 5 views

  • ocial scientists in several fields have recently suggested a common framework for understanding these phenomena, a framework that rests on the concept of social capital. 4 By analogy with notions of physical capital and human capital--tools and training that enhance individual productivity--"social capital" refers to features of social organization such as networks, norms, and social trust that facilitate coordination and cooperation for mutual benefit.
  • Whether or not bowling beats balloting in the eyes of most Americans, bowling teams illustrate yet another vanishing form of social capital.
  • the most fundamental form of social capital is the family, and the massive evidence of the loosening of bonds within the family (both extended and nuclear) is well known.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Across the 35 countries in this survey, social trust and civic engagement are strongly correlated; the greater the density of associational membership in a society, the more trusting its citizens. Trust and engagement are two facets of the same underlying factor--social capital.[End Page 73] America still ranks relatively high by cross-national standards on both these dimensions of social capital. Even in the 1990s, after several decades' erosion, Americans are more trusting and more engaged than people in most other countries of the world. The trends of the past quarter-century, however, have apparently moved the United States significantly lower in the international rankings of social capital. The recent deterioration in American social capital has been sufficiently great that (if no other country changed its position in the meantime) another quarter-century of change at the same rate would bring the United States, roughly speaking, to the midpoint among all these countries, roughly equivalent to South Korea, Belgium, or Estonia today. Two generations' decline at the same rate would leave the United States at the level of today's Chile, Portugal, and Slovenia.
  • Other demographic transformations. A range of additional changes have transformed the American family since the 1960s--fewer marriages, more divorces, fewer children, lower real wages, and so on. Each of these changes might account for some of the slackening of civic engagement, since married, middle-class parents are generally more socially involved than other people. Moreover, the changes in scale that have swept over the American economy in these years--illustrated by the replacement of the corner grocery by the supermarket and now perhaps of the supermarket by electronic shopping at home, or the replacement of community-based enterprises by outposts of distant multinational firms--may perhaps have undermined the material and even physical basis for civic engagement.
  • The technological transformation of leisure. There is reason to believe that deep-seated technological trends are radically "privatizing" or "individualizing" our use of leisure time and thus disrupting many opportunities for social-capital formation. The most obvious and probably the most powerful instrument of this revolution is television. Time-budget studies in the 1960s showed that the growth in time spent watching television dwarfed all other changes in the way Americans passed their days and nights. Television has made our communities (or, rather, what we experience as our communities) wider and shallower. In the language of economics, electronic technology enables individual tastes to be satisfied more fully, but at the cost of the positive social externalities associated with more primitive forms of entertainment. The same logic applies to the replacement of vaudeville by the movies and now of movies by the VCR. The new "virtual reality" helmets that we will soon don to be entertained in total isolation are merely the latest extension of this trend. Is technology thus driving a wedge between our individual interests and our collective interests? It is a question that seems worth exploring more systematically.
  • who stress that closely knit social, economic, and political organizations are prone to inefficient cartelization and to what political economists term "rent seeking" and ordinary men and women call corruption.
