Referred to collectively as Web 2.0., the new technologies are drawing a fresh influx of dollars to the Net.

we found ourselves editing and revising copy that had come from a variety of platforms, through at least a dozen delivery methods.
-
made it easier for us to manage contacts while we were on the road and acted as a depository for story ideas. The fax machine was kept working at home and in the office, receiving story pitches, copy, designs, individualized newspapers, more copy, sketches, takeout menus, and ever more copy.

Without E-mail, half of what you'll read in these pages would not have materialized. Copy changed hands via every commercial on-line service you can imagine, as well as through a plethora of Internet sites.

Does Technology Affect Happiness? - NYTimes.com - 0 views
-
The answer, in the peer-reviewed study of the online habits of girls ages 8 to 12, is that those who say they spend considerable amounts of time using multimedia describe themselves in ways that suggest they are less happy and less socially comfortable than peers who say they spend less time on screens.

But the researchers hypothesize that heavy use of media is a contributing factor to the social challenges of girls.
Censoring the Web Every Which Way | John C. Dvorak | PCMag.com - 0 views
-
Ah, yes, the key is "censorship is required." It's only too apparent that this notion of national censorship on a country-by-country basis will eventually lead to a completely censored and dumbed-down Internet, which will only be useful for approved shopping, Twitter, and Facebook.
-
where content must be censored to protect the hopeless public from getting too alarmed by the crazy information found on the Web
-
The government, some academics, and the police would be able to access the international net. The dark net would form and it would bring us back to a pre-Google and pre-Alta Vista, even a pre-Yahoo, era.

Health 2.0: How Interactive Websites are Changing the Healthcare Industry | Medical Pra... - 0 views
-
These days, having a website is no longer a novelty; it’s an absolute necessity for any physician concerned with staying in front of local competition, acquiring new patients and increasing patient satisfaction. Internet access is now commonplace for the public of every age. Today the number one place people are turning to find medical resources and health care providers is the Internet, and Health care websites are the second most common sites opened on the Internet. Given this new trend in medical information-retrieval, web-based communication has become increasingly important for creating a more effective patient experience.
-
To satisfy the needs of your patient-base and streamline office workload, you need a fully-functional, interactive website that places the patient in the driver’s seat of their own medical decisions; a patient portal that enables the doctor and patient to interact in an efficient, effective and confidential fashion.
-
Health 2.0 suggests that patient-doctor interaction can take place beyond the walls of an office with the help of advanced, web-based communication technology.

Changing Paradigms Managed Learning Environments and Web 2.0 - 0 views

The paper finds that, in this rapidly changing environment, educators need to consider the implications of these developments for the current design of the LCMS. An emerging generation of users influenced by social networking experiences and empowered to create, publish, appropriate and redistribute content may find the structures of the LCMS traditional and inflexible in contrast with the user-centered approach of Web 2.0 services.
-
require innovative solutions, including broad institution-wide dialogues on the role of organizations in a Web 2.0 environment, innovative approaches to faculty training, a new emphasis on the role of faculty as learners in a rapidly changing environment, and rethinking the underlying architecture of the LCMS model.
How the internet is changing us: CDF report looks back, ahead | Knight Digital Media Ce... - 0 views

CDF found that U.S. internet users are becoming less credulous. As of June 2011, “only 40% of users said that most or all of the information on the internet is reliable—a decline from 55% in 2000.” Also, currently 60% of U.S. internet users say that “about half or less of information online is reliable”—up from 45% in 2000. About 15% currently think that “only a small portion or none of online information is reliable.” But mainstream media sites tend to attract more trust: 73-80% said most or all of the information these sites post is “generally reliable and accurate.”
-
2011 study found that internet users give high marks to newspapers for many characteristics, among them the quality of news content, local and national coverage, and providing trustworthy information. And 63% of internet users report they would miss the print edition of their newspaper if it was no longer available—up from 56% in 2007. However, internet users also report spending less than two hours a week reading print newspapers—an amount that has declined steadily since 2005

"Over the past few years," Carr wrote, "I've had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn't going – so far as I can tell – but it's changing. I'm not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I'm reading. Immersing myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. My mind would get caught up in the narrative or the turns of the argument and I'd spend hours strolling through long stretches of prose. That's rarely the case anymore. Now my concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages. I get fidgety, lose the thread, begin looking for something else to do. I feel as if I'm always dragging my wayward brain back to the text. The deep reading that used to come naturally has become a struggle."

Every 50 years or so, American magazine the Atlantic lobs an intellectual grenade into our culture. In the summer of 1945, for example, it published an essay by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) engineer Vannevar Bush entitled "As We May Think". It turned out to be the blueprint for what eventually emerged as the world wide web. Two summers ago, the Atlantic published an essay by Nicholas Carr, one of the blogosphere's most prominent (and thoughtful) contrarians, under the headline "Is Google Making Us Stupid?".

The boom in the information technology sector has had far-reaching effects especially on the immigrant population. It has almost changed the way Canada lives, works and learns. The new ‘digital literacy wave’ has caught on and that has put demands on most of us and more so the immigrant worker in Canada. Hence the language instruction is changing in Canada in response to the immigrant settlement. There are changes in other fields as well but the change is noticeable in the field of information technology as newcomers have learnt French or English and have adapted to the life in Canada.

Ron Gutman: How Technology Has Changed The Way We Access Health - 0 views
-
When I grew up, the primary sources of health information for most of us were our physicians or our friends and family. But over the past decade the resources we use and rely on for health information, and how we use it, have radically changed. With the ubiquitous availability of the Internet, we're now taking on the role of gathering and assessing this information ourselves, often before we visit or return to our doctors. To find health information, most of us turn to search engines or health sites -- whether to answer questions about a new physical discomfort, a known ailment or about a health matter facing a child or other person we care.
