What will the internet look like 40 years in the future? | Emily Bell | Technology | Th... - 1 views

  • So many early predictions about the internet and world wide web turned out to be wrong. It was going to be a goldmine with limited use – in fact, it has turned out to be almost the exact opposite: a sprawling society, rather than a market, with unlimited use.
  • We might, however, be on the brink of an age where internet technology does indeed change many aspects of our lives: engagement in politics, constructing and conducting relationships, culture, knowledge. The dizzying prospect is that everyone is potentially part of the network, rather than on the receiving end.

Internet v resnici ni čudežno orožje za rušenje diktatorjev - 0 views

  • Pokazal je, da internet ne prinaša samo pozitivnih učinkov – da ni čudežno orožje za širjenje demokracije in rušenje diktatorjev, da osvobajanje podatkov še ne prinaša odgovornejše politike, da nas elektronsko druženje lahko tudi razdvaja in da se na družabnih omrežjih ne širi samo napredna politika, ampak tudi nacionalizem, rasizem, ksenofobija in režimska propaganda.
  • Nove informacijske in komunikacijske tehnologije so zelo močna orodja, ki lahko prinesejo marsikaj dobrega. A le, če jih bomo v takšne namene uporabili – ljudje.

Andrew McCollum, one of the founders of Facebook, explained to me that they based the project on a pretty closed community, namely university colleges.

Why We All Have 'Internet-Addiction Genes' - Robert Wright - The Atlantic - 0 views

  • : A gene that seems to be (very modestly) correlated with internet addiction also plays a role in nicotine addiction.
  • A gene that seems to be (very modestly) correlated with internet addiction also plays a role in nicotine addiction.
  • internet addiction is not a figment of our imagination
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • Whether heavy internet use deserves to be called an addiction or just a hard-to-break habit is a question about a behavior pattern and its attendant psychological states.
  • To answer it we ask such things as how strong the cravings for the internet are, what lengths a person will go to in order to satisfy them, and so on.
  • Human beings are biochemical machines "designed" by natural selection to, among other things, form habits.
  • The habit-forming machinery involves the release of reward chemicals, such as dopamine, that make us feel good upon attaining these goals
  • In the modern world, there are shortcuts to getting these rewards
  • And there's some evidence (though here I'm approaching the limits of my comprehension of the science) that people with a particular variant of a gene involved in building acetylcholine receptors are more susceptible to nicotine addiction than other people
  • the main point is this: the biochemical mechanisms (including genes) involved in chemical addictions will naturally be the mechanisms involved in habit formation more generally since habit formation is what they were originally designed for.
  • whether it's a habit or an addiction, it is going to involve pleasure-dispensing biochemical mechanisms of the sort that can get us addicted to such chemicals as nicotine and cocaine
  • After all, the internet, like these chemicals, allows us to trigger our neuronal reward mechanisms with much less work,
  • it wasn't possible, in a very small and technologically primitive social universe, to at any time of day launch an observation or joke
  • the internet, like a pack of cigarettes or lots of cocaine, lets you just sit in a room and repeatedly trigger reward chemicals that
  • And all of us have lots and lots of these genes--genes that make us susceptible to internet addiction.
  • some of these genes may vary from person to person in ways that make some people particularly susceptible to internet addiction
  • In fact, there will turn out to be so many genes which are so modestly correlated with internet addiction
  • that if journalists write stories every time such a gene is found, or is thought to have been found, they will find that they're not shedding much actual light on the situation.
  • These genes are really just genes for being human.

Controlling the web - Fault Lines - Al Jazeera English - 0 views

  • SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, and PIPA, the Protect Intellectual Property Act, were meant to crack down on the illegal sharing of digital media. The bills were drafted on request of the content industry, Hollywood studios and major record labels. 
  • The US government says it must be able to fight against piracy and cyber attacks. And that means imposing more restrictions online. But proposed legislation could seriously curb freedom of speech and privacy, threatening the internet as we know it.
  • Can and should the internet be controlled? Who gets that power? How far will the US government go to gain power over the web? And will this mean the end of a free and global internet?

ACTA error: Democracy not found - RT News - 1 views

  • As European parliaments reject the Anti-Counterfeiting trade Agreement on human rights grounds, some are asking why it was signed in the first place.
  • The question is – why was the agreement signed in the first place, if its chances of being ratified are dropping by the day?
  • The pretext was the protection of intellectual property, and to control Internet resources that could be used by terrorists or to incite riots and other criminal activity.

  • There's an argument to be made that freedom and security are usually in opposition; the most secured people are in prison, where they hardly have any freedom. Usually, security comes at the price of freedom – and that’s exactly the cost of ACTA.

China to Web Users: Great Firewall? Just Be Glad We're Not North Korea - David Caraglia... - 1 views

  • Last week, Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt urged North Korean leaders to embrace the Internet. Only a small proportion of that country's 24 million people can access the World Wide Web, and the majority of the 1.5 million mobile phones there belong to political and military elites.
  • Meanwhile, in China, a country that has embraced the Internet to a much greater extent, the big story was about censorship, both online and off.
  • For Chinese social media users, the irony here was too perfect to go unnoticed

  • "China's progress must be viewed in the context of its unique historical and cultural circumstances.

  • Chinese public preferences are shifting from broadcast media to networked media; with that shift, the expectation for public participation is growing.

Free speech on the internet | Technology | guardian.co.uk - 0 views

  • Freedom of expression has long been regarded as one of the fundamental principles of modern democracies, in which civil liberties are honoured and regarded as a prerequisite for individual development and fulfilment.
  • It is this classic liberal argument that is still used by civil liberties' campaigners on the internet, like Hatewatch, which argues that those "hate speak" groups, such as neo-Nazis, must still speak freely, if only to expose and discredit themselves
  • It is not simply a case of "same old issue, new technology" with free speech and the internet. With its low start-up costs and global reach, the internet enables almost anyone in the West, in theory, to speak and be heard around the world, as well as hear others' speech.

Leader: Social Networks | Comment is free | The Guardian - 0 views

  • The internet has always revolved around social networking, but the explosion of a fresh generation of communal sites such as MySpace, Bebo and Facebook is taking the phenomenon into new and unchartered territory.
  • One of those applications called iLike - pigging-backing on Facebook's global network - has already attracted more than 6 million members, and is growing by 1 million every few days, making it one of the fastest growing companies of any kind ever
  • A new generation accustomed to instant networking, and unashamed about living more of their lives online, is bound to change the organisations they work for and maybe the way they are governed, or at least the way their governments communicate with them

BBC - WebWise - How does the web work? - 1 views

  • Web pages can include embedded links or ’hyperlinks’, so simply clicking the link will take you to that page. Following a trail of links is called ‘web surfing’.
  • The web is also traversed by ’spiders’ (or software robots) that follow links and collect information that can be used by search engines such as Google. Not all web users are human!
  • As websites are becoming more sophisticated than static pages, web developers are using many more versatile tools. These include CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), scripting languages such as JavaScript and PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor), and Adobe Flash.

The trouble with Facebook | Dan Kennedy | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk - 1 views

  • When I joined, five years ago, it was because I wanted an easy way to check on whether my journalism students were correctly spelling the names of classmates they were quoting in their news stories. To this day, that's pretty much my peak Facebook experience.
  • Founded by Zuckerberg and several other Harvard students in 2003, the site laboured for several years behind MySpace, the social-networking phenomenon of mid-decade
  • Indeed, Zuckerberg himself gave away the game back in January, telling a live audience that if he had it to do over again, he never would have allowed users to keep their information private.

  • Anything is possible, and no one would bet against Facebook's one day giving way to something else. But the problem for those seeking an alternative is that, at the moment, there isn't a something else. Several years ago, all those MySpace users could switch to Facebook. But where would Facebook users go in 2010?
