  • This gives me douche chills. I don't what's more disturbing, the song or the fact these morons gave him a standing ovation!
  • Thank you, BoA, for ruining this wonderful song for me forever. I know it wasn't meant for public consumption but, well, it got out. This is what happens when companies get big and have to find ways to spend money on dumb shit like this.

Maintained Relationships on Facebook | overstated - 0 views

  • What it shows is that, as a function of the people a Facebook user actively communicate with, you are passively engaging with between 2 and 2.5 times more people in their network. I’m sure many people have had this feeling, but these data make this effect more transparent.
  • The stark contrast between reciprocal and passive networks shows the effect of technologies such as News Feed. If these people were required to talk on the phone to each other, we might see something like the reciprocal network, where everyone is connected to a small number of individuals. Moving to an environment where everyone is passively engaged with each other, some event, such as a new baby or engagement can propagate very quickly through this highly connected network.
  • All Friends: the largest representation of a person’s network is the set of all people they have verified as friends. Reciprocal Communication: as a measure of a sort of core network, we counted the number of people with whom a person had had reciprocal communications, or an active exchange of information between two parties. One-way Communication: the total set of people with whom a person has communicated. Maintained Relationships: to measure engagement, we took the set of people for whom a user had clicked on a News Feed story or visited their profile more than twice.

  • Peter Marsden found the number of people with whom individuals “can discuss important matters” numbers only 3 for Americans[3]. In a subsequent survey, researchers found that this number has dropped slightly over the past 10 years[4], causing some alarm in the press, but without sufficient explanation[5].
  • Killworth, et al. found using this technique and others that the number of people a person will know in their lifetime ranges somewhere between 300 and 3000[1]. On Facebook, the average number of friends that a person has is currently 120[2]. Given that Facebook has only been around for 5 years, that not everyone uses it, and that the not every acquaintance has found each other, this number seems reasonable for an average user.
  • We were asked a simple question: is Facebook increasing the size of people’s personal networks?

Scientists ask: Is technology rewiring our brains? - International Herald Tribune - 0 views

  • More than 2,000 years ago, Socrates warned about a different information revolution — the rise of the written word, which he considered a more superficial way of learning than the oral tradition. More recently, the arrival of television sparked concerns that it would make children more violent or passive and interfere with their education.

      I'm curious. With all your research and experiments, what do you think about that?

South American writing systems - 1 views

  •  
    he earliest form of a writing system found in the Incan Empire of South America prior to colonialism was the Quipu. Although writing system may not be fitting, it served as some sort of a "transmittal system." The quipu is colored strings made of wool and cotton which are joined in many different ways and knotted in order to communicate. Several South American societies were capable of reading it. Upon the arrival of the Spanish in 1531, the conquistadors were suspicious of the quipu and burned most of them. To this day, only 300 quipu's remain. As to what the Incans were communicating with each other about, archaeologists remain uncertain. They do know however that they were used for administrative purposes such as tracking tributes. They might also have been used as maps or legends to be told orally in the future. Little is still known about this fascinating system of communication.

War and Peace in the Global Village Part III (pages 126-190) Marchall McLuhan - 1 views

  •  
    This talks about how "technology disturbs the image, both private and corporate in any society, so much that fear and anxiety ensue and a new quest for identity has to begin". This helps me because I think it is a lot easier for someone to hide and protest behind a camera and act like they are tough and are going to do something big while yelling at a camera vs. going out and yelling a the government with few watching. So the images that we are seeing over here in America or anywhere else in the world could be full of people who are acting in a manner that they have never acted before. These pages are talking about how technology worked in other wars as well, so it gives me an idea of what it could be doing now (history repeats its self).
