    We are now in a world with new media, such as Facebook, Twitter and so on. These tool spread knowledge and information. They help people to work more efficiently. However, on the other side. There are also some false information on the internet. Some people may deliberately post some information to hurt others. It will hurt people. So, we must teach people how to protect themselves from all those dangers. This is media literary. The article emphasizes on how to create such a literacy. Only with this literary, people can control the social media. As a result, they can create a participatory culture.

    In 1996, the US computer entrepreneur Brewster Kahle set up the Internet Archive, its mission being to provide "universal access to all knowledge". This admirable project strives to store copies of every single web page ever posted: a ghostly archive of the virtual.

    Apliquemos la ley de Clarke a estas predicciones. Si la predicción de los eminentes estudiosos de edad madura, y bibliófilos, se formula así: ES POSIBLE QUE EL LIBRO IMPRESO EN PAPEL NO DESAPAREZCA, y la ley de Clarke dice: "Cuando un científico pero de edad madura afirma que algo es posible, casi siempre estará en lo cierto. Cuando declara que algo es imposible, lo más probable es que se equivoque", la predicción casi siempre será cierta si esos libros no desaparecen. Si la predicción se formula en esta forma: ES IMPOSIBLE QUE EL LIBRO DESAPAREZCA, y los libros desaparecen, lo más probable es que se equivoquen. ¿Por cuál fórmula optamos? Apliquemos ahora la primera versión del corolario de Asimov a la predicción que augura el fin del libro formulada así: EL LIBRO ESTÁ MUERTO (O MORIRÁ), AUNQUE NO DEL TODO. El corolario dice: "Sin embargo, cuando el público profano se manifiesta en torno a una idea denunciada por científicos eminentes pero de edad madura, y apoya dicha idea con fervor y sentimiento, es posible, después de todo, que los científicos eminentes pero de edad madura estén en lo cierto". Por lo tanto: Es posible, después de todo, que los eminentes estudiosos pero de edad madura, y bibliófilos, estén en lo cierto. No hay más remedio que esperar a que pase el tiempo para ver si se cumplen la ley y los corolarios en las predicciones, enunciadas en una u otra forma.

    Thank you for posting. Although I am not very keen on reading fiction electronically, the article was very interesting and informative about the latest tendencies in electronic publishing.

    I am one of those people who like reading books electronically and enjoy it. Kindle has been around for some years now but we still have books publshed in paper format. There is still a number of people who prefare to have paper copy of a book. Books are here to stay. I have a kindle but I hardly ever use the devise. I use the app on my mobile, computer or Ipad.

    why you are addicted to devices and the internet, not the reward, but anticipation of reward--oh yeah, and designers know about your cognitive psychology and are trying to exploit it for profit! "In the 1940s, two researchers named James Olds and Peter Milner accidentally uncovered some peculiar properties of a special area of the brain. The researchers implanted electrodes in the brains of lab mice that enabled the mice to give themselves tiny electric shocks to a small area called the nucleus accumbens.

    Varios son los servicios icónicos del internet, pero uno de los más gigantes, además de YouTube o Facebook, sin lugar a dudas es Wikipedia y su revolucionaria manera de brindar información al mundo. Gozando de un término adquirido similar a "Googleando", Wikipedia es sinónimo de diccionario, enciclopedia y es la primera vía a la que cualquiera recurre ante una duda informativa.

    El gran volumen de información y la velocidad con la que se genera en línea son sus puntos de partida. Se trata de un informe dinámico y en evolución, abierto al futuro, que invita a los profesionales a participar en los debates de su foro online y recoger cuestiones claves para próximas reuniones. En él se han identificado cinco tendencias clave que cambiarán el entorno de la información: las nuevas tecnologías expandirán, y a su vez, limitarán el acceso a la información; la educación en línea democratizará y modificará el aprendizaje global; los límites de la privacidad y la protección de datos se redefinirán; las sociedades hiperconectadas se harán más visibles y, por último, la economía global de la información se transformará.

    Christopher Kelty has written a book on the cultural importance of open source software and made it freely available under a CC license. It looks at free software from both a technical and social perspective, allowing for greater insights into its significance for today and for tomorrow.
  • Matt Tibble on 19 Nov 14
     
    This is a very interesting and thought provoking ebook. Not only does it provide a helpful historical view of how free software came to be, but it posits the impact of such a phenomenon on industry and culture. I particularity liked the view that the pervasiveness of free software - thanks to the Internet - is such that free software itself is instigating much change beyond its original perceived sphere of influence, being software applications. A good read if open source software, free software and impacts on culture interests you.

    Young people, such as myself, don't always realize the need for privacy as we grew up in an era dominated by the internet. I think it's important to educate people to be wary of releasing sensitive information (such as financial documents, as this article highlights) as negative consequences are likely to ensue.

    Very interesting! Thanks. "MOOCs and MOOC-type courses have added a new dimension to the educational landscape by strengthening the non-formal educational space and providing opportunities to experiment with the disaggregated components of the educational experience"

    After watching the Willinsky video, this hit home even more. I think the value of quality education is extremely important, and creating a "global village" of learning is still in its growing pains. Having a face-to-face instructor/professor/facilitator lets you ask the questions that pop to mind and being in a classroom setting allows an idea to flow and develop into other ideas. There are a lot of social media tools that are familiar to a lot of students living in a Western culture, but those social tools are not always available to developing countries; many do not have access to schools or even have a computer - as this article indicates, MOOCs are certainly a venue that opens learning opportunities for those who do not have access to learning in a formal environment, but may have access to the internet. What I particularly found interesting were the various MOOC categories - Gateway: MOOCs for prepping to get into higher learning; Research showcase: promote an institute's research areas; Professional skills: MOOCs for those who need to "upskill" or specialize…and there are others. The main reason for taking this course was to improve my knowledge of what social media is out there (MOOCs are part of it), how it is being used, and how useful is this "new" media is within the publishing realm. It is a challenge.

    I found this article interesting to me as it is some how relevant to digital identity and social media. This is an article from magazine The Atlantic that being published on May 2012, by Stephen Marche. At the beginning of the article Marche represents that over-reliance on social networking has turned people isolated by telling a true story about the Playboy Playmate Vickers's mummified body was found a year after she died and in the months before her death, she had not made any calls to her friends or family but kept in touch with the fans from internet sites. Along with the article, Marche represents that social media such as Facebook have made people networked easier than ever, but at the same time it is also making more and more people lonely. Also, Marche has exemplified a social condition, anomie, which is described as a lack of social norms characterized by breakdown of social bonds. Thus this article has provided relevant resource about anomie which has become part of deterioration to interpersonal relationship with social networking.

    In this article, Barker believes that technology has somehow become harmful to communicate in person among teenagers. Teens prefer to write to each other such as pick up their phones to ping each other, communicating by texting though instant messaging and social networking sites like Facebook, Twtter rather than talking to each other in person. Thus this has given out a general that is technology has become a problem in communication since cell phone has become widely used in society. Therefore, within the development in cell phone technology, smartphone was invented, which a mobile phone is built on a mobile computing platform that not only a communication tool to make phone call or text message but also allows people to go on internet or play game for their pastime. Hence this with the development for technology, people spends more time on their smartphones rather than having interaction between people which has become an issue in our life. By reading this article, it leads my thought to online education. Being honest, I enjoy the in person discussion rather than online written discussion however digital platform has provided a convenient way for people to share their ideas. However this article did raised a good question, technology makes everything easier for people but does it somehow hurt the communication among people?

    In this article, Newman states that smartphones are prominent on campus nowadays. According to the survey that he has mentioned in the article, there are 59% of Tam students own smartphones; and 61% of them think that smartphones do waste their time even though there are 81% of them think that smartphones have made their life easier. Thus is, although most of the smartphone users believe that smartphones do bring them lots of convenience in life, most of them also agrees that smartphone are wasting their time in life especially in users always spend too much time on the smartphone apps and some of them think that smartphones have put a hindrance to human communication as it mentions in the article that "smartphones put a wall between people and the emotions they have". I feel like using smartphone is kinda of a trend in university right now. People can use their phone to search, download and read articles through the phone. Finding a balance with yourself and technoloy is important, however finding a balance for the publisher and technology is also important as knowledge has been quite open access to people on the internet right now.

    The Canadian Government promoting how sharing private content of someone is illegal. Having the internet and our social media tools, it is so easy to share and connect with people. It is great in many ways, like education, social life, work etc. but when it comes to personal life, maybe it is not as great. People like to share because it is easy and fast, there are no physical restrictions. There are consequences but because there are too many people doing it, it is hard to target everyone. With this digital age coming so quickly, maybe rules, regulations, and education are still trying to catch up. If I have not taken this course, I would not have known that sharing a screenshot on Whatsapp with friends is actually illegal. The point is when everyone is doing it now, and we were not deeply educated on this topic beforehand, how is this going to stop? When sharing screenshots has became a trend, how is it possible to stop?

    I think this video does an excellent job of not victim-blaming, or casting any moral judgement. I think it's easy to say "don't take pictures", etc., but approaching it as a strictly legal matter may be a better route to take. Speaking of the general open access movement, I think some valuable lessons could be taken from this for raising awareness about appropriate uses of open access information. It reminds me of the Disney compilation copyright video we watched at the beginning of the course - using some very literal imagery to get a point across, and explaining what the law is, not what people are doing with it.

    I think this PSA does a really good job of communicating a 'touchy' subject in a tasteful manner. The message is simple and very relatable for adolescents. Cyberbullying is a tremendous issue among youth in Canada and I am really glad to see the government taking preventative initiatives.
