    This is our future? Are the days of the Archie comicbook now obsolete? Wil our kids and grandkids, now use tablets to peruse the world of comicbooks?

Big Data is our generation's civil rights issue, and we don't know it - Solve for Inter... - 0 views

  •  
    Been reading up on big data since the first mashup and found this article on big data being our generation's civil rights issue. Personalization is being touted as the future but, as this article states, is it just another word for discrimination as well?

Classroom of 2020: The future is very different than you think - The Globe and Mail - 0 views

  •  
    Not sure if technology replaces an intimate, interactive learning environment. The problem is defining which classrooms benefit from it rather than a university-wide policy. (I meant to post this when I first read it but came back to it around after watching another digital education seminar).

    Looking at how a politician turns to reddit to see legislative advice. Showing how technology/social media is being used to engage the public on political issues- even the future of their governance.

No More Résumés, Say Some Firms-The Wall Street Journal - 1 views

  •  
    Building off of Yates article...Union Square Ventures recently posted an opening for an investment analyst. Instead of asking for résumés, the New York venture-capital firm asked applicants to send links representing their "Web presence," such as a Twitter account or Tumblr blog. Something to think about when applying for internships and jobs in the future!

    I have mixed feelings about this because I think it is a great way to show potential employers your online 'voice' so to speak. However, I feel it can infringe upon privacy in some cases. It also makes it difficult for people like myself who have high privacy settings on twitter and can only be accessed by followers. Does someone temporarily follow me well scoping me out? I'm not sure
  •  
    I agree with you Rya. While I appreciate such innovation, it's difficult for me to comprehend the privacy issues related with such a thing. Doesn't LinkedIn suffice anymore?
  •  
    I agree with both of your comments Rya and Raman. There really does seem to be a privacy issue here. I suppose with all the recent competition for work, employers are looking for ways to distinguish candidates (doesn't seem fair). Although we started off building our "online presence" for personal reasons, there appears to be a need to build a public professional presence as well. Perhaps the trick is to keep your personal account private to maintain our sense of privacy and start building an online professional profile that is public. Blogging about a professionally related topic, linking field-specific articles etc. might be the way to get noticed.

Why Google's super-specs are the (strange and awkward) future - The Globe and Mail - 0 views

  •  
    What an acerbic article on a pretty cool innovation. "This, incidentally, is quite disconcerting; bluetooth technology is already making it harder to spot lunatics on the street. Time was when muttering audibly to a disembodied presence or pair of spectacles would be considered prima facie evidence of diminished responsibility, but no more"

Should Live Tweeting Be Protected Like Broadcast Rights? - 0 views

  •  
    I think this is a new aspect in the reporter/journalist vs. citizen journalist debate. Really interesting how there is already a policy in place regarding live-tweeting from the athletic department at the University of Washington. "Social media has irreversibly altered the media landscape, and the power relationship between big content brands, individual reporters and fans. But the major money makers - ad-rich TV and radio, in particular - will always, or at least for the foreseeable future, remain in the control of the powerful. So it's best for them to lay off the micromanaging, and accept some bit of change."

Digital Staffing: The Future of Recruitment-by-Algorithm - Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic - Ha... - 3 views

  •  
    As a consequence of spending so much time online, we now leave traces of our personality everywhere. Our online behaviors are of interest to recruiters and employers, who are desperately trying to translate them into "digital reputations" and use them to find talent online. This HBR article mentions that Egosurfing -or self-googling-is now more important than updating your CV.

Why Marketers Should Be Targeting Social Moms On Twitter And Facebook [INFOGRAPHIC] - A... - 0 views

  •  
    Interesting how this demographic is increasing its presence on social networks. Something to keep in mind for future digital marketing strategies. "Moms social network a lot. How much? Eight out of ten (80 percent) use social media regularly, with 90 percent of those having visited Facebook in the past 30 days, and just over one-third (37 percent) hanging out on Twitter over that same period."
