Når privatliv blir salgsvare. De siste dagene har vi i Aftenposten kunne lese at vi som forbrukere blir fratatt grunnleggende rettigheter når vi blir medlem av Facebook. Mye av bekymringen rettes mot at innhentingen og bruken av personopplysninger er i strid med personopplysningsloven. Ifølge New York Times må brukere som vil sikre seg best mulig mot at personlige opplysninger blir spredt på nett, klikke seg gjennom 50 knapper og ta stilling til 170 alternativer. For halvparten av Norges befolkning er nettsamfunnet Facebook i dag blitt universalnøkkelen til mennesker du kjenner eller vil bli kjent med, privat eller forretningsmessig.
For andre er tilstedeværelse på verdens raskest voksende nettsamfunn blitt en del av selve livet, en venn det er vanskelig å leve uten. Undersøkelser viser som kjent at brukerne av Facebook så langt har vært mest opptatt av å holde kontakt med gamle og nye venner. Nå handler dialogen derimot i økende grad også om produkter og tjenester. Noen synes det er greit. The future of social relations. Overview of responses While they acknowledge that use of the internet as a tool for communications can yield both positive and negative effects, a significant majority of technology experts and stakeholders participating in the fourth Future of the Internet survey say it improves social relations and will continue to do so through 2020. The highly engaged, diverse set of respondents to an online, opt-in survey included 895 technology stakeholders and critics. The study was fielded by the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project and Elon University’s Imagining the Internet Center.
Some 85% agreed with the statement: “In 2020, when I look at the big picture and consider my personal friendships, marriage and other relationships, I see that the internet has mostly been a positive force on my social world. Some 14% agreed with the opposite statement, which posited: Some survey respondents noted that with the internet’s many social positives come problems. Also in this report: Overview of responses. Overview of responses In a survey about the future impact of the internet, a solid majority of technology experts and stakeholders said the Millennial generation will lead society into a new world of personal disclosure and information-sharing using new media. These experts said the communications patterns “digital natives” have already embraced through their use of social networking technology and other social technology tools will carry forward even as Millennials age, form families, and move up the economic ladder.

The number of newspapers and other media entities that are erecting paywalls or launching subscription-based apps for the iPhone and iPad continues to grow, and even some smaller regional newspapers are throwing up walls to try to protect their print subscriptions.
Other publishers, however, have found alternative methods of monetizing their content — such as packaging their older content in different formats to appeal to readers in different ways, including e-books and special feature offerings like those The New Yorker has started selling. While these may not fill the yawning gap that continues to grow between print revenue and online revenue, they are arguably a more creative response than a pay wall. Repackaging existing content for the “long tail” reader Other packages have included historical collections about baseball, including pieces dating back to 1929, some written by famous authors such as John Updike, as well as golf and the topic of “sustainability.” Web 3.0: The 'Social Wave' and How It Disrupts the Internet. As far as Travis Katz is concerned, it is impossible to name the single best hotel in Cabo San Lucas or the absolute tastiest cheesesteak in Philadelphia. It’s not that Katz, founder and CEO of travel recommendations site Gogobot, has doubts about the quality of these products.
It’s that the answer “depends very much on who is asking the question.” And according to speakers at the recent Wharton Global Alumni Forum in San Franciso, that basic fact is at the root of the next wave of disruption to hit the Internet. “Web 2.0 was centered on user-generated content, where anyone could be a publisher. We’re now in the third wave — I call it a social wave,” said Katz, a former MySpace executive who served on a Forum panel titled “New Directions for Social Media.” The web has grown to the point where “there’s too much information,” according to Katz. Katz predicted that the future of the Internet “is one where every page is going to be personalized. No Social, No Viability How, Not Why. SXSW 2011: The internet is over | Technology.
If my grandchildren ever ask me where I was when I realised the internet was over – they won't, of course, because they'll be too busy playing with the teleportation console – I'll be able to be quite specific: I was in a Mexican restaurant opposite a cemetery in Austin, Texas, halfway through eating a taco. It was the end of day two of South by Southwest Interactive, the world's highest-profile gathering of geeks and the venture capitalists who love them, and I'd been pursuing a policy of asking those I met, perhaps a little too aggressively, what it was exactly that they did.
What is "user experience", really? What the hell is "the gamification of healthcare"? Or "geofencing"? Or "design thinking"? The content strategist across the table took a sip of his orange-coloured cocktail. This, for outsiders, is the fundamental obstacle to understanding where technology culture is heading: increasingly, it's about everything. Web 3.0 The game layer The dictator's dilemma Biomimicry comes of age. Logging Off: The Internet Generation Prefers the Real World - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International. Seventeen-year-old Jetlir is online every day, sometimes for many hours at a time and late into the night.
The window of his instant messaging program is nearly always open on his computer screen. A jumble of friends and acquaintances chat with each other. Now and again Jetlir adds half a sentence of his own, though this is soon lost in the endless stream of comments, jokes and greetings. He has in any case moved on, and is now clicking through sports videos on YouTube. Jetlir is a high school student from Cologne. He could easily be a character in one of the many newspaper stories about the "Internet generation" that is allegedly in grave danger of losing itself in the virtual world.
Jetlir grew up with the Internet. In spite of this, Jetlir thinks that other things -- especially basketball -- are much more important to him. 'What's the Point? ' Indeed, Jetlir does not actually expect very much from the Internet. The Internet plays a paradoxical role in Jetlir's life. The Net Generation. The State of the Blogosphere 2010 Brian Solis. InShare410 The question we ask ourselves when examining the state of the blogosphere is whether or not the cup is half full or half empty? Personally, I believe the answer lies in the nature of circumstances.
If drinking from the glass, it is then half empty. If pouring, it is half full. With the rise of Twitter, Posterous, Tumblr and other forms of micromedia, many believed that the glass was half empty. Blogging appeared passé as many individuals opted for microblogging, investing in the art of the short form. Today, 100 million Tweets flew across Twitter. On Facebook this month, the average user created 90 pieces of content and contributed to the more than 30 billion pieces of content (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photo albums, etc.) collectively shared each month.
But blogging perseveres – as it should. The State of the Blogosphere 2010 Since 2004, Technorati has published its annual State of the Blogosphere report. Gender Age Blogging’s Incumbents vs. Born to Blog. Farlig ny verden. (Foto: iStockphoto) - Mange voksne tror at forbrytelsene som er skildret (…) er så fjerne fra barnets hverdag at de bare blir noe oppdiktet eller innbilt for barna. Men vi har oppdaget at dette er en stor feil. Lovbrudd som tidligere var begrenset til voksne, blir nå stadig oftere utført av ungdom og barn. - Den frie tilgangen (…) har forgiftet sjelen og ødelagt moralen til mange ungdommer, og hindret andre i å fylle bevisstheten med nyttig kunnskap.
Tror du disse sitatene handler om dataspill? Feil. Det første stammer fra 1954, og dreier seg om tegneserier. Utsagn nummer to ble skrevet allerede i 1790. Hvordan skulle det gå med de unge damene som ble utsatt for slikt skadelig stoff? Mange var redde og diskusjonene gikk skyhøyt rundt både kjærlighetsromaner og tegneserier. Dette kalles mediepanikker. Gammel skrekk og gru Neida, du blir ikke firkantet i øynene av å spille dataspill.

PL 61/10: Participatory culture « Plinius. PL 61/10: Participatory culture The social division of labor is changing. As a civic institution the public library is moving away from a place centered on books to a place centered on activities. These activities are increasingly social and digital: collective or group-oriented rather than purely individualmulti-medial and interactive rather than straight reading or listening The new MacArthur report on participatory culture describes the new environment pretty well.
A participatory culture is a culture with relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement, strong support for creating and sharing creations, and some type of informal mentorship whereby experienced participants pass along knowledge to novices. In a participatory culture, members also believe their contributions matter and feel some degree of social connection with one another (at the least, members care about others’ opinions of what they have created).

Gästinlägg av Johan Östlund När jag antog utmaningen att flytta till DDB:s kontor i Tokyo, gjorde jag det plågsamt medveten om min bristande förståelse för det komplexa systemet av sociala koder som förklarar mycket av det vardagliga, mänskliga beteendet i Japan.
Och med tanke på att jag, i rollen som Director of Behavior Planning, förväntas utveckla byråns och kundernas förmåga att mer effektivt påverka människors beteenden i önskad riktning, kan min placering tyckas vara nästintill paradoxal. Samtidigt har den senaste tidens forskning lett till en smärre revolution för vår förståelse av det mänskliga beteendet – inte minst Daniel Kahneman och Amos Tversky’s arbete inom Behavioural Economics (översatt till Psykologisk Ekonomi). Till exempel vet vi numera att ditt och mitt beteende är precis lika förutsägbart, oavsett om du råkar vara japan och jag svensk.
Det finns m.a.o. hopp om att jag klarar av jobbet. En ”sanning” som den psykologiska ekonomin alltså nu har skjutit i sank. 1. 2. 3. 4. Is Mobile Affecting When We Read? « Read It Later Blog. Printed media used to allow us to read in the places we found most comfortable. When you imagine yourself reading the newspaper it’s probably in your favorite chair, at the breakfast table, or at the cafe with an orange mocha frappuccino in your hand. Unfortunately, as news and media moves online, it moves us away from these places and into our desk chairs. Even worse, consuming content is no longer on our own schedule. The flood of content disrupts us all day as if we have an maniacal paperboy throwing new editions on our doorstep every 15 seconds.
However, after studying Read It Later’s own data, it seems that this trend is being reversed. I’ve found that as devices become more mobile, it’s not only changing where we read, but when. Today, I’d like to show you some of the data behind this movement. Today’s data source: 100 million articles saved by Read It Later users across all major web and mobile platforms. Constant Bombardment So how are readers dealing with the deluge of information?
How Does Age Affect Web Use? Sure e-commerce and social networking are growing at breakneck paces, but have you ever wondered how trends vary between age ranges? According to a recent study by Pew Internet, the differences may not be that dramatic in all cases. In fact, the biggest difference tends to be how the various age groups access the internet, with of course, millennials leading in mobile Internet usage. However, that is not to say that there weren’t number of interesting facts found within this study; in fact, there are. And, we took the liberty of taking these points and turning them into the graphic below. Hope you enjoy!
