TECH NEWS. Technology. If I had to sum up the deepest and most consistent concerns in my communications in writing and other media over the years, it is the desire to elevate the level of discourse about technology in our lives, and to find practical answers to the challenges and pitfalls our tool use poses.

Q&A: On Using Technology To Take Learning Into Our Own Hands Interview with MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning Project. What the WELL’s Rise and Fall Tell Us About Online Community Article for The Atlantic Mobile Media and Political Collective Action, Handbook of Mobile Communication Studies (May, 2008) This chapter was contributed to a volume published by The MIT Press, about the use of mobile phones and SMS in organizing political collective action worldwide.

My Thanksgiving was one filled with texting, Snapchat, Skyping, Facetime, Beam robots and ringing phones. Some people HATE the way technology impacts their family at gatherings – people on digital devices rather than having conversations – 'making us more alone, even when we're together.' But is that really true?

This blog is about perspective on the impact of digital devices, and the bigger picture on what's going on: an accelerating trend where our connection with people is independent of our physical location. We've ALWAYS said that new technology isolates us Source: xkcd.com/1601 "Back in my day, we didn't have all these distractions" – Millions of disgruntled grandparents around the world. "Yeah, in your day, life was pretty boring and disconnected. " – Millions of millennials today. We've always preferred to get what we want, when we want.

And that trend is accelerating. The fact is we tend to romanticize the past. The Upside of Technology Join Me P.S. Episode 1: Technology Shabbat. Technological Research & Development.

Web analytics tools are abundant, but in order to use such tools effectively, you need to decide what information you need and how to interpret it correctly.

Interpreting Web Analytics for Beginners

After that you then need to make the necessary changes to your web site in order to attract more visitors and improve your search engine rankings. What information do I need? This is a question that you should try answering before deciding on which web analytics tool to choose – going for the most advanced and most expensive one is not always the best choice. If you primarily source of traffic are the search engines, you will most certainly need information that tells you: Which keywords and key phrases are the visitors using to find your web site?

If you want to analyze the on-site experience of your visitors, then you need to look into different data: What are the most popular entry and exit pages? How do I interpret the Web analytics data? What changes should I make? Law of mass action. In chemistry, the law of mass action is a mathematical model that explains and predicts behaviours of solutions in dynamic equilibrium.

Law of mass action

Two aspects are involved in the initial formulation of the law: 1) the equilibrium aspect, concerning the composition of a reaction mixture at equilibrium and 2) the kinetic aspect concerning the rate equations for elementary reactions. Both aspects stem from the research by Cato M. Guldberg and Peter Waage between 1864 and 1879 in which equilibrium constants were derived by using kinetic data and the rate equation which they had proposed. Guldberg and Waage also recognized that chemical equilibrium is a dynamic process in which rates of reaction for the forward and backward reactions must be equal at chemical equilibrium. In order to derive the expression of the equilibrium constant appealing to kinetics, the expression of the rate equation must be used.
