Geekonomía / Hugo Pardo Kuklinski Desde la irrupción de Internet y la computación personal, los geeks son los nuevos escribas del mundo, capaces de crear los instrumentos que utilizan, o apropiarse de manera especial de los ya creados. Ellos configuran y la sociedad consume. Bienvenidos a la geekonomía. Se ha impuesto la categoría de comunicación digital como artilugio diferenciador para enfatizar lo nuevo. Pero los procesos industriales de la economía de la información ya son exclusivamente digitales y el término irradia ambigüedad. Son las empresas e instituciones capitalistas las que redefinieron al digitalismo haciéndolo omnipresente hasta licuarlo. Descargar infografía de keywords de Geekonomía. A través de este trabajo, intento escaparle al lugar común del discurso de la revolución tecnológica y sus generalizaciones y hacer foco en las fases evolutivas cada vez más cortas y en el nuevo argot que busca su espacio en el ecosistema semántico.

General Education Program The Saylor Foundation invites you to use our materials in any number of ways—to tutor yourself, to instruct others, to brush up on areas in which you need extra help, to spend an afternoon learning about astrophysics, or however you wish. However, should you choose to proceed through our materials with the intention of simulating the traditional four-year higher education experience, you will need to select a major, fulfill its requirements, and complete the General Education Program outlined below. The purpose of the General Education Program is to educate students about what we—as human beings—know about ourselves: our history as a species, our diverse cultures and religious experiences, our physical make-ups and environments, and how we communicate and support ourselves economically. The General Education Program has two focuses: skill development and knowledge enhancement. Skill Development 5 courses Writing Skills Requirement: 2 courses Required: ENGL001: English Composition I 12 courses
