A Day In the Life On The Internet I think all of us spend an unhealthy amount of time on the Internet, but that’s what makes it awesome. A bottle of bourbon and three grande meals from Taco Bell taught us the joys of things that are bad for us years ago. Now that the Internet has taken over, it would be interesting to see just how much time we spend on this wonderful invention of the gods. MBAOnline has created this handy infographic compiling the insane amount of time we spend on the Internet. As for our social networking obsession, 174 million people visit Facebook a day. As for videos, 864,000 hours of YouTube videos are uploaded to the Internet every day. What may be a topic close to many Internet users’ hearts, the average Netizen spends 14.6 minutes watching porn. All these and other stats are collected below to make us all feel bad about how much time we’re wasting online. Created by: MBA Online A Day In the Life On The Internet

15 Current Technologies My Newborn Son Won't Use I was surprised when a 23-year-old co-worker told me she didn't remember a time before broadband Internet. At some point, her parents must have had dial-up, but she was so young that she doesn't even remember back that far. Wireless broadband won't dominate the home market until he's 8 to 10, but my son won't remember a world where consumers pay for wired Internet connections. Even today, 4G LTE provides comparable download speeds and better upload speeds than cable Internet, but the cost of using mobile broadband all the time is prohibitive. At some point in the next few years, broadband providers are going to realize that giving everyone home antennas is more scalable than wiring and maintaining each street's network of fiber-optic cables.
Les places de marché ou le paradigme de la masse critique Publié le 9 mai 2008 | par Jean-François Ruiz L’article suivant est un "White Paper" rédigé par Thibaud Elzière. Thibaud était présent lors du Webdeux.Connect et a animé une session sur les places de marché en faisant bénéficier son audience de son expérience en la matière avec Fotolia puis Zilok. Préambule Il y a quelques mois on m’a proposé d’animer une table ronde sur les places de marché suite à mon expérience pratique sur le sujet.

La plus célèbre place de marché est Ebay qui met en relation des vendeurs (l’offre) et des acheteurs (la demande). Les sites de partage de contenu comme Youtube pour la vidéo ou Flickr pour la photo par exemple, même s’ils ne sont pas orientés vers un modèle transactionnel peuvent être assimilé à des places de marché, les contributeurs constituant l’offre, les visiteurs la demande.

sconsin Information Network for Successful Schools - WINSS home page Pourquoi le numérique est-il une culture ? Invité du CIGREF en tant que Grand Témoin, Milad Doueihi interpelle les acteurs de l’Entreprise Numérique ! Ses questions permettent de planter le nouveau décor qui s’impose aux dirigeants d’entreprises aujourd’hui, comme à la société en général. En effet, si le numérique est à la fois une science et une culture qui introduit de nouvelles valeurs, de nouveaux critères sur nos héritages culturels, l’entreprise peut-elle garder ses modèles d’affaires, ses options de création de valeur hérités de la culture précédente ? Milad Doueihi, auteur de « Pour un humanisme numérique », philologue et historien, titulaire de la Chaire des Cultures Numériques à l’Université de Laval au Québec. Merci au CIGREF de me donner l’occasion de partager avec vous quelques réflexions sur le monde numérique. Synthèse vidéo : La culture numérique – Milad Doueihi from CIGREF on Vimeo. Pour aller plus loin… On doit aussi se rappeler que l’informatique est une science assez particulière. De l’index au visage…
