Abstract

Summary: "Should we fear or welcome the internet's evolution? The "internet of things" is the rapidly growing network of everyday objects--eyeglasses, cars, thermostats--made smart with sensors and internet addresses. Soon we will live in a pervasive yet invisible network of everyday objects that communicate with one another. In this original and provocative book, Philip N. Howard envisions a new world order emerging from this great transformation in the technologies around us. Howard calls this new era a Pax Technica. He looks to a future of global stability built upon device networks with immense potential for empowering citizens, making government transparent, and broadening information access. Howard cautions, however, that privacy threats are enormous, as is the potential for social control and political manipulation. Drawing on evidence from around the world, he illustrates how the internet of things can be used to repress and control people. Yet he also demonstrates that if we actively engage with the governments and businesses building the internet of things, we have a chance to build a new kind of internet--and a more open society"-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Purpose: This research is looking at the variables influencing students' insights of online purchasing during the COVID-19 pandemic. The city's lockdown and commercial centre closures during COVID-19 impacted daily life, business, and activities. Today, online business is a powerful method to reduce physical business activities. In this pandemic, many people choose to use online shopping to buying their goods. E-commerce is slowly changing every one of us, and online shopping has gradually become a mass consumption model, permeating all social strata. Hence, it is of practical implication to analyse the determining factors of online shopping behaviour. This study on perceived ease of used, perceived usefulness, reduced time, convenient, security and privacy, are the main factors in affecting students' perception of online shopping during Covid-19 pandemic. The theoretical underpinnings of this study are the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Based on the literature, a self-administered questionnaire was created. Additionally, 200 respondents from Malaysian institutions of higher learning participated in the study's conclusion. According to this study, the information gathered is extremely valuable and beneficial to students, academics, researchers, educational institutions, commercial companies, and the public sector. Design/methodology/approach: A cross sectional study was used performing the research over the course of six months. 200 respondents were surveyed online for data, which was then evaluated using SPSS. Findings: The outcome of this study proves that students' perceptions of online buying during the COVID-19 epidemic are influenced by convenience, time savings, security, and privacy. However, throughout the COVID-19 epidemic, students' perceptions of perceived utility and perceived ease of use are unaffected. Originality/value: Aims to recognise and test the components that influence students' opinions of internet buying during the Covid-19 epidemic. Convenience, perceived simplicity of use, perceived usefulness, saved time, security, and privacy are among the variables. Students who are doing their tertiary education in Malaysia participated in the survey as repondents. Keywords: Online shopping, perception, Covid-19, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, reduced time, convenience, security and privacy, Introduction Nowadays most of the nations around the world are suffering from the Covid-19 pandemic. Covid-19 is affecting many countries globally (WHO, 2020). Covid-19 is a virus that may transmit [...]

Abstract

The author examines the use of proverbs in Polish demotivators, an Internet memetic genre. The article discusses the place of proverbs in Internet folklore and places the concepts of demotivator and proverb amongst memetic phenomena. The study focuses on paremic demotivators (satires of motivational posters that contain a proverb) extracted from Polish websites devoted to demotivational creativity and examines the structure of paremic demotivators with an eye to describing the role of paremias in the structure of demotivators.

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to describe the place of individual countries in digital space through the lens of Internet domains and specific websites. We will discuss the global geography of domains in reference to states and other entities of spatial organization, and changes in the positions of individual websites. These issues will be approached with an awareness of the significant changes taking place in the functioning of the Web, particularly cyberbalkanization. This study mainly used data from Alexa rankings, the best free source of information available on the behavior of Internet users. One conclusion is the clear U.S. dominance over other countries in relation to number of most popular domains. Despite the clear U.S. dominance, the BRIC countries--Brazil, Russia, India, and China--play an increasingly significant role in the geography of domains. The trends discussed in this article are related to the so-called balkanization of the Internet. Regulations of its functioning and the growing importance of national websites and search engines have contributed to deepening the differences between Internet users in different countries. Keywords: Alexa ranking, cyberbalkanization, domain geography., INTRODUCTION Like all phenomena, the Internet and the World Wide Web are constantly evolving and being reinvented (Blank and Dutton 2014). This evolution affects access methods and content consumption and [...]

Abstract

En poc més de quinze anys, internet s’ha convertit en l’eina vehicular que sustenta aquest nou model social que coneixem com a “societat de la informació”. Internet és un servei que es basa en un entramat de xarxes de telecomunicació de naturalesa diferent, amb diversos models d’explotació i sota diferents jurisdiccions legals. Per tal de mostrar la complexitat de la governança d’internet, es presenta una visió sota tres perspectives: la tècnica, l’econòmica i la social. La combinació del vessant econòmic amb el social indueix a la necessitat de trobar un equilibri que permeti conjugar el caràcter de “servei obert” (xarxa neutral) d’internet, amb actuacions de qualitat de servei a les xarxes de telecomunicacions que el suporten. L’article proposa una distribució de la capacitat d’una xarxa que permet la conjunció anteriorment esmentada i la necessitat d’un organisme internacional independent que gestioni la governança d’internet., Quaderns del CAC, Vol. 14, Núm. 37 (2011): Internet a la deriva?

Abstract

PURPOSE: This article aims to indicate the threats posed by the violation of digital security among young people with the presentation of research on cyber aggression occurring among adolescents in Szczecin secondary schools., DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The article uses a diagnostic survey method and a research technique in the form of a questionnaire. Based on a specially prepared survey sheet, data were obtained and processed in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The survey’s subject was cyberbullying as perceived by high school students from urban areas., FINDINGS: The surveys carried out do not give a clear picture regarding the awareness of students of Szczecin high schools of cyber aggression. They are only an attempt to determine the scale of the problem and require further verification. However, the data obtained show that the phenomenon of cyber aggression is widespread and known to teenagers., PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The article contains a lot of valuable information that can serve as background material and a reference for further research by scientific specialists studying cyberbullying issues among students or institutions helping victims of online violence., ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Electronic aggression, called cyberbullying, is a serious problem among teenagers. Modern technological solutions such as the Internet and cell phones are tools whose use exposes students to a new form of violence called cyberbullying or electronic violence. Along with traditional violence, it represents a new variety of problem behaviour among young people. The presence of this phenomenon raises periodic interest in the media. Nonetheless, it has become a socially essential and cognitively interesting area for scientific research., peer-reviewed
