Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Steve Miller has written a readable, thought-provoking guide to the information policy conundrums of the age. He is at his best when he pierces the rhetorical redoubt of deregulation and asks what results we are seeking -- bigger monopolies? broader competition? an information elite? -- from public action. E-mail to policy makers: Read This Book." --Rep. Edward J. Markey, U.S. Congress "Finally, here is a book that clarifies the issues and lets those of us who are not computer jocks -- female or male -- understand what's going on behind the headlines so that we may become part of the decision-making process." --Letty Cottin Pogrebin, founding editor, Ms. Magazine The Information Superhighway explained! This is the book that lets the rest of us finally understand what it is, what impact it will have, and what we can do to shape our own future. What is behind the headline-grabbing mega-mergers of media companies besides speculative grabbing after windfall profits? Will deregulation and competition lead to widespread service, lower costs, and consumer satisfaction or information redlining, higher prices, and teleconglomerate monopoly? Who will benefit and who will be hurt if the United States uses high technology for competitive advantage in the global market? Is the internet a hot bed of pornography and crime, or a tool for learning and democratic power? Miller weaves together business trends, political economy, American history, technological savvy, and an awareness of our everyday needs, to focus on the issues that really matter and to make the choices clear. Readable, comprehensive, and insightful, Civilizing Cyberspace is for nontechnical people as well as computer professionals, concerned citizens as well as official policymakers. Civilizing Cyberspace explains: how universal service can be achieved while avoiding the creation of information "haves and have nots" what is necessary to protect privacy and prevent the erosion of free speech and civil liberties what we can do to protect our standard of living in a multinational economy how telecommunications can be used to strengthen democracy and community rather than simply as a new method of media manipulation

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hackers who exploit binary computers become expert cybercriminals. A vicious cycle of undetected attacks by criminal gangs, spies, and foreign enemies fuels skilled staff shortages and escalating costs. Ken Hamer-Hodges, explains why outdated computers cannot stop malware and how democracy is undermined by corrupt dictators. Digital convergence subverts yesterday’s binary computer, allowing advanced malware, pervasive cameras, misinformation, AI, and deep-fakes to destroy our culture and civilization. His inspiring examples explain the perfection of computer science that all can grasp. How malware thrives and why operating systems lead to Orwellian dictatorship. To prevent catastrophe computer hardware must catch up with software progress, preventing malware and stopping AI breakout. He explains how to transition to a well engineered, crime free, global cybersociety. How machine code achieves Alonzo Church's vision of networked function abstractions that avoid disaster by accelerating scientific progress. Plotting the path for radical improvement is vital for civilization to flourish as democratically controlled, AI-empowered, global cyber societies. Ken shows how science drives high performance with high reliability for independent applications needed in a world run by superhuman software. Join the author as he explores the fix to computer science. He shows how nations can thrive in a world run by dubious software, governed by superhuman AI, working as functional democracies kept safe from criminals, spies, and dictators.

Download or read book The Empire of Mind written by Michael Strangelove and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2005-12-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where many critics see the Internet as an instrument of corporate hegemony, Michael Strangelove sees something else: an alternative space inhabited by communities dedicated to anarchic freedom, culture jamming, alternative journalism, and resistance to authoritarian forms of consumer capitalism and globalization. In The Empire of Mind, "Dr. Strangelove," the scholar Canadian Business referred to as the "acknowledged dean of Internet entrepreneurs" and Wired called "the Canadian guru of Internet advertising," presents the compelling argument that the Internet and new digital communication technology actually undermine the power of capital, producing an alternative symbolic economy. Strangelove contends that the Internet breaks with the capitalist logic of commodification and that, while television produces a passive consumer audience, Internet audiences are more active, creative, and subversive. Writers, activists, and artists on the Internet undermine commercial media and its management of consumer behaviour, a behaviour that is challenged by the Web's tendency toward the disintegration of intellectual property rights. Case studies describe the invention of new meaning given to cultural and consumer icons like Barbie and McDonald's and explore how novel modes of online news production alter the representation of the world as it is produced by the mainstream, corporate press. In the course of exploring new media, The Empire of Mind also makes apparent that digital piracy will not be eliminated. The Internet community effectively converts private property into public, thereby presenting serious obstacles for the management of consumer behaviour and significantly eroding brand value. Much to the dismay of the corporate sector, online communities are disinterested in the ethics of private property. In fact, the entire philosophical framework on which capitalism is based is threatened by these alternative means of cultural production.

Download or read book The Virtual Community revised edition written by Howard Rheingold and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2000-10-23 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Howard Rheingold tours the "virtual community" of online networking. Howard Rheingold has been called the First Citizen of the Internet. In this book he tours the "virtual community" of online networking. He describes a community that is as real and as much a mixed bag as any physical community—one where people talk, argue, seek information, organize politically, fall in love, and dupe others. At the same time that he tells moving stories about people who have received online emotional support during devastating illnesses, he acknowledges a darker side to people's behavior in cyberspace. Indeed, contends Rheingold, people relate to each other online much the same as they do in physical communities. Originally published in 1993, The Virtual Community is more timely than ever. This edition contains a new chapter, in which the author revisits his ideas about online social communication now that so much more of the world's population is wired. It also contains an extended bibliography.

Download or read book China s Digital Civilization written by Michael Filimowicz and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the “algorithmic turn” in state surveillance and the development of new platforms that allow the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to shape human behavior in all areas of life through its widespread social credit system. Perhaps no country has gone further than China in setting up overt systematic tracking, surveillance and constant computational evaluation of its citizens. Everyday life is saturated with a pervasive digitization that affects social mobility, economic opportunities and personal freedoms. Global organizations operating in China have to take account of the ramifications of these systems for data protection within the CCP’s explicit project of forming a digital civilization. The volume covers the new technological practices that have transformed how states acquire and analyze personal data, the “TikTok-ification” of society as social credit platforms built on the familiarity with this popular app’s interaction paradigm and the fast expansion of the digital economy that followed the new legal status of data as a production component in 2019. Scholars and students from many backgrounds, as well as policy makers, journalists and the general reading public, will find a multidisciplinary approach to questions posed by research into China’s digital civilization project from media, journalism, communication and global studies.

Download or read book Critical Literacy in A Digital Era written by Barbara Warnick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2001-11 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical Literacy in a Digital Era offers an examination of the persuasive approaches used in discussions on and about the Internet. Its aim is to increase awareness of what is assumed, unquestioned, and naturalized in our media experience. Using a critical literacy framework for her analysis, author Barbara Warnick argues that new media technologies become accepted not only through their use, but also through the rhetorical use of discourse on and about them. She analyzes texts that discuss new media and technology, including articles from a major technology-oriented periodical; women's magazines and Web sites; and Internet-based political parody in the 2000 presidential campaign. These case studies bring to light the persuasive strategies used by writers to influence public discourse about technology. The book includes analyses of narrative structures, speech genres, intertextuality, argument forms, writing formulae, and patterns of emphasis and neglect used in traditional and new media outlets. As a result, this distinctive work identifies the features of online speech that bring people and ideas together and enable communities to form in new media environments. As a unique study of the ways in which ideology is embedded in rhetorical texts, this volume will play a significant role in the development of critical literacy about writing and speech concerning new communication technology. It will be of interest to readers concerned about how our talk about communication affects how we think about it, in particular those interested in communication and social change, public persuasion, and rhetorical criticism of new media content.
