Download or read book Beyond Webcams written by Ken Goldberg and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design, function, and challenges of online telerobotic systems. Remote-controlled robots were first developed in the 1940s to handle radioactive materials. Trained experts now use them to explore deep in sea and space, to defuse bombs, and to clean up hazardous spills. Today robots can be controlled by anyone on the Internet. Such robots include cameras that not only allow us to look, but also go beyond Webcams: they enable us to control the telerobots' movements and actions. This book summarizes the state of the art in Internet telerobots. It includes robots that navigate undersea, drive on Mars, visit museums, float in blimps, handle protein crystals, paint pictures, and hold human hands. The book describes eighteen systems, showing how they were designed, how they function online, and the engineering challenges they meet.

Download or read book Webcam written by Daniel Miller and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-03-12 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of webcam, especially through Skype, has recently become established as one more standard media technology, but so far there has been no attempt to assess its fundamental nature and consequences. Yet webcam has profound implications for many facets of human life, from self-consciousness and intimacy to the sustaining of long-distance relationships and the place of the visual within social communications. Based on research in London and Trinidad, this book shows how 'always-on' webcam is becoming an entirely different phenomenon from the initial use of webcam as a videophone. Webcam is examined within the framework of 'polymedia' - that is, the new environments created by the simultaneous presence of a multiplicity of communication technologies - and used to exemplify a theory of attainment that accepts media technologies as aspects of, rather than detracting from, our basic humanity.

Download or read book Everyday Surveillance written by William G. Staples and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we think of surveillance in our society, we usually imagine “Big Brother” scenarios with the government tracking our every move. The actual surveillance of our everyday lives is much more subtle, however, and may be more insidious. William G. Staples shows how our lives are tracked by both public and private organizations—sometimes with our consent, and sometimes without—through our internet use, cell phones, public video cameras, credit cards, license plates, shopping habits, and more. Everyday Surveillance is a provocative exploration of the myriad ways we are watched each day, and how this surveillance shapes our lives. Thoroughly revised, the second edition considers new topics, such as the rise of social media, and updates research throughout. Everyday Surveillance introduces students to concepts of social control and incites classroom discussion about how surveillance impacts the ways we understand people and our lives at home, work, school, or in the community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Webcam Revelations is a true story about a domineering and oppressive mother who controlled her children, adult grandchildren, work associates, and anyone that could enhance her social and financial status. This mother was relentless and showed no mercy to the ones she used and left behind. Even as the mother started declining, she wanted full-time monitoring of her actions while sleeping to make sure she would not die in her sleep. Without the use of her legs and one arm that were paralyzed in a massive stroke, she was still able to keep control of it all by the webcam. Little did she know that it would all come out and her true self would be revealed because of a final stroke that took her mind. The ones who agreed to help this mother stay alive were dying off themselves, and the ones who were alive were becoming crippled and disabled from this mother's twenty-four-hour, seven-days-a-week monitoring. It was a never-ending nightmare.

Download or read book e TESOL written by Chin-lung Wei (韋金龍) and published by Kaun Tang International Publications Ltd.. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is about the applications of networked multimedia to teaching English as a second/foreign language (TESL/TEFL) or teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL). “e-TESOL” is generated and adopted as the title of the book because “e” is nowadays frequently prefixed to many words or terms to represent the integration of information technology (IT) to specific expressions or concepts, such as e-generation, e-commerce, e-trade, e-store, e-mail, e-card, e-portfolio, e-learning, e-schooling, etc. All the e’s at the beginning of the new terms refer to “electronic”—using technology, specifically the Web or telecommunications, to deliver or process specified activities. Therefore, the term of e-TESOL for this book mainly indicates teaching English as a second or foreign language through electronic technologies, especially the Internet, the Web, or the Net. Since we are in a period of rapid change—socially, politically, economically, technologically, interpersonally, environmentally, and culturally, the significance of these changes has led many educationalists to call for an “educational reformation/revolution/restructuring”. It demands a new mindset, new methods of operation, and perhaps even a new definition of education for the challenges. None of these are possible without flexibility, creativity, and imagination, and the willingness to embrace transformation. As the earth is becoming a global village, the promotion of TESOL surely cannot be excluded from this trend. As a matter of fact, many strategies or policies have been recommended and adopted by ESL/EFL teachers to catch up with the changes. With the fast development of information technology, Internet-based TESOL has been a good alternative for ESL/EFL teachers and students. Today, the popularity of the Internet and the needs of ESL/EFL learners have made the integration of the World Wide Web into TESOL not only a possibility but also a necessity. Let us consider Taiwan as an example. The Ministry of Education (MOE) has been promoting the integration of information technology to different subjects, including English, as one of the top priorities for schools. Numerous teacher-training programs are conducted to carry out this policy. Many ESL/EFL teachers are sensing the push and the pressure. However, they always humbly considered themselves “computer idiots” or e-tards (slang for someone who is ignorant of the workings of email and the Internet) because they always excuse themselves with non-technology specialists. Making excuses or not, some of them are really e-phobic and do not know how to effectively and efficiently integrate computers or the Internet into their instruction. Therefore, it is necessary to empower ESL/EFL teachers with the knowledge and skills of the Internet technology for successful implementation. The primary purpose of this book is to provide, in a plain and simple style, suggestions and resources for those computer novices. This book intends to help and guide ESL/EFL teachers or students who want to facilitate teaching and learning through the Internet. Nevertheless, for better understanding, some basic knowledge about TESOL theories and practices are strongly recommended. To carry out the objectives mentioned above, practicality, feasibility, accessibility, versatility, and comprehension are the principles and guidelines for the composition of this book. The potential applications of the Internet are comprehensively covered and logically organized in different ESL/EFL skills or categories, that is, applications for oral or written communication, skills integration, and language assessment. The potential modes and tools are introduced and discussed as completely and comprehensively as possible. Most, if not all, of the models introduced in the book are workable and can readily be adopted or adapted. They are easily understood. They are available for immediate use. They are cost-effective and can be adopted with low expenditure. Those high cost applications mentioned in the book are mainly introduced as references. Most important of all, a sophisticated understanding of computers or network hardware is not required for using this book. The main body of this book is divided into ten chapters. In the first chapter, rationales for the applications of networked multimedia to TESOL are presented and explored. Nine reasons are pinpointed and discussed in this chapter. In Chapter Two, hardware and software required for successful application are introduced. Ten hardware and fifteen software requirements are listed and presented. Graphics are attached to some categories for better understanding. Chapter Three focuses on the applicable modes for ESL/EFL oral communication (listening and speaking) instruction. Nine practical and feasible tools are introduced to teachers and students. In Chapter Four, the applications of the Net to ESL/EFL written communication (reading and writing) instruction are described and explored. Five modes for ESL/EFL reading instruction and eight tools for written instruction are recommended. Chapter Five shifts the focus to the applications of the Internet to four-skills-integration (listening, speaking, reading, & writing). The implementation of content-based instruction, theme-based instruction, inquiry-based instruction, project-based learning, and collaborative/cooperative learning is separately explored and discussed. ESL/EFL assessment via the Internet is included and introduced in the sixth chapter. Computer-based testing (both adaptive and non-adaptive), online grading, online test-item generator, and electronic portfolio are dealt with in this chapter. In Chapter Seven, guidelines for screen design are presented. This chapter is intended to help those ESL/EFL teachers who want to integrate computer-based, instructional media to assist or enhance their presentations and to motivate their students. In the eighth chapter, applications of web-based TESOL are discussed. Ideas and guidelines about applying personal homepage to TESOL are recommended in this chapter. In Chapter Nine, challenges, actions, and resources for e-TESOL are presented. The Web resources introduced in this chapter are grouped under the categories of miscellany, conversation, listening, reading, writing, etc. It is hoped that ESL/EFL teachers and students can determine and identify what they need immediately and easily. The last chapter, Chapter Ten, deals with computer protection and Internet security. Several free antivirus programs, anti-Spyware software, firewalls, and password managers are introduced and recommended. Signs of Internet risks and safety tips are also pinpointed and suggested for parents and ESL/EFL teachers to promote smoother and more positive e-TESOL. In addition, several topics or questions are posed at the end of each chapter to facilitate better understanding and elicit further discussion and action. These topics or questions are all open-ended and are designed to stimulate readers’curiosity and creativity. An index is attached at the end of the book for users to explore and search for appropriate topics conveniently. Finally, the development of the Internet technology is surprisingly fast and sometimes dramatically unpredictable. Although the author has done his best to include all the potential tools and modes for e-TESOL as comprehensively as possible, there will be possibly some left out. Undoubtedly, there will be readers who would not totally accept the recommendations. The description of the applications is, as it must be, a product of the author’s personal experience and inquiry. Suggestions and correction are sincerely welcome. Readers may visit the e-TESOL blog created by the author at (http://e-tesol.blogspot.com/) to share reflections. It is strongly hoped that this volume will both inform and stimulate its readers and that it will encourage ESL/EFL teachers and students to experiment with the tools—to try them again and again, observe the consequences, make adjustments, and share the experiences.
