EVOLVED INTO CELLPHONES
NEGATIVES
NO WAY TO SEE NON-VERBALS
7. COMPUTER-MEDIATED COMMUNICATION
Positives
FIRST INVENTED BY IBM IN 1940
THOMAS WATSON THOUGHT THERE WOULD ONLY NEED TO BE 5 COMPUTERS THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD WOULD NEED
IN THE 1970S THOUSANDS OF HOUSEHOULDS HAD COMPUTERS
75% OF PEOPLE NOW USE THE INTERNET AND HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS HAVE PERSONAL COMPUTERS
Negatives
Some functions have no paper trail, i.e. email
8. Electronic Conferencing
Teleconferencing: a term that describes the discussion among people who are geographically separated.
Different types include:
Audio conferencing
Computer conferencing
Video conferencing
9. Interconnected Communication Technologies
Extension and convergence of technologies already present.
These technologies interconnect various devices to each other and to the internet so users dont have to independently configure each new system.
10. 11. Controversies about Personal and Social Media
How do computer technologies affect thinking?
How do online communities affect social relations?
Do newer technologies increase productivity?
12. How Do Computer Technologies Affect Thinking
Encourage multitasking
Encourage response to visual stimuli
Discourage independent, critical thinking
13. Multitasking
Engaging in multiple tasks simultaneously or in rapid sequence in overlapping and interactive ways
Computers facilitated multitasking, but is no longer limited to computer usage
14. Can We Multitask?
Ironically, computers do not multitask
A computer executes each operation individually in sequence at a very rapid pace
Because a computer gives its full attention to a single task at a time, it does the task with great accuracy
15. Downsides of Multitasking
Adults who shift between two tasks take longer to do both tasks and make more mistakes
Since you pay attention to several things at once, you dont go into any one thing in depth
16. Downsides of Multitasking
Multitasking can make us feel rushed, hurried, always needing to check our email, texts, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
17. FYI: Drvngwhltxtng (326)
Talking on a cell phone was no different than talking to a passenger
Then safe to drive with hands-free set
Now everything is dangerous
Phone conversations are the most distracting activity
18. Encourages Response to Visual Stimuli
We rely on screens to read text messages and to communicate online
Thus, computers teach us to expect new stimuli continuously
We learn to response to dazzling and vibrant graphics
19. 20. PowerPoint
Utilized by this and several other groups to present information
Gives the impression that bullets are equivalent to clear thinking
Before we have time to analyze the relationship between bullet and main points
21. PowerPoint
The slide changes, and we now concentrate on the new set of bullets
22. PowerPoint
PowerPoints emphasis on quick, visually striking presentation of information doesnt encourage analytical or integrative thinking about the actual content
23. Discourage Independent Critical Thinking
Make it easy to rely on external authorities
Undermine imaginative thought
Discourage independent thought
24. External Authorities
Spell check on your PC
Many people now do not know proper grammar, syntax, and punctuation
25. Spell Check
I have a spelling checkerIt came with my PCIt highlights for my reviewMistakes I cannot sea.I ran this poem thru itI'm sure your pleased to noIts letter perfect in it's weighMy checker told me sew.
26. Auto Correct
27. FYI: Why Things Fight Back (328)
Do you know all the phone numbers of people you regularly call, or are you stored in your cell?
When is the last time you saw a cashier compute change without relying on the register?
Is the schedule for the next two days in your memory or on your PDA calendar?
28. Imaginative Thought
Relying on technology for engagement may undermine imaginative thought and sustained mental focus
Cognitive specialists believe a childs imagination develops when they learn to talk
Children build imagination by using words to create make believe situations and invisible playmates and by collaborating with other children in play
29. Less Imagination
Characters on TV and video games are already made and the actions are pre-structured
Children are required to use a lot less imagination
Research shows that imaginative play is linked to higher scores on tests of creativity and problem-solving
30. Less Independent Thinking
Access to infinite information creates lack of any real authority
Fail to make reasoned judgments about which opinions are really supported and good
31. Traditional Communities
Traditional Community
People with similar interests living in a particular area, close enough to interact on a daily basis
A group of people with a common characteristic or interest living together within a larger society
A body of persons or nations having a common history or common social, economic, and political interest
Do you consider a virtual online community the same as a traditional community?
32. Virtual Communities
Allow us to connect with anyone who is also a part of that specific community
PROS
Dont need to compromise or make accommodations-stay out of topics you arent interested in
Visit the community whenever and where ever you are
Not responsible to adapt to tough/awkward situations
Ability to be accepted for who you are
33. Virtual Communities
CONS
Dont learn to adapt to situationsno log-off button in real life confrontations
Lack of personal identity
Becomes harder to develop an authentic self and share genuine feelings
Healthy way to learn who you really are.
Misleading characters
34. 35. Increase in Productivity?
Depends, sometimes yes, sometimes no
IRS spent $50 million on new systems for the agents, 40% decline in productivity in return
Word processors help us to be more productive with our work by catching mistakesto a point
Electronic entertainment doesnt help everyone, including myself
36. 37. Guidelines for Media
Guideline #1-Consciously Managing Information Flow
Between 1970 and 2000
Our access to information Is almost limitless, but does that necessarily mean we are more knowledgeable?
Information is the detailsknowledge is being able to put the details together and draw a clear conclusionPhilosopher David Rothenberg
38. Guidelines for Media
Guideline #1-Consciously Managing Information Flow
Between 1970 and 2000
Our access to information Is almost limitless, but does that necessarily mean we are more knowledgeable?
Information is the detailsknowledge is being able to put the details together and draw a clear conclusionPhilosopher David Rothenberg
39. Information Overload
Irony of tech giant research on coping with information overload and stress
Interruptions and switching between tasks shortens attention spans and decreases productivity-businesses $650 million annually
W.O.W.30 million hours each day-equivalent of $587 million production loss
40. 41. FYI: Who Would You Become? (334)
Amish determine their electronic needs through their set principles and values, not on the Jones
What would life be like without modern technology?
42. Regulating Communication Technologies
Guideline #2-Regulating Communication Technologies
Who should control the internet?
Microsoft issue
Getting what you want on the Web, and what you dont want
Network providers functioning as gatekeepers
Cookies, spyware, & hackers
43. FYI: Sexting (335)
Once the message is sent, it exists and may resurface at any time such as when a potential employer does an online search of an interviewee
Felony charges
44. FYI: Cyberhate (336)
Online communities specializing in hate speech encouraging negative feelings towards particular groups or cultures
