DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Love and peace driven by cross-cultural weddings and music like those of the Beatles and Pink Floyd of the ’60s is being forgotten in the Twitter and Facebook era of today. Good habits created through wisdom passed down by elders and extended families over breakfast and dinner are being taken over by bad habits being learned on the internet over those same meals. Special occasions like the 2020 Valentine’s Day was devoted to such extreme internet posts from White House to university students, instead of, say, addressing coronavirus or climate change that one can only wonder what medicine these people take and what is happening within their households and marriages today. The World Wide Web has become like the Wild West of western books. An equivalent of the coronavirus is also being spread through the internet. Besides affecting our mental health, it is also affecting our planet. What’s remarkable is not how much pollution went down during the pandemic lockdown, but how little. Other factors impacting climate change besides carbon emissions have been discussed in this book. Simulation involving additional households willing to do clinical-trial studies on a larger scale will be needed for the next phase. Diet, air-conditioning, and the internet may be the most neglected factors as climate change modelers attempt to figure out why events that were supposed to happen eighty years from 2008 are happening today. Besides improving health and wealth of individuals, organizations, and countries, the home-wellness program provided here can help achieve universal health-care coverage for a fraction of what it would cost today. It will also help reduce deficits and extend our planet’s life by another one hundred years. Drawing on Einstein’s famous e = mc2 equation, the book demonstrates how increase in economic stimulus (c2) is reducing the life (m) of our planet. Scientists and climate change experts are now saying the planet may have only twenty-five years remaining before it becomes uninhabitable. New cross-country models for driving change need. This can be done using 3P simplification for currency tracing for medical tourism. It needs to prevent another pandemic from happening again. It needs to be scalable for an Interstellar movie-type solution since our planet is dying.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This important volume reviews the history of the telecommunication superhighway pointing out its beginnings in the interactive TV and broadband highway of the wired cities more than two decades ago. It explains the technological uncertainties of the superhighway and many of its futuristic services, and also gives an understandable review of the technological principles behind today's modern telecommunication networks and systems. Recognizing that technology is only one factor in shaping the future, the author, a well-recognized telecommunications expert, analyzes the financial, policy, business, and consumer issues that undermine the superhighway. The book concludes by showing that today's switched telephone network and CATV systems already form a telecommunication superhighway carrying voice, data, image, and video communication for a wide variety of services that enable us to stay in contact with anyone anywhere on our planet. Highway of Dreams is written clearly with understandable explanations for nonspecialists. It challenges the technological utopia offered by the promoters of the superhighway and suggests that consumer needs, finance, corporate culture, and policy often have far greater impact on the future than technology alone.

New application areas will be added. Whereas the use of infonnation technology in the past decade has been concentrated primarily on business and public administration, in future the suppliers of infonnation technology will develop an increasing number of applications for the private household (see fig. 1).

New perspective on information technology This development has already generated considerable market dynamics. Latest forecasts for the USA suggest that by 1996 at the latest the private household will present greater sales potential for home computers than business and public administration. VI Preface Up to now the use of infonnation technology in the private household has not been regarded as highly significant by either business or science, even though PCs have become widespread in the private sphere. In the ESPRIT framework there have been individual projects dealing with home networks, and in a number of Asian and European countries, as well as America, experiments with interactive television are taking place. Internet and commercial online services are experiencing rapid growth. This application area for infonnation technology in the private household, which is generating increasing business attention, must also be the subject of appropriate research activities.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A sociological approach to understanding new media’s impact on society We use cell phones, computers, and tablets to access the Internet, read the news, watch television, chat with our friends, make our appointments, and post on social networking sites. New media provide the backdrop for most of our encounters. We swim in a technological world yet we rarely think about how new media potentially change the ways in which we interact with one another or shape how we live our lives. In New Media and Society, Deana Rohlinger provides a sociological approach to understanding how new media shape our interactions, our experiences, and our institutions. Using case studies and in-class exercises, Rohlinger explores how new media alter everything from our relationships with friends and family to our experiences in the workplace. Each chapter takes up a different topic – our sense of self and our relationships, education, religion, law, work, and politics – and assesses how new media alter our worlds as well as our expectations and experiences in institutional settings. Instead of arguing that these changes are “good” or “bad” for American society, the book uses sociological theory to challenge readers to think about the consequences of these changes, which typically have both positive and negative aspects. New Media and Society begins with a brief explanation of new media and social institutions, highlighting how sociologists understand complex, changing relationships. After outlining the influence of new media on our identities and relationships, it discusses the effects new media have on how we think about education, practice our religions, understand police surveillance, conceptualize work, and participate in politics. Each chapter includes key sociological concepts, engaging activities that illustrate the ideas covered in the chapter, as well as links, films, and references to additional online material.
