Few developments have had broader consequences for the public sector than the introduction of the Internet and digital technology. In this book, Darrell West discusses how new technology is altering ...governmental performance, the political process, and democracy itself by improving government responsiveness and increasing information available to citizens.
Using multiple methods--case studies, content analysis of over 17,000 government Web sites, public and bureaucrat opinion survey data, an e-mail responsiveness test, budget data, and aggregate analysis--the author presents the most comprehensive study of electronic government ever undertaken. Among other topics, he looks at how much change has taken place in the public sector, what determines the speed and breadth of e-government adoption, and what the consequences of digital technology are for the public sector.
Written in a clear and analytical manner, this book outlines the variety of factors that have restricted the ability of policy makers to make effective use of new technology. Although digital government offers the potential for revolutionary change, social, political, and economic forces constrain the scope of transformation and prevent government officials from realizing the full benefits of interactive technology.
How are families responding to the challenges of parenting young people in the digital age? This book draws on in-depth interviews with families from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds in order to ...trace the difference that social class makes in how families are making decisions about digital and mobile media use. This book finds that upper income families employ an ethic of expressive empowerment, in which parents encourage their children to use these media in relation to education and self-development and to avoid use that might distract them from goals of achievement. Lower income families, in contrast, embrace an ethic of respectful connectedness, in which family members are encouraged to use digital and mobile media in ways that are respectful, compliant toward parents, and family focused. Each approach has its own benefits and drawbacks, as upper income families are increasingly tempted to employ communication technologies in helicopter and surveillance parenting, and lower income families may use technologies in ways that strengthen interfamilial and neighborhood bonds while inadvertently reinforcing social isolation from other groups. The book challenges the hope that digital and mobile media might assist in bridging cultural and economic divides. It concludes that as U.S. families experience lives that are increasingly isolated from those whose economic circumstances differ from their own, the different roles that digital and mobile media are playing in family lives are reinforcing rather than alleviating what continues to be a troubling economic and social gap in U.S. society.

An exploration of the modalities, affective intensities, and disturbing qualities of online pornography.
Digital production tools and online networks have dramatically increased the general ...visibility, accessibility, and diversity of pornography. Porn can be accessed for free, anonymously, and in a seemingly endless range of niches, styles, and formats. In Carnal Resonance, Susanna Paasonen moves beyond the usual debates over the legal, political, and moral aspects of pornography to address online porn in a media historical framework, investigating its modalities, its affect, and its visceral and disturbing qualities. Countering theorizations of pornography as emotionless, affectless, detached, and cold, Paasonen addresses experiences of porn largely through the notion of affect as gut reactions, intensities of experience, bodily sensations, resonances, and ambiguous feelings. She links these investigations to considerations of methodology (ways of theorizing and analyzing online porn and affect), questions of materiality (bodies, technologies, and inscriptions), and the evolution of online pornography.
Paasonen dicusses the development of online porn, focusing on the figure of the porn consumer, and considers user-generated content and amateur porn. She maps out the modality of online porn as hyperbolic, excessive, stylized, and repetitive, arguing that literal readings of the genre misunderstand its dynamics and appeal. And she analyzes viral videos and extreme and shock pornogaphy, arguing for the centrality of disgust and shame in the affective dynamics of porn. Paasonen's analysis makes clear the crucial role of media technologies—digital production tools and networked communications in particular—in the forms that porn takes, the resonances it stirs, and the experiences it makes possible.
This Special Issue presents some of the main emerging research on technological topics of health and education approaches to Internet use-related problems, before and during the beginning of ...coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The objective is to provide an overview to facilitate a comprehensive and practical approach to these new trends to promote research, interventions, education, and prevention. It contains 40 papers, four reviews and thirty-five empirical papers and an editorial introducing everything in a rapid review format. Overall, the empirical ones are of a relational type, associating specific behavioral addictive problems with individual factors, and a few with contextual factors, generally in adult populations. Many have adapted scales to measure these problems, and a few cover experiments and mixed methods studies. The reviews tend to be about the concepts and measures of these problems, intervention options, and prevention. In summary, it seems that these are a global culture trend impacting health and educational domains. Internet use-related addiction problems have emerged in almost all societies, and strategies to cope with them are under development to offer solutions to these contemporary challenges, especially during the pandemic situation that has highlighted the global health problems that we have, and how to holistically tackle them.
O presente resumo propõe-se a discutir as tecnologias digitais no mundo contemporâneo, seu uso e alguns pontos de atenção devido ao imperativo atual de se estar em constante interação digital, ...compartilhando informações a todo momento, como fotos, comentários e opiniões, comprando ou pagando contas. A metodologia é de cunho bibliográfico, amparada nos Estudos Culturais e Educação. Nesse sentido, a discussão parte do conceito de Homos oeconomicus acessibilis, defendida por Saraiva e Loureiro (2017). Segundo as autoras, esse novo sujeito é alguém governado e controlado por meio da sua própria liberdade de navegação na internet. Também é usado o conceito de governamento de Foucault (1999), como novas estratégias de poder menos visíveis, mais complexas e sutis. No mesmo caminho dessa discussão quanto aos tensionamentos provocados pelo mundo digital, são apresentadas as ideias de Morozov no vídeo “Será que a internet é o que Orwell temia?”. A partir dessas reflexões, constata-se que o terreno da internet é cheio de tensionamento e um lugar movediço. Nele se é mais do que controlado: é um lugar de invasão em que se privatiza o comum e se assujeitam os indivíduos. Assim, não basta apenas ampliar o acesso de forma democrática; seria necessário instrumentalizar os indivíduos quanto ao funcionamento da internet e possibilitar a sua participação política efetiva nessa esfera.
This article re-examines the popular concept of Internet addiction, discusses the key problems associated with it, and proposes possible alternatives. The concept of Internet addiction is inadequate ...for several reasons. Addiction may be a correct designation only for the minority of individuals who meet the general criteria for addiction, and it needs to be better demarcated from various patterns of excessive or abnormal use. Addiction to the Internet as a medium does not exist, although the Internet as a medium may play an important role in making some behaviors addictive. The Internet can no longer be separated from other potentially overused media, such as text messaging and gaming platforms. Internet addiction is conceptually too heterogeneous because it pertains to a variety of very different behaviors. Internet addiction should be replaced by terms that refer to the specific behaviors (eg, gaming, gambling, or sexual activity), regardless of whether these are performed online or offline.
La tecnología digital en red integra las prácticas culturales de la sociedad del siglo XXI, el funcionamiento de los estados, la política y la forma en que nos relacionamos con el mundo. “Internet es ...el tejido de nuestras vidas. Podría compararse tanto con una red eléctrica como con un motor eléctrico, en su capacidad de distribuir el poder de la información en todo el ámbito de la actividad humana” (Castells, 2003). La producción audiovisual no es ajena a esta tecnología digital online, al contrario, a través de ella absorbe elementos estéticos interactivos y da lugar a otros formatos narrativos. El espacio de la narrativa moderna es reemplazado por una narrativa continua e ininterrumpida, los límites entre autor y audiencia se reconfiguran en nuevas dimensiones interactivas. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el documental interactivo como un género audiovisual que emerge en una cultura digital, híbrida y fluida. Documentales interactivos, I-docs, webdoc, factuales interactivos, documental ampliado, documental transmedia son algunos de los nombres que se utilizan para referirse a este nuevo género audiovisual que mezcla características de Internet y del género documental. A partir de una investigación bibliográfica sobre la naturaleza de este género interactivo y de proyectos documentales web, repasamos sus principales características y su desarrollo actual.
