The growth of the internet has been spectacular. There are now more 1.5 billion internet users across the globe, about one quarter of the world’s population. This is certainly a new phenomenon that is of enormous significance for the economic, political and social life of contemporary societies.

However, much popular and academic writing about the internet takes a technologically deterministic view, assuming that the internet’s potential will be realised in essentially transformative ways. This was especially true in the euphoric moment of the mid1990s, when many commentators wrote about the internet with awe and wonderment. While this moment may be over, its underlying technocentrism – the belief that technology determines outcomes – lingers on, and with it, a failure to understand the internet in its social, economic and political context.

Misunderstanding the Internet is a short introduction, encompassing the history, sociology, politics and economics of the internet and its impact on society. The book has a simple three part structure:
•Part 1 looks at the history of the internet, and offers an overview of the internet’s place in society
•Part 2 focuses on the control and economics of the internet
•Part 3 examines the internet’s political and cultural influence

Misunderstanding the Internet is a polemical, sociologically and historically informed textbook that aims to challenge both popular myths and existing academic orthodoxies around the internet.

Artificial Culture is an examination of the articulation, construction, and representation of "the artificial" in contemporary popular cultural texts, especially science fiction films and novels. The book argues that today we live in an artificial culture due to the deep and inextricable relationship between people, our bodies, and technology at large. While the artificial is often imagined as outside of the natural order and thus also beyond the realm of humanity, paradoxically, artificial concepts are simultaneously produced and constructed by human ideas and labor. The artificial can thus act as a boundary point against which we as a culture can measure what it means to be human. Science fiction feature films and novels, and other related media, frequently and provocatively deploy ideas of the artificial in ways which the lines between people, our bodies, spaces and culture more broadly blur and, at times, dissolve.

Building on the rich foundational work on the figures of the cyborg and posthuman, this book situates the artificial in similar terms, but from a nevertheless distinctly different viewpoint. After examining ideas of the artificial as deployed in film, novels and other digital contexts, this study concludes that we are now part of an artificial culture entailing a matrix which, rather than separating minds and bodies, or humanity and the digital, reinforces the symbiotic connection between identities, bodies, and technologies.

Es posible que toda generación se haya sentido única y trascendente a lo largo de la historia (presentismo, se denomina esa sensación). También que este libro navegue el mismo espejismo, que sea uno más de entre los que dibujan el camino hacia un mundo que el observador-escritor, con la obvia complicidad del lector, desea mejor… […]

En poc més d’un decenni, internet ha esdevingut un dels eixos centrals de la nostra vida laboral, social i fins i tot familiar. Llocs com Google, Viquipèdia, Facebook, Tuenti o Twitter i aparells com els telèfons intel•ligents o les tauletes tàctils no només han revolucionat la manera que tenim d’informar-nos i de comunicar-nos amb els altres, sinó que ens han fet plantejar nous dilemes ètics, al voltant de qüestions candents com la privacitat, la propietat intel•lectual, la protecció de menors… Com afecta la xarxa als nostres valors? En l’entorn virtual són vàlids els mateixos valors que seguim en el món real? Se n’estan creant de nous? N’hi ha que es troben en perill d’extinció? Josep Lluís Micó, periodista especialitzat en noves tecnologies, es planteja aquestes qüestions i ens obre el camí a la ciberètica del futur. Josep Lluís Micó, La Font de la Figuera, (València), 1974. És professor titular de la Universitat Ramon Llull, on dirigeix el Màster en Periodisme Avançat-Reporterisme Blanquerna-Grupo Godó. Ha treballat per a una desena de mitjans i actualment elabora anàlisis sobre comunicació i tecnologia a La Vanguardia i Diari de Girona, entre altres mitjans.

How do parents and children care for each other when they are separated because of migration? The way in which transnational families maintain long-distance relationships has been revolutionised by the emergence of new media such as email, instant messaging, social networking sites, webcam and texting. A migrant mother can now call and text her left-behind children several times a day, peruse social networking sites and leave the webcam for 12 hours achieving a sense of co-presence.

Drawing on a long-term ethnographic study of prolonged separation between migrant mothers and their children who remain in the Philippines, this book develops groundbreaking theory for understanding both new media and the nature of mediated relationships. It brings together the perspectives of both the mothers and children and shows how the very nature of family relationships is changing. New media, understood as an emerging environment of polymedia, have become integral to the way family relationships are enacted and experienced. The theory of polymedia extends beyond the poignant case study and is developed as a major contribution for understanding the interconnections between digital media and interpersonal relationships.

Prologar este libro supone, en primer lugar, realizar un recorrido por el trabajo que hacemos y hemos venido haciendo en la Coordinadora en el ámbito de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación. Me viene a la memoria el ya lejano año 1998 cuando comenzamos a programar una serie de cursos, que iban desde el manejo del correo electrónico hasta el diseño de una muy básica página web.

Entrando en el año 2100 aprendimos a utilizar el endemoniado lenguaje HTML y cuando exploramos en el “dreamweaver” pensamos que efectivamente al final del túnel había luz. Descubrimos que además existía algo llamado “gestor de contenidos”, que podíamos ser independientes, que no había que depender del técnico de turno para lanzar nuestros mensajes, y cuando lo llevamos a la práctica en una nueva web, propusimos que toda ella estuviera bajo la licencia pionera en la cultura libre “Creative Commons”, que surge como alternativa a las licencias clásicas englobadas en la expresión “todos los derechos reservados” y que no hacen más que limitar la difusión del conocimiento.

Estábamos ajustándonos al mundo 1.0 cuando el 2.0 apareció en avalancha en forma de blogs, herramientas de trabajo compartido, redes sociales…pero estas tecnologías lo que reflejaban era la búsqueda de aplicaciones para llevar a cabo un cambio de paradigma, un cambio de modelo comunicativo que apostara por la creación colectiva, por la participación para el cambio social.

Identifies the media's complicity in environmental pollution, illustrating how information technology contributes to the global ecological crisis
Lays out a plan for change and sustainability in various media industries
Examines hot-button issues such as global-warming, cellphone safety, and technological waste
You will never look at your cell phone, TV, or computer the same way after reading this book. Maxwell and Miller not only reveal the dirty secrets that hide inside our beloved electronics; they also take apart the myths that have pushed these gadgets to the center of our lives. With an astounding array of economic, environmental and historical facts, Greening the Media debunks the idea that information and communication technologies (ITC) are clean and ecologically benign. In this compassionate and sharply argued book, the authors show how the physical reality of making, consuming, and discarding them is rife with toxic ingredients, poisonous working conditions, and hazardous waste. But all is not lost. As the title suggests, Maxwell and Miller dwell critically on these environmental problems in order to think creatively about ways to solve them. They enlist a range of potential allies in this effort to foster greener media-from green consumers to green citizens, with stops along the way to hear from exploited workers, celebrities, and assorted bureaucrats. Maxwell and Miller rethink the status of print and screen technologies from a perspective unique in media studies, one that enables them to open new lines of historical and social analysis of ICT, consumer electronics, and media production. This original and highly readable book is for anyone who marvels at the high tech goodies surrounding us and wonders "How have they been made?," "By whom?," "Where?," and "Under what conditions?"
Readership: Readers of general interest periodicals like The Nation, NYROB; readers of journals like ISLE, Environmental History, Cinema Journal; students in courses on ecomedia, environmental justice.

As Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC) estão integrando o mundo em redes globais de comunicação. O uso das tecnologias no cotidiano faz surgir questionamentos e reflexões sobre sua contribuição ou/e influência na evolução social e educacional. O objetivo geral deste livro é identificar, via revisão sistemática, as concepções dos pesquisadores sobre as TIC no Ensino Superior e suas abordagens educativas. Como objetivos específicos, as autoras verificam como os docentes veem o uso pedagógico de tecnologias, indagam sobre a presença ou ausência de tecnologias nos processos pedagógicos de formação docente e investigam práticas pedagógicas à luz do uso de diferentes tecnologias no contexto escolar.

Què fan els nens petits amb els mitjans de comunicació i les TIC? Com van influir aquests aparells i la cultura audiovisual en la construcció de la identitat, els valors, el consum i el pensament infantil? I què podem fer els educadors davant dels desafiaments que ens van proposar aquesta cultura audiovisual, cada vegada més globalitzada, i una nova infància? En aquest llibre, adreçat al professorat d'educació infantil, analitzem aquestes i altres qüestions així com alguns casos de la vida real dels nens a les escoles que han motivat la reflexió teòrica i el desenvolupament d'experiències i bones pràctiques educatives per a un ús més crític i creatiu dels mitjans i les TIC a l'escola i a la llar.
