Abstract

Das Internet ist im Alltag angekommen. Die hier versammelten 14 Studien belegen dies eindeutig. Je nach Lebenswelt und Habitus schreiben die Nutzer dem Internet aber einen unterschiedlichen "praktischen Sinn" zu: Jugendliche suchen online nach ihrer Identität, Computerspieler nach Wettkampf, Spiegel Online-Leser nach einem Meinungsmacher und Arbeitslose nach Selbstbestätigung. Während eine umfassende qualitative Studie (Basis: 102 Deutsche ab 14 Jahren) ganz allgemein nach dem Internet "im Alltag" fragt, beschäftigen sich die anderen Beiträge entweder mit unterschiedlichen Lebenswelten (Kinder, Jugendliche, Studenten, junge Mütter, Homosexuelle und Arbeitslose) oder mit speziellen Internetangeboten (StudiVZ, süddeutsche.de, Spiegel Online, Twitter, Blogs, World of Warcraft und Counterstrike). Theoretische Klammer ist das Habitus-Kapital-Konzept von Bourdieu.

Abstract

Aimed at information and communication professionals, scholars and students, Google and the Digital Divide: The Biases of Online Knowledge provides invaluable insight into the significant role that search engines play in growing the digital divide between individuals, organizations, and states. With a specific focus on Google, author Elad Segev explains the concept of the digital divide and the effects that today's online environment has on knowledge bias, power, and control. Using innovative methods and research approaches, Segev compares the popular search queries in Google and Yahoo in the United States and other countries and analyzes the various biases in Google News and Google Earth. Google and the Digital Divide shows the many ways in which users manipulate Google's information across different countries, as well as dataset and classification systems, economic and political value indexes, specific search indexes, locality of use indexes, and much more. Segev presents important new social and political perspectives to illustrate the challenges brought about by search engines, and explains the resultant political, communicative, commercial, and international implications.

Abstract

More objects and devices are connected to digital networks than ever before. Things - from your phone to your car, from the heating to the lights in your house - have gathered the ability to sense their environments and create information about what is happening. Things have become media, able to both generate and communicate information. This has become known as 'the internet of things'. In this accessible introduction, Graham Meikle and Mercedes Bunz observe its promises of convenience and the breaking of new frontiers in communication. They also raise urgent questions regarding ubiquitous surveillance and information security, as well as the transformation of intimate personal information into commercial data. Discussing the internet of things from a media and communication perspective, this book is an important resource for courses analysing the internet and society, and essential reading for anyone who wants to better understand the rapidly changing roles of our networked lives.
