Nice slide presentation from the Pew Internet & American Life Project, about the evolution of the Web, with reference to social networks & issues related to libraries.
My personal highligths from this work:
- The turn from groups to social networks lays the basis for a new social operating system
- Being more civically engages on social networks helps building better communities
- Both volume and variety of information grow
- Venues of intersecting with information and peoplle multiply, and the availability of information expands to all hours of the day and all places we are
- The voice of information democratizes and the visibility of new creators is enhanced. Identity and privaty change
- Voting on and ventilating about information proliferates as tagging, rating, and commeting occurs and collective intelligence asserts itself
- The sense of time of “networked individuals” is oriented about “continuos partial attention”, & their sense of presence is about “absent presence”
