Attention Economy

Attention Economy?
I did "Google'd" it and found this thorough GitBook:
Decentralised Attention Economies for Web 3.0 by Maciejolpinski (updated two years ago)

Tristan Harris has this to say:

E-nvironmentalist has two domains (natural & digital) and two authors (Alex Beattie & John Lang); it is definitely worth a look if you ask me. If only for the impressive user interface and well done integration of topics and gaphics.

Reflections & Excerpts

Finishing my degree with independent studies, satisfying remaining electives, was a great opportunity to apply and synthesize my learning throughout the Masters of Social Work (MSW) program. My proposed studies were both focused on the intersection of social work and new technology. In light of choosing the concentration in Policy/Planning, Administration, and Community (PAC) and my interests in new technologies and social media, I wanted to consider macro implications and innovations. Below are some excerpts from the cumulative paper I wrote for my independent studies. Introduction New technologies actively change the face of social work research, education, and practice. In fact, in the United States, there are few societal domains untouched by the information age and digital revolution, which is regularly redefined by emergent technologies. Social media and apps (which intertwine with the devices that animate them) are particularly disruptive innovations that both advance the fi...

"Death & Grief in the Digital Age" from Social Work Podcast

The Social Work Podcast is a wealth of information. In particular, I'd like to draw attention to their February podcast on Death and Grief in the Digital Age: Interview with Carla Sofka, Ph.D. There are a number of points I'd like to spend time with and highlight in this post, as per usual this post is initially in a "notes to self" kind of form... To be updated in hopes it proves useful to others. Consider: Technological advanced directives and digital dust Just as there is sex education in schools, consider death education (see: Tu Nudito ) Dr. Sofka "also recommends including technology assessment in the standard biopsychosocialspiritual assessment" Ding, ding, ding, all these comments excited me as they rang so true... I've been thinking along the same lines for some time now and it's awesome to hear others feel the same. Below is a rough sketch of just such an assessment, I had the idea several months ago and just began actually wri...

Serendipity & Favorable Aspects of Facebook

This past weekend I had a fortuitous interaction with Limell Lawson outside of a grocery store. I met Limell in 2007 when working at the University of Arizona’s Office of Student Computing Resources (OSCR) as a Multimedia Consultant; she was the Senior Director for University Information Technologies Services (OSCR’s parent department). After I mentioned that my current research focus is on social implications of new technology and namely social media, Limell offered some timely considerations for me. She remarked on the positive opportunities that Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) provide individuals with disabilities and refugees/immigrants. Also, because of ICTs like Facebook, she has been able to enjoy some participation in important family events that she could not attend due to serious injuries incurred from a car accident. Upon further communications (via Facebook Messenger), Limell pointed out that in addition to social networks such as Facebook, gaming pla...
