Information overload?

Alex Robinson — Tue, 14 May 2013 16:38:31 +0000

From reading emails to managing status updates on mobile devices 24/7 with an all-you-can-eat data plan – we are consuming information like never before.
Forget about describing bytes as mega and giga, think exa and zetta because by 2016 there may be the data equivalent of every movie ever made hurtling across the internet every three minutes.
While that may seem like way too much for a person to watch, an academic study by the University of California, San Diego, suggests that current data levels are the equivalent of each US citizen consuming 12 hours of information – or media – each day.

WHAT HAPPENS IN 60 SECONDS?
168 million emails sent
694,445 Google searches
695,000 Facebook status updates
370,000 Skype calls are made
98,000 tweets on Twitter
20,000 new posts on Tumblr
13,000 iPhone apps downloaded
6,600 new pictures on Flickr
1,500 new blog entries posted
600+ videos posted totalling over 25 hours duration on YouTube

“A lot of this is a user interface problem,” says author and New York Times journalist Nick Bilton.
“Things are designed to really grab your attention. When you get a text message, your phone vibrates, it dings, you have to respond to it.”
And what this means is that real life conversations are being interrupted by digital distractions.
Bilton added: “It’s like if I wanted to have a conversation with you and I zapped you with a taser and held a stop sign in front of your face.
“It wouldn’t be a nice way to talk to you.”

We must ask ourselves, “what are the social consequences of the digital age?”.

World’s first social media-driven lightshow.

This is just amazing!

Legendary athlete Daley Thompson has launched a lightshow on the London Eye which will be driven by Twitter users’ enthusiasm for the Olympics.

The landmark will be lit up each night of the Games in relation to positive or negative London 2012 comments on the social networking site.

EDF Energy, which sponsors the wheel, said it was the world’s first social media-driven lightshow.

The show will start at 21:00 BST each day of the Olympics and Paralympics.

The top sporting moments of the day will be projected using different coloured lights.

People are being encouraged to tweet their thoughts on London 2012 using #Energy2012.

Experts on “sentiment analysis” developed an intuitive algorithm for the effect, said EDF Energy.

Smartphone Security?

Alex Robinson — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 10:53:39 +0000

We all love our smartphones and tablets. And we all love those little mobile apps that make our devices so unique, useful, and fun. But have you ever thought about how safe they are? Should you trust your smartphone to shop online? Is it safe to access you bank account from your tablet? Is it ok to check your corporate email from your mobile phone? Should you trust the device manufacturer? Should you trust the app developer? Do you need mobile security software – as you know you do for your PC?

E Mail Marketing

Email marketing is one of the most effective marketing mediums of the digital age. There are numerous reasons for this such as its cost-effectiveness, measurability and its high response rates.

But, email marketing only works when it is implemented in the correct way and if the processes involved in launching a campaign is carefully managed. Conversely, when you disregard the rules of email marketing campaigns will not be as effective and customers are inconvenienced.

Spain’s unusual “convoy”

Alex Robinson — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 14:23:37 +0000

A convoy of self-driven cars has completed a 200km (125-mile) journey on a Spanish motorway, in the first public test of such vehicles.

The cars were wirelessly linked to each other and “mimicked” a lead vehicle, driven by a professional driver.

The so-called road train has been developed by Volvo. The firm is confident that they will be widely available in future.

The project aims to herald a new age of relaxed driving.

According to Volvo, drivers “can now work on their laptops, read a book or sit back and enjoy a relaxed lunch” while driving.

The road train test was carried out as part of a European Commission research project known as Sartre – Safe Road Trains for the Environment.

The convoy comprised three cars and one lorry.

I love technology when it makes our lives easier.
