Mobile communications and loneliness

February 9, 2009 by timbatchelder, posted in Cognitive Science, Digital health, Ethnographic Methods, Knowledge Management, Linguistic Search, Network Science, Regenerative Economy, Security & Privacy

An article in Boston Globe magazine charts the curious trend away from real human interaction towards entirely digitally mediated ones and notes the importance of being “un reachable” at times which is becoming increasingly difficult, and of being able to tolerate being alone. In particular the article cites research by an NYU social scientist and a U Toronto information scientist that show the effects of widespread usage of mobile comms on our culture.

So for example Patientslikeme is now making possible users with health conditions to provide reports on conditions in a standardized manner which provides web based “user driven” trials that can quickly provide important feedback on therapies. Similarly Google can now beat CDC in predictive value for flu outbreaks. Read on…

NYU Stern | Department of Information, Operations, and Management Sciences.

Similar to NYU’s interactive media program, it also has what looks to be a very nice IS program which is well described on their site, unlike others which look like a Best Buy Geek Squad counter. Might be worth giving some examples to other sites using the course descriptions, student highlights etc. and what can be done with CIS.
