Beyond good and evil: The impact of digital environment in family life

2019

Internet has changed the way we interact with others and has become an essential tool for daily activities. Children and adolescents are the main users of new digital technologies and their first contact with a screen happens increasingly earlier in life. Its premature use can be dangerous: technology represents a “supernormal stimulus” that can act on the brain reward circuit and affect neural development. In this article we describe the effects of technology on the brain, well-being, social and family relationships, highlighting both positive and negative ones: rather than defining a priori any type of technology as “good” or “bad”, we should consider how specific applications are used in…

Imperfections in Our Future

2018

Abstract Our future is polarized and unpredictable and means progress as this regards the evolution of technology that may bring about the union between man and machine as far as the present technological environment is enlarging. But, until then we have to face imperfections that are synonymous with the problems that affect humanity: aggression against some states, conflicts that need to be settled, discrepancy between the rich and the poor, the positive and negative influences of the internet, CO2 emissions in developed countries, redirecting towards markets with lower risk potential, even the battle with death. And, unfortunately we have the alienation of the modern man in a breakable wo…

Intermediaries: bridges across the digital divide

2012

The challenge of bringing developing countries into the “information society” has been traditionally framed as bridging the digital divide. Meeting this challenge has predominantly been through technical solutions aimed at providing physical access to the Internet. Yet, other aspects of the divide such as low literacy rates, gender and religious issues arguably pose bigger hurdles in getting the benefits of the Internet to the vast majority of the population of developing countries. They are seldom aware of the information available on the net and even when they are, they have difficulty using it. To facilitate access and use of the Internet by the population, an intermediary is often neede…

Learning through video blogs

2019

Previous research have found evidences of both, low traditional literacy skills (e.g. reading) and low digital literacy skills (computers and Internet skills) in the population of young students with intellectual disabilities ID). The main goal of this study was to test if learning content in the Internet was enhanced or interfered by video blog presentation mode for this population. In particular, we explored the metacognitive deficit hypothesis by Ackerman & Goldsmith [1] which predicts that a) monitoring accuracy (difference between predicted and actual comprehension) will be lower in videos than in texts; b) restudy decisions will be more efficient in the text medium (i.e. higher restud…
