Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Webcam Revelations is a true story about a domineering and oppressive mother who controlled her children, adult grandchildren, work associates, and anyone that could enhance her social and financial status. This mother was relentless and showed no mercy to the ones she used and left behind. Even as the mother started declining, she wanted full-time monitoring of her actions while sleeping to make sure she would not die in her sleep. Without the use of her legs and one arm that were paralyzed in a massive stroke, she was still able to keep control of it all by the webcam. Little did she know that it would all come out and her true self would be revealed because of a final stroke that took her mind. The ones who agreed to help this mother stay alive were dying off themselves, and the ones who were alive were becoming crippled and disabled from this mother's twenty-four-hour, seven-days-a-week monitoring. It was a never-ending nightmare.

Download or read book Webcam written by Daniel Miller and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-03-12 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of webcam, especially through Skype, has recently become established as one more standard media technology, but so far there has been no attempt to assess its fundamental nature and consequences. Yet webcam has profound implications for many facets of human life, from self-consciousness and intimacy to the sustaining of long-distance relationships and the place of the visual within social communications. Based on research in London and Trinidad, this book shows how 'always-on' webcam is becoming an entirely different phenomenon from the initial use of webcam as a videophone. Webcam is examined within the framework of 'polymedia' - that is, the new environments created by the simultaneous presence of a multiplicity of communication technologies - and used to exemplify a theory of attainment that accepts media technologies as aspects of, rather than detracting from, our basic humanity.
Book Synopsis The Pawns of Prophecy by : M. Stoppa
Download or read book The Pawns of Prophecy written by M. Stoppa and published by M. C. Stoppa. This book was released on 2010-09-22 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Please note: The book you see here is not "The PawN of Prophecy" by David Eddings -- a wonderful fantasy novel set in ancient times -- instead this book is a fictional thriller based on The Book of Revelations and set in modern times).DESCRIPTION:The year is 2012. Doomsday Prophets again proclaim End of the World -- yet this time they may be correct - for as 2012 unfolds the disastrous events of The Book of Revelations finally begin to occur!And so the world wonders -- is there any hope?The answer is YES - and one man holds the key for saving us... Amazingly, St. John the Apostle is still alive in 2012 - having been blessed with the Gift of Immortality so that he could survive to fight the coming of The Antichrist. There's just one problem - over the course of the last 2,000 years, John has lost his faith. Now a crotchety old man who lives in upstate NY, John is still tormented by 'revelations' he cannot escape, and with nothing but time on his hands, he's taken up a few new hobbies: drinking craft beers, watching baseball, and listening to country music. Unfortunately for John (and the rest of us), NOW is the time when The Antichrist is rising to power. Only John can save us, but will he recover his faith in time to stop Armageddon or will Satan's Son achieve Ultimate Victory? "The Pawns of Prophecy" has been hailed by some as "The Christian Da Vinci Code" while others have called it "outrageous blasphemy." It's a fast-paced thriller based on The Book of Revelations, 2012 theories, and (allegedly) author-interviews of St John himself, and it will keep you guessing until the very end. Inherently controversial -- of which any Doomsday Scenario would be - "The Pawns of Prophecy" pushes the limits of contention, with references that the Nails used to crucify Jesus Christ may still exist, that the Pope may be involved in various secret societies in support of The Antichrist (or even that he IS the Antichrist), and that certain characters from the Bible may still be alive today but are now far different than you remember them. Intended for Christians AND non-Christians alike, it's perfect for anyone who enjoys suspense novels, conspiracy theories, and alternate histories. Is YOUR faith strong enough to read it?(NOTE: This book is available in the following formats: trade paperback, E-Book Full Version, or E-Book 4-Part Serial Version).
Book Synopsis Strategic Uses of Social Technology by : Zachary Birchmeier
Download or read book Strategic Uses of Social Technology written by Zachary Birchmeier and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-22 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On an everyday basis, we communicate with one another using various technological media, such as text messaging, social networking tools, and electronic mail, in work, educational, and personal settings. As a consequence of the increasing frequency of use and importance of computer-supported interaction, social scientists in particular have heeded the call to understand the social processes involved in such interactions. In this volume, the editors explore how aspects of a situation interact with characteristics of a person to help explain our technologically supported social interactions. The person-by-situation interaction perspective recognizes the powerful role of the situation and social forces on behavior, thought, and emotion, but also acknowledges the importance of person variables in explaining social interaction, including power and gender, social influence, truth and deception, ostracism, and leadership. This important study is of great relevance to modern readers, who are more and more frequently using technology to communicate with one another.
Book Synopsis Shakespeare and Girls’ Studies by : Ariane M. Balizet
Download or read book Shakespeare and Girls’ Studies written by Ariane M. Balizet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modern-day Taming of the Shrew that concludes at a high school prom. An agoraphobic Olivia from Twelfth Night sending video dispatches from her bedroom. A time-traveling teenager finding romance in the house of Capulet. Shakespeare and Girls’ Studies posits that Shakespeare in popular culture is increasingly becoming the domain of the adolescent girl, and engages the interdisciplinary field of Girls’ Studies to analyze adaptation and appropriation of Shakespeare’s plays in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Through chapters on film, television, young adult fiction, and web series aimed at girl readers and audiences, this volume explores the impact of girl cultures and concerns on Shakespeare’s afterlife in popular culture and the classroom. Shakespeare and Girls’ Studies argues that girls hold a central place in Shakespearean adaptation, and that studying Shakespeare through the lens of contemporary girlhoods can generate new approaches to Renaissance literature as well as popular culture aimed at girls and young people of marginalized genders. Drawing on contemporary cultural discourses ranging from Abstinence-Only Sex Education and Shakespeare in the US Common Core to rape culture and coming out, this book addresses the overlap between Shakespeare’s timeless girl heroines and modern popular cultures that embrace figures like Juliet and Ophelia to understand and validate the experiences of girls. Shakespeare and Girls’ Studies theorizes Shakespeare’s past and present cultural authority as part of an intersectional approach to adaptation in popular culture.
Download or read book Calling Family written by Tanja Ahlin and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-11 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do digital technologies shape both how people care for each other and, through that, who they are? With technological innovation is on the rise and increasing migration introducing vast distances between family members--a situation additionally complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the requirements of physical distancing, especially for the most vulnerable – older adults--this is a pertinent question. Through ethnographic fieldwork among families of migrating nurses from Kerala, India, Tanja Ahlin explores how digital technologies shape elder care when adult children and their aging parents live far apart. Coming from a country in which appropriate elder care is closely associated with co-residence, these families tinker with smartphones and social media to establish how care at a distance can and should be done to be considered good. Through the notion of transnational care collectives, Calling Family uncovers the subtle workings of digital technologies on care across countries and continents when being physically together is not feasible. Calling Family provides a better understanding of technological relationality that can only be expected to further intensify in the future.
Book Synopsis Multimodality and Translanguaging in Video Interactions by : Maria Grazia Sindoni
Download or read book Multimodality and Translanguaging in Video Interactions written by Maria Grazia Sindoni and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-12-21 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Element presents and critically discusses video-mediated communication by combining theories and empirical methods of multimodal studies and translanguaging. Since Covid-19 gained momentum, video-based interactions have become more and more ingrained in private and public lives and to the point of being fully incorporated in a wide range of community practices in personal, work and educational environments. The meaning making of video communication results from the complex, situationally based and culturally influenced and interlaced components of different semiotic resources and practices. These include the use of speech, writing, translingual practices, gaze behaviour, proxemics and kinesics patterns, as well as forms of embodied interaction. The Element aims at unpacking these resources and at interpreting how they make meanings to improve and encourage active and responsible participation in the current digital scenarios.
Book Synopsis How to Photograph the Moon and Planets with Your Digital Camera by : Tony Buick
Download or read book How to Photograph the Moon and Planets with Your Digital Camera written by Tony Buick and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-01-25 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although astronomical CCD cameras can be very costly, digital cameras – the kind you use on holiday – on the other hand, are relatively inexpensive. Moreover, their technology – especially thermal noise, sensitivity (ISO number) and resolution – has progressed to a point where such cameras are more than capable of photographing the brighter astronomical objects. Now Tony Buick has teamed up with fellow author and astro imager Phil Pugh, to produce a completely revised, updated, and extended second edition to How to Photograph the Moon and Planets with your Digital Camera, first published in 2006. The revisions take into account changing (and improving) camera technology, and some items which are now available commercially but which previously had to be home-made. The section of solar observing has been expanded to include observing by H-alpha light, and among the many additional sections are photographing the constellations, aurorae, and basic post-imaging processing.
Book Synopsis The Rise of the Creative Class by : Richard Florida
Download or read book The Rise of the Creative Class written by Richard Florida and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned urbanist Richard Florida's bestselling classic on the transformation of our cities in the twenty-first century -- now updated with a new preface In his modern classic The Rise of the Creative Class, urbanist Richard Florida identifies the emergence of a new social class reshaping the twenty-first century's economy, geography, and workplace. This Creative Class is made up of engineers and managers, academics and musicians, researchers, designers, entrepreneurs and lawyers, poets and programmer, whose work turns on the creation of new forms. Increasingly, Florida observes, this Creative Class determines how workplaces are organized, which companies prosper or go bankrupt, and which cities thrive, stagnate or decline. Florida offers a detailed occupational, demographic, psychological, and economic profile of the Creative Class, examines its global impact, and explores the factors that shape "quality of place" in our changing cities and suburbs. Now updated with a new preface that considers the latest developments in our changing cities, The Rise of the Creative Class is the definitive edition of this foundational book on our contemporary economy.
Book Synopsis The Rise of the Creative Class--Revisited by : Richard Florida
Download or read book The Rise of the Creative Class--Revisited written by Richard Florida and published by Basic Books (AZ). This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initially published in 2002, The Rise of the Creative Class quickly achieved classic status for its identification of forces then only beginning to reshape our economy, geography, and workplace. Weaving story-telling with original research, Richard Florida identified a fundamental shift linking a host of seemingly unrelated changes in American society: the growing importance of creativity in people’s work lives and the emergence of a class of people unified by their engagement in creative work. Millions of us were beginning to work and live much as creative types like artists and scientists always had, Florida observed, and this Creative Class was determining how the workplace was organized, what companies would prosper or go bankrupt, and even which cities would thrive. In The Rise of the Creative Class Revisited, Florida further refines his occupational, demographic, psychological, and economic profile of the Creative Class, incorporates a decade of research, and adds five new chapters covering the global effects of the Creative Class and exploring the factors that shape “quality of place” in our changing cities and suburbs.
Book Synopsis Shakespeare and YouTube by : Stephen O'Neill
Download or read book Shakespeare and YouTube written by Stephen O'Neill and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The video-sharing platform YouTube signals exciting opportunities and challenges for Shakespeare studies. As patron, distributor and archive, YouTube occasions new forms of user-generated Shakespeares, yet a reduced Bard too, subject to the distractions of the contemporary networked mediascape. This book identifies the genres of YouTube Shakespeare, interpreting them through theories of remediation and media convergence and as indices of Shakespeare's shifting cultural meanings. Exploring the intersection of YouTube's participatory culture – its invitation to 'Broadcast Yourself' – with its corporate logic, the book argues that YouTube Shakespeare is a site of productive tension between new forms of self-expression and the homogenizing effects of mass culture. Stephen O'Neill unfolds the range of YouTube's Bardic productions to elaborate on their potential as teaching and learning resources. The book importantly argues for a critical media literacy, one that attends to identity constructions and to the politics of race and gender as they emerge through Shakespeare's new media forms. Shakespeare and YouTube will be of interest to students and scholars of Shakespearean drama, poetry and adaptations, as well as to new media studies.
