数字化网络的涌现与人类新的主体性生成

广义的网络技术是与人的精神外化的各种调节过程密切联系的技术，它是一个从语言——文字到今天的计算机——互联网的人类文化沟通交往技术的复杂演进过程。数字化网络的技术基础是计算机技术、互联网技术以及虚拟现实技术。数字化网络既改变了人们接受、处理、发送信息的方式，也改变了信息本身的生产和存在方式；既拓展了人们的交往空间，也重新调整了人与人、人与社会乃至人与自然之间的关系。由数字化网络技术构建的网络社会，提供了一个超越现实社会种种局限、更加开放地进行自我呈现的生存空间，主体在自我呈现中重新建构和塑造自我。数字化网络技术改变了人类的思维方式，即由线性思维到非线性思维；数字化网络技术还改变了人类的行为方式，包括交往方式、生活方式、生产方式乃至教育和学习方式，所有这些，都是由人类心灵力量解放而释放出的空前生产能力。     

数字电视发展阻力分析与相关对策

我国数字电视的推广工作虽然已经取得了一定的阶段性成果，但遭遇阻力之大在全世界确实具有代表性。尽管我国广播电视行业已经探索出免费提供机顶盒、分时段逐小区关停模拟电视等有效措施并取得了不菲的成绩，但针对市场中存在的一些潜在阻力因素进行深入而全面的分析并提出解决问题的思路，仍然具有重大的现实意义。     

SNA视角下我国数字经济生产核算问题研究

我国尚未建立起数字经济生产核算体系,缺乏数字经济增加值等官方统计数据,不利于全面反映数字经济发展状况及制定相应政策。本文基于SNA 视角探究了我国数字经济生产核算相关问题,研究发现:数字经济发展离不开数字技术及其应用,不同阶段其内涵表现不同,相应生产核算范围既是对现有SNA 的延续,又具有一定的发展和突破;从核算目的、核算主体、核算客体和核算方法等要素看数字经济生产核算,既应与传统SNA 生产核算保持协调和遵循,又分别表现出其特殊之处;我国应分阶段推进数字经济生产核算实践,新生型数字经济可借助“三新”统计工作实施,融合型数字经济需借鉴R&D 核算制定专门的核算和调查制度。本文能够为我国统计部门开展数字经济生产核算工作和认知数字经济提供一定借鉴和参考。     

Investigating the Role of Internet Self-Efficacy in the Elderly's Learning of ICT in Hong Kong,China: A Two-Part Study

SUMMARY

This paper discusses the role of Internet self-efficacy and outcome expectations in the elderly's usage of the Internet through a two-part study. The researchers conducted this study by collaborating with three non-government organizations (NGOs) for which funding was received from one government unit and a large local charitable organization. A new theoretical model was developed to examine the influence of Internet self-efficacy and outcome expectations on usage intention and perceived user competence. Behavioral modeling training courses were offered to mature adults aged 50 and above in two separate studies over a year. Questionnaire surveys and cognitive knowledge assessments were conducted. In general, the findings in the two studies validated the impacts of Internet self-efficacy and outcome expectations on usage intention. Limitations and implications of this study are discussed.

Slicing the cake without baking it: Opportunistic platform entry strategies in digital markets

The growth of digital platforms relies on the generative nature of digital resources and platforms' openness to complementary innovation. These features often generate strong network effects and winner-take-all dynamics that protect incumbents from competition. However, under certain conditions, these same features render incumbent platforms vulnerable to competitive strategic moves via entrant platforms wherein the entrants can capture value and simultaneously avoid upfront investments in value creation. In this study, we identify three such strategies: platform exploitation, platform injection, and platform pacing. These strategies allow the entrant platform to capture value using the incumbent ecosystem's resources by copying parts of the resources (exploitation), by following the development cycle of key boundary resources (pacing), or by placing itself inside the platform (injection). In this study, we employ an interpretative cross-case synthesis to both theorize these strategies as a new category of opportunistic platform competition and to reveal their distinctive characteristics. Overall, the study demonstrates the potential for unconventional and opportunistic platform competition strategies that extend beyond more traditional ones, such as quality, variety, and network size.

Women's experiences of self-reporting health online prior to their first midwifery visit: A qualitative study

Background

Information and communication technologies are increasingly used in health care to meet demands of efficiency, safety and patient-centered care. At a large Danish regional hospital, women report their physical, mental health and personal needs prior to their first antenatal visit. Little is known about the process of self-reporting health, and how this information is managed during the client-professional meeting.

The identity curation game: digital inequality,identity work,and emotion management

ABSTRACT

The research examines an understudied facet of digital inequality: how digital inequality impacts identity work and emotion management. The analysis reveals how unequal access to digital resources shapes how well youths are able to play what I call the identity curation game. Digital resources determine youths’ ability to succeed in this game that is governed by three implicit rules: (1) constantly update or be sidelined, (2) engage in constant reciprocated identity-affirming interactions, and (3) maintain a strategy of vigilance to remove traces of failed identity performances. This article draws on Symbolic Interactionism and pays particular attention to Hochschild’s theory of emotion management. Drawing on these frameworks, the findings reveal how under-resourced youths experience connectivity gaps that disrupt their ability to play the identity curation game, as well as the resulting emotional consequences. Under-resourced youths manage distinctive negative emotions arising from connectivity gaps that hinder their digital identity work, as well as engaging in distinct kinds of suppressive work to police their own emotions including longing, envy, shame, frustration, and stigmatization. In making these linkages, the research reveals the cascading effects of digital inequality among youths where constant connectivity is the sine qua non of social inclusion.     

Older audiences in the digital media environment

Relying on Jensen and Helles’ model for studying the Internet as a cultural forum, this study aimed to explore the extent to which traditional media are displaced by innovative communication practices within the older audience of new media. The study was based on a cross-European survey of 1039 Internet users aged 60 years and up. Results indicated that older Internet users are significantly more inclined to use traditional mass media than new social media and prefer synchronous to asynchronous mass media. This audience, however, is not homogeneous, as four subsegments were identified. These groups differed in their media repertoires, sociocultural background and leisure preferences. The findings suggest that despite the increasing percentage of older Internet users, this audience tends to adhere to familiar media practices, with only a minority making intense use of new practices. With very few cross-national differences, this tendency appears to be universal, suggesting overall media use traditionalism and a second-level digital divide among the older audience.
