Given the continuous transformation of the video consumption across multiple devices, this chapter has the main goal of characterizing the viewer behaviors at home, including the motivations for specific interactive television (iTV) features. An online survey was conducted with the aim of clarifying if the consumption patterns at home are contributing to the demand for unification services that combine videos from internet sources with TV content. The results highlight some insights regarding the preferred devices depending on age and the content source, as well as limitations and valued features to be considered in the development of future unification and personalization services. The results from this study are useful, not only to understand the dynamics of audiovisual consumption regarding the “future of television,” but can also be applied to foster product-oriented projects based on the synergies between behavioral factors, technological innovations, and industry trends regarding audiences' needs and UX.
Several studies value the importance of technologies in everyday social processes, stressing loudly its positive effects for time control and management. However, the use of digital technology is increasingly said to co-produce the ways youngsters experience daily lives, as these are increasingly weaved in media hyperconnections, in several insidious and multiple forms, and in a continuous and enduring manner. This text focuses on the state of the art about the extension and nature of these co-productive processes, highlighting the effects of the technological means of communication on youngster's time representations and experiences, namely considering the social networks and other interactional devices that are now constituting increasingly more the individual identity, despite its intangibleness. The goal is to critically analyze the existing literature on time, technology, and youth, presenting its main contributions from a conceptual, methodological and practical point of view, including the use and the ways in media hyperconnections.
Em uma primeira instância, a nova obra de Lipovetsky trata da atual sociedade que vive de uma civilização que nos transporta para uma era da leveza. O culto pela magreza triunfa com mecanismos que primam o leve, que vão ao encontro dos hábitos mais comuns da sociedade e invadem as tecnologias, que estão cada vez mais micro e com ideais de serem mais estéticas, passando pelos paradigmas do desejo, do corpo etéreo e das promessas de que o leve é sinônimo do futuro. Para elucidar as ideias tratadas no título, o autor separa a obra em oito capítulos distintos, tendo como principal objetivo explanar de forma crítica o atual cenário sociocultural de uma sociedade que se vê presa em arquétipos cada vez mais ligeiros, do combate do leve contra o pesado. O primeiro capítulo, Aligeirar a vida: bem-estar, economia e consumo, fragmenta os processos na linha histórica que aborda o combate moderno do leve contra o pesado, compreendidos entre os séculos XVIII e XX, com exemplificações do aligeiramento social com base nas políticas socioculturais e do bem estar que são impulsionadas pela revolução da alta tecnológica eletrônica e digital, marca do atual momento social que passamos, de uma vida que evidencia o prazer espontâneo que pode ser comprado e consumido.
