“…Franzen (2003) found that Internet adoption among the Swiss was associated with no changes in size of social networks or time spent socializing, even though email use had a positive effect on social networks. Several studies done in the U.S. (Katz & Rice, 2002), Canada (Pronovost, 2002), and the U.K. (Anderson & Tracey, 2001) also reached the conclusion that Internet users do not differ from non-users in the overall amount of time spent on social activities or in the frequency and time spent on phone calls and visits to relatives and friends. Robins and Webster (1999) also argued that the space of virtual culture is a "space in which distance and its otherness is turned into illusory proximity and spurious affiliation" (p. 248), and that cyber communities are at best pseudo-communities in which bonds are tenuous and temporary and evade all of the commitment and complexity of face-to-face communities.…”

Popular women's magazines have gone online and are gaining increased readership because of their interactive content, videos, and discussion forums. This study examines women's perceptions and behaviors toward online women's magazines based on an online survey of 257 female magazine readers. We found that, compared with their print counterparts, online magazines were perceived to be easier to read, skip ads, order products, search for, save and share information and comment on articles. Moreover, most female readers are positive toward the technological merits of online women's magazines. Younger, less-educated, and less affluent readers showed a more positive attitude toward online women's magazines than older, more educated, and more affluent readers did. However, female readers' involvement with and engagement in the interactive features of online magazines were found to be low. Implications and suggestions for future research were discussed.

“…Anderson and Tracey (2001) state that people tend to dip in and out of technology, such as the internet, depending on their need and use of the technology which might result in social exclusion or social inclusion based on resource use of the digital infrastructure, access, skills, attitudes and extent of engagement with technologies. Furthermore, it is also claimed that community members, who are socially deprived, have limited access to digital resources such as information and communication technologies (ICT), i.e., the internet, which often results in advanced economies being information sources (Helsper, 2008).…”

Transport Infrastructure and Social Inclusion: A Case Study of Tourism in the Region of Gilgit-Baltistan

Until the building of the Karakorum Highway , the region of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, was extremely isolated, thus preserving distinct cultural traits. The few tourists accessing the area were primarily experienced mountaineers. The highway was established to provide a land link with China, principally as a result of turbulent geo-political rivalry. Once built, however, the road created a connexion to the outside world and allowed for many more visitors to the region. Whilst the road was not built with tourism in mind, it allowed easier access for tourists and necessitated the development of a service sector to provide for those using the road. As a consequence, a once subsistence and self-reliant economy became monetised, and modern consumer goods were introduced to the region. Increased access and mobility has facilitated change in the Gilgit-Baltistan, contributing to a degree of social inclusion not previously possible. Whilst there are multiple drivers of change observed here, tourism has provided an important means by which some of the more profound changes have occurred. Local people have adapted their livelihoods to the new, monetary economy resulting in a decline in traditional agricultural practices. More importantly, however, tourism has enabled the outside world to enter into the consciousness of local people. Visitors have become conduits of change and the world is now viewed via technologies made possible by the spoils of tourism. The road has also allowed for much easier movement of local people out of and back to Gilgit-Baltistan, thereby facilitating increased social inclusion with the wider world.

“…A pesar de las numerosas implicaciones que tiene este tema y de su interés para el ámbito científico, todavía existe una escasez de investigaciones, que no avanzan tan rápidamente como las nuevas tecnologías, capaces de convertirse en un fenómeno vital y casi imprescindible, con un impacto sociológico tan destacado, que no es posible calibrarlo en toda su magnitud e intensidad (Anderson & Tracey, 2002). Por este motivo, pretendemos que el presente trabajo sirva de ayuda para reflexionar hacia dónde pueden encaminarse, en un futuro inmediato, los usos, costumbres y actitudes, la competencia musical, de los estudiantes de Grado de Maestro.…”

“…En este contexto, los estudiantes universitarios están familiarizados con el uso de las TIC y las nuevas formas de consumo propiciadas por ellas, entre las que se encuentra el consumo musical. Para profundizar en esta realidad, se han realizado diversos estudios (Anderson & Tracey, 2002;Buckingham, 2002;Livingstone, 2009;Tapscott, 2009) que han analizado el impacto de las TIC en la vida diaria de los estudiantes y, de manera más concreta, han determinado la influencia decisiva de las herramientas tecnológicas en el consumo musical actual (Aranguren, 2011;Herrera, Cremades & Lorenzo, 2010;Solomando, Almerich & Fossati, 2012). Además, otras investigaciones (Barry, 2004;Bauer, McAllister & Reese, 2003;Beckstead, 2001;Enders, 2000;Ho, 2004;Savage, 2005), que han estudiado las percepciones y actitudes de los universitarios que emplean las TIC en el conocimiento y uso de la música, han puesto de manifiesto que este alumnado otorga un bajo potencial didáctico de estas herramientas, quedando todavía lejana la integración efectiva de las TIC en los procesos educativos musicales.…”

El desarrollo de las TIC ha traído consigo la difusión global de la música, así como la aparición de nuevas formas de consumo musical. Nuestro objetivo es analizar la competencia musical de los jóvenes (conocimientos, usos INTRODUCCIÓNLas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) se erigen como un fenómeno vital para gran parte de la sociedad actual, además de ser las incuestionables señas identitarias de toda una generación. El término "sociedad de la información" es un concepto que apareció hace varias décadas cuando diversos autores profetizaban este nuevo tipo de sociedad (por ejemplo, Machlup, 1962;Touraine, 1969;Bell, 1973;Bangemann, 1994;Castells, 1998) y la transformación de sus actividades humanas (economía, cultura, política, ocio, educación) por influencia de las TIC (Giráldez, 2005). Su constante e inevitable presencia en la vida cotidiana es causa y efecto a la vez de profundos cambios en las relaciones humanas, al originar nuevas situaciones laborales, de estilos de vida, de pensamiento y transmisión del conocimiento e incluso de interdependencia. Hablar de las TIC nos remite a un macro procedimiento en el que se integran medios de comunicación y procesamientos de la información, mediante un proceso de digitalización que permite la unificación de códigos y formatos (Majó & Marqués, 2002). Internet y sus contenidos digitales se han convertido en la mayor biblioteca que ha conocido el mundo, pero obliga a una necesaria y permanente actualización continua en lo que se refiere a técnicas documentales específicas para no perderse en el ritmo frenético de los cambios y avances que no cesan de producirse (Ramos, 2011). Por todo ello, podemos afirmar que el ciudadano del siglo XXI vive en un "entorno personal virtualizado" que fluctúa en un constante proceso de cambio, de transformación, perfeccionamiento, proliferación e innovación característico del mundo de las TIC, impactante y revolucionario fenómeno técnico y social, que afecta a todas las actividades humanas, laborales, formativas, académicas, de ocio y consumo.Para diversos autores (Cuban, 2001;Kerr, 2004;McMillan, Honey & Mandinach, 2005), estas herramientas tecnológicas mejoran las prácticas profesionales ya que poseen un carácter interactivo que otorga a los usuarios de las nuevas tecnologías un papel más activo en la profundización de la información que con los medios de comunicación tradicionales. Además, las TIC son instantáneas,
