“…Our activity, online and face-to-face, can be expressed utilising the same concepts, part of this is the way we conceive of the development and maintenance of appropriate relationships between learners. Wang et al (2011Wang et al ( , 2012 are less concerned with the conceptualization of the virtual world, but its role in supporting relationship building and enhancing interpersonal communication. They deal with at least two ways in which these relational aspects of communication are important.…”

“…The focus on the humanising of the web (Oinas-Kukkonen and Oinas-Kukkonen 2013), of a concern with phatic communion using internet-associated technologies (Wang et al 2011(Wang et al , 2012, the language of technobiophilia (Thomas 2013), and the more ubiquitous 'web 2.0' all emphasize a focus on exchange, user generated content and more relationally informed modes of engagement. This is not to claim that the internet did not previously have a social dimension.…”

In this paper I explore the implications of the increasing social and sociable uses of new, mobile internet associated technologies (MIATs) for online learning. In particular I focus on tablet computers as at the vanguard of this shift. Drawing on discourses of technobiophilia and phatic communion, the propositions explored in this paper are that: (a) that internet associated technologies have been shaped by and reflect the ways in which humans engage with objects and each other in the physical world, (b) that of particular significance for MIATs are frequent small scale social interactions between users, and (c) that a more detailed consideration of these affordances would enhance online learning. I develop this account by considering the potential role of relationships for supporting the development of socially cohesive learning groups and the enhancement of online learning. In particular I focus on the need for partiality within a learning group and mechanisms for managing conflict. I conclude by offering two broad principles for a more sociable online learning experience.

“…La generalización de este tipo de servicios, de cara a crear y compartir contenidos, unidos a otros condicionantes como el "efecto red" (Klemperer, 2006;Liebowitz & Margolis, 1994;Shapiro & Varian, 1999), "la economía de la larga cola" (C. Anderson, 2004, el fomento de una "arquitectura de participación" (O´Reilly, 2005) e incluso la consolidación en la Web de "tecnologías fáticas" (Tucker, Wang, & Haines, 2012;Wang, Tucker, & Rihll, 2011) producen el ecosistema idóneo para que los usuarios no técnicos 10 puedan crear y compartir fácilmente información en la World Wide Web. A partir de la eclosión del fenómeno conocido como "Web 2.0" se rebajan las barreras de entrada de uso de las aplicaciones.…”

El surgimiento de HTML5; un nuevo paradigma en los estándares WebThe rise of HTML5; a new paradigm for Web standards Raúl Tabarés Gutiérrez TECNALIA faraondemetal@gmail.com RESUMENGracias al crecimiento, expansión y popularización de la World Wide Web, su desarrollo tecnológico tiene una creciente importancia en la sociedad. La simbiosis que protagonizan estos dos entornos ha propiciado una mayor influencia social en las innovaciones de la plataforma y un enfoque mucho más práctico. Nuestro objetivo en este artículo es describir, caracterizar y analizar el surgimiento y difusión del nuevo estándar de hipertexto que rige la Web; HTML5. Al mismo tiempo exploramos este proceso a la luz de varias teorías que aúnan tecnología y sociedad. Dedicamos especial atención a los usuarios de la World Wide Web y al uso genérico que realizan de los Medios Sociales o "Social Media". Sugerimos que PALABRAS CLAVESCOT; innovación de usuario; social media; WhatWG; innovación social. ABSTRACTDue to the growth, expansion and popularization of the World Wide Web, its technological development has a growing importance in society. The symbiosis that generates both of these elements has delivered a greater social influence to the innovation processes and a much more practical approach. In this paper we would like to describe, to characterize and to analyze the growth and diffusion of the new web hypertext standard called HTML5. Moreover, we explore this process in light of various theories about technology and society. Special attention is paid to World Wide Web users and Social Media. We claim that web standards are influenced through the daily use of these kinds of new technologies.

“…As a result, sustaining technological innovations become occasions for the development of group norms, mores, folkways, values, rules, and other formal and informal structuring institutions. Wang et al [2011] indicate that such innovations help in creating and maintaining human relationships. Sustaining innovations create occasions for cocreation and a dialectic tension between con°ict and cohesion [ Van de Ven and Poole (1995)].…”

“…While technological innovations could be socially unsettling [Carlsen et al (2010); Christensen (1997); Christensen and Bower (1996)] they could also facilitate changes for the better [Li (2009); Wang et al (2011)]. Possibly, as Neil Postman [1985] suggests, organizations should pay attention to the e®ects of technological innovations and act to regulate those that negatively a®ect their adopters, especially when technological innovations involve qualitative breaks from past thought and past ways of living [Robinson and Smith-Lovin (1992)].…”

In this paper, we theorize that individuals who value independence and distinctiveness identify more with social identities as a result of adopting sustaining technological innovations. Conversely, individuals who value interdependence may become more independent as a result of adopting disruptive technological innovations. We argue that successive adoptions of technological innovation may expand and contract the breadth of adopters' collective identities. We discuss the implications of this conceptual paper and suggest avenues for future research at the nexus of technological innovation and cultural change.
