Public Parts: How Sharing in the Digital Age is by Jeff Jarvis

By Jeff Jarvis

A visionary and confident philosopher examines the stress among privateness and publicness that's remodeling how we shape groups, create identities, do company, and dwell our lives.

Thanks to the web, we now live--more and more--in public. greater than 750 million humans (and half all americans) use fb, the place we percentage 1000000000 instances an afternoon. The collective voice of Twitter echoes immediately a hundred million instances day-by-day, from Tahrir sq. to the Mall of the United States, on matters that variety from democratic reform to unfolding typical mess ups to big name gossip. New instruments allow us to percentage our photographs, video clips, purchases, wisdom, friendships, destinations, and lives.Yet swap brings worry, and plenty of people--nostalgic for a extra homogeneous mass tradition and provoked by means of well-meaning advocates for privacy--despair that the net and the way we percentage there's making us dumber, crasser, distracted, and liable to threats of all types. yet now not Jeff Jarvis.

In this shibboleth-destroying e-book, Public Partsargues persuasively and in my opinion that the web and our new feel of publicness are, in truth, doing the other. Jarvis travels again in time to teach the fantastic parallels of worry and resistance that met the appearance of different thoughts equivalent to the digicam and the printing press. the web, he argues, will switch enterprise, society, and existence as profoundly as Gutenberg's invention, moving energy from previous associations to us all.Based on vast interviews, Public Parts introduces us to the lads and girls development a brand new according to sharing.

Some of them became family names--Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Google's Eric Schmidt, and Twitter's Evan Williams. Others might quickly be famous because the industrialists, philosophers, and architects of our destiny. Jarvis explores the promising ways that the web and publicness let us collaborate, imagine, ways--how we manufacture and industry, purchase and promote, arrange and govern, train and study. He additionally examines the need in addition to the bounds of privateness on the way to comprehend and hence shield it.

This new and open period has already profoundly disrupted economies, industries, legislation, ethics, formative years, and lots of different features of our day-by-day lives. however the swap has simply started. the form of the longer term isn't really guaranteed. the fantastic new instruments of publicness can be utilized to reliable ends and undesirable. The choices--and the responsibilities--lie with us. Jarvis makes an pressing case that the way forward for the internet--what one technologist calls "the 8th continent"--requires as a lot safety because the actual house we proportion, the air we breathe, and the rights we find the money for each other. it's a area of the general public, for the general public, and via the general public. It wishes safety and appreciate from we all. As Secretary of country Hillary Clinton acknowledged within the wake of the uprisings within the center East, "If humans all over the world are going to return jointly on a daily basis on-line and feature a secure and efficient adventure, we want a shared imaginative and prescient to lead us." Jeff Jarvis has that imaginative and prescient and should be that consultant.

Sample text

Die erste Frage lautet: Was ist wesentlich, und was kann ich weglassen? Bewahren Sie keine Inhalte im Web mit dem Hinweis, jemand konnte sie vielleicht mal gebrauchen. Wer konnte sie gebrauchen und wozu? Ihre Zieldefinition beantwortet diese Frage eindeutig. Nur zielfiihrende Informationen gehoren ins Internet. Braucht die Firma Krauterbach einen Lageplan im Web? Sicher nicht mit der Zielsetzung, das Call-Center zu entlasten. Raus damit. Sparen Sie sich und Ihren Usern Zeit und Geld. Die zweite Frage heiBt: Wer hat die Inhalte auf der Site schon gebraucht?

Uidt Ihre Site schnell genug? 2. 3. Sorgen Sie fur Spannung von der ersten Sekunde an, also noch wahrend sich die Startseite aufbaut? Bieten Sie eine klare Nutzenbotschaft? 4. Fuhren Gestaltung und Text den User intuitiv zu seinem Ziel? 5. Wie viele Klicks sind n6tig, urn die drei wichtigsten Seiten fur jede Zielgruppe zu erreichen? Vermeiden Sie mehrere, verschieden benannte Links auf ein und dieselbe Unterseite. Beim Beispiel RL-Klimatechnik aus Kapitel 1 fiihren insgesamt drei verschiedene Links auf dieselbe Seite - namlich auf die gerade angezeigte.

Wenig wahrscheinlich. Was ihm der Verkaufer als Argument nannte, ist nicht mehr als eine Produkteigenschaft. Fiir ein langes Rohr zahlt Norbert Nutzwert kein sauer verdientes Geld auf den Tresen. So viel kann ein langes Rohr nicht kosten. Der Verkaufer legte nach: "Damit konnen Sie aufrecht saugen". Auch diese Worte verfehlten ihre Wirkung. Aufrecht saugen ist der Vorteil, der sich aus dem langen Rohr ergibt. Noch immer kein Grund, die miihsam erworbenen Scheine auf den Tisch zu blattern. Der Verkaufer kratzte sich am Kopf.
