“It might surprise parents to learn that it is not a waste of time for their teens to hang out online,” said Mizuko Ito. University of California. Irvine researcher and the report’s lead author. “There are myths about kids spending time online – that it is dangerous or making them lazy. But we found that spending time online is essential for young people to pick up the social and technical skills they need to be competent citizens in the digital age.”
In a qualitative research conducted over the last 3 years. 28 researchers and collaborators at the University of Southern California and the University of California. Berkeley interviewed 800 young people and their parents both one-on-one and in focus groups; spent over 5000 hours observing teens on sites such as MySpace. Facebook. YouTube and other networked communities; and conducted diary studies to document how and to what end young people engage with digital media.
•There is a marked generation gap in how youth and adults view the value of online activity: Adults tend to be in the dark about what youth are doing online and often view online activity as risky or an unproductive distraction. In contrast - youth understand the social value of online activity and are generally highly motivated to participate.
•Youth are navigating complex social and technical worlds by participating online: They are learning basic social and technical skills that they need to fully participate in contemporary society.
•The social worlds that youth are negotiating have new kinds of dynamics as online socializing is permanent public involves managing elaborate networks of friends and acquaintances and is always “on”.
•Young people are motivated to learn from their peers online: The Internet provides new kinds of public spaces for youth to interact and receive feedback from one another. They are motivated to learn more from each other than from adults.
•Most youth are not taking full advantage of the learning opportunities of the Internet. They are exploring social aspects of the internet but neglect other learning opportunities which are perceived less popular within their local peer groups.
Estée Lauder Chairman Leonard Lauder reportedly coined the phrase “lipstick index” after observing sales surges during 9/11 downturns. Why? People reach for affordable luxuries to feel better notes that in the last few months lipstick sales have shot up 40% . Even in Indian markets & in the case of luxury brands that have a smaller base extending even into the triple digits.
Mobile phone giant Nokia in association with UC Berkeley has launched a public pilot that will collect and study traffic data received from GPS-enabled mobile devices such as the Nokia N96. Nokia N95 & Nokia E71. The aggregated data is then encrypted & sent to a computer system which blends it with other sources of traffic data and broadcasts this real‐time data‐rich information back to the phones and to the internet through a user friendly interface. The Mobile Millennium team expects to have 10,000 participants by April.
“The whole concept here is that if everyone shares just a little bit of what they’re seeing … then everyone can benefit by seeing the conditions ahead of them” said Quinn Jacobson a research leader at Nokia.
GPS is becoming ubiquitous on mobile devices forecasts by the end of 2010 almost 40% of mobile handsets will support GPS. However the compelling idea of ‘User Generated Content’ remains a myth so far - atleast on authenticity & commercial viability.
Many of us may not be aware of the Runet search giant Yandex’s Traffic 2.0. In response to Moscow traffic jam Traffic 2.0 is a mobile based user-generated traffic congestion monitoring service on GPS module & distributed via toolbar. IMs & desktop widgets. In order to have more reliable traffic data Yandex later bought Smilink -Russian road traffic monitoring agency.
Probably that is why Nokia’s test market is San Francisco Bay Area (CA has invested heavily in traffic monitoring sensors on major roadways) eventhough Sao Paulo. Brazil has the & Nokia’s market share in Brazil is 61.83% (as against 7% in the US) .
Do not discard the possibility of engaging applications like ‘date finder’. ‘language exchange partners’ & others that may emerge around traffic solution of Nokia.
And guess - who would be eagerly watching this ? None other than Nokia’s web partner. Eventually the Nokia route could be Google’s inroad to the markets where it is not the leader.
