Can Our Civilisation Survive the Changes Generated by New Technology? Analysing Society and Media
Human history is a history of powerful civilisations which collapsed for various reasons, but behind all of those reasons there was the inability of each civilisation to adapt to changes that were introduced by the human race itself or by the external environment. Judging from history we can expect that our civilisation might collapse as well. This book takes a look at the huge changes brought by new technology that was introduced by humans over the past few decades and might have the power to destroy the modern civilisation. It analyses social disadvantages of the new technology and attempts to answer the question of what has to be done to enable society to adapt to the new techology, embrace it and use it for the collective good. It also explains how to recognize fake news, why Orson Welles was a fake news visionary and why Monica Lewinsky was one of the first victims of the modern new technology.

Influential Machines
A new framework for understanding how algorithms influence Web applications offer us conclusions about science. Twitter bots generate art. Machine-learning systems satirize politicians. We live in an era where a substantial share of our private and public communication is machinic. Modern computing machines cannot yet speak for themselves—although the capacities of AI are rapidly expanding—but they generate rhetorical energies as they give advice, entertain, and proffer insight, speaking to human concerns in more-than-human ways and guiding human action. In Influential Machines Miles C. Coleman looks beyond human communication to interrogate the ways in which the machines and algorithms ...
Fake News in Ancient Greece
Scholars have recognized that fake news is not a phenomenon peculiar to the 21st century. While efforts for a more focused approach to fake news in the ancient world have been carried out in the field of Roman history, the phenomenon of fake news in ancient Greece has received limited attention. The contributions in this volume offer a selective approach to this phenomenon by applying media and cultural studies instruments to ancient texts. They pinpoint parallels and differences between ancient and modern fake news by employing methods of literary and cultural studies, as well as historical-documentary analysis of ancient sources. In particular, they explore questions such as: To what exten...

EVALUAREA INFORMAȚIILOR DIN MEDIUL ONLINE: NU CREDE ȘI CERCETEAZĂ
“Lucrarea de față încearcă să ofere un ghid de informare corectă în mediul online. Într-o vreme în care omenirea este bulversată de volumul și impactul dezinformărilor instrumentate cu ajutorul unor tehnologii aflate la îndemâna oricui, este imperios ca utilizatorii internetului să-și dezvolte capacitatea individuală de evaluare a informațiilor pe care le accesează în acest mediu și să învețe cum să folosească mijloacele de comunicare digitală într-un mod benefic atât pentru ei înșiși cât și pentru cei cu care interacționează online. Educația media și informațională trebuie să devină un obiectiv strategic al politicilor educaționale dacă ne dorim să trăim într-o societate funcțională, populată cu semeni capabili să facă distincția între adevăr și fals, între fapte și opinii, între realitate și „fapte alternative”. Cartea abordează problematica evaluării informațiilor dintr-o perspectivă atât teoretică, cât și practică, propunând instrumente și metode de evaluare care pot fi folosite de orice utilizator al mediului online”. Robert Coravu
