商品描述

Daily life is connected life, its rhythms driven by endless email pings and responses, the chimes and beeps of continually arriving text messages, tweets and retweets, Facebook updates, pictures and videos to post and discuss. Our perpetual connectedness gives us endless opportunities to be part of the give-and-take of networking.

Some worry that this new environment makes us isolated and lonely. But in Networked, Lee Rainie and Barry Wellman show how the large, loosely knit social circles of networked individuals expand opportunities for learning, problem solving, decision making, and personal interaction. The new social operating system of "networked individualism" liberates us from the restrictions of tightly knit groups; it also requires us to develop networking skills and strategies, work on maintaining ties, and balance multiple overlapping networks. Rainie and Wellman outline the "triple revolution" that has brought on this transformation: the rise of social networking, the capacity of the Internet to empower individuals, and the always-on connectivity of mobile devices. Drawing on extensive evidence, they examine how the move to networked individualism has expanded personal relationships beyond households and neighborhoods; transformed work into less hierarchical, more team-driven enterprises; encouraged individuals to create and share content; and changed the way people obtain information. Rainie and Wellman guide us through the challenges and opportunities of living in the evolving world of networked individuals.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

日常生活是連接的生活,其節奏由不斷的電子郵件提示和回應、不斷到來的短信、推文和轉推、Facebook 更新、發布和討論的圖片和視頻所驅動。我們持續的連接性給予我們無窮的機會參與網絡互動的給與和接受。

有人擔心這個新環境使我們孤立和寂寞。但在《網絡化》一書中,李·雷尼和巴里·韋爾曼展示了網絡個體的大型、鬆散結合的社交圈子如何擴大了學習、解決問題、做出決策和個人互動的機會。這種新的社交運作系統「網絡個體主義」使我們擺脫了緊密結合群體的限制;同時也要求我們發展網絡技能和策略,努力維持關係,平衡多個重疊的網絡。雷尼和韋爾曼概述了帶來這一變革的「三重革命」:社交網絡的崛起、互聯網賦予個體權力的能力,以及移動設備的始終連接性。他們根據大量證據,探討了轉向網絡個體主義如何將個人關係擴展到家庭和社區之外;如何將工作轉變為更少等級結構、更多團隊驅動的企業;如何鼓勵個人創建和分享內容;以及如何改變人們獲取信息的方式。雷尼和韋爾曼引導我們面對生活在不斷演變的網絡個體世界中的挑戰和機遇。
