decision making
It is important to stress that this area concentrates on the beneficial and negative impacts of ICT on the people within the Information Age, not on the services
Decision making : • Spreadsheets (‘what if’ scenarios, budgeting, forecasting, etc.).
• Simulation software (modelling – see Unit 3). • Data-mining tools (unearthing patterns in large databases such as – only as one example – the
correlation between a rise in the sales of Italian wine in a supermarket and the in-store promotion of pasta and sauce).
• Exception reporting tools, e.g. investigating all credit card transactions over a preset amount on an account,* looking in more depth at the sales performance of stores whose sales are more than 5 per cent below the average. (*Note that more sophisticated tools allow credit card companies to use artificial intelligence techniques to predict whether a particular card transaction is ‘abnormal’ and report it as an exception to be investigated.)

BBC - Outriders podcasts
BBC - Outriders. You should listen to some podcasts about tech to get some background info for your ebook.

Workplace bullying expert Dr. Gary Namie, President of the Workplace Bullying Institute defines bullying as “repeated mistreatment: sabotage by others that prevent work from getting done, verbal abuse, threatening conduct, intimidation and humiliation.” It is any behavior by employers or co-workers that subject targets to repeated, abusive conduct resulting in health-harming physical and psychological effects. Information and communications technologies such as E-mail, Instant Messaging and social networks can be part of this toxic mix of mistreatment. Indeed, while much research has been devoted to the study of cyber-bullying in middle- and high-school, there is little credible research to date on the role of cyber-bullying in the workplace.

Discussing free expression at Internet at Liberty 2010

It’s not often that we get to step out of our everyday jobs and spend extended time engaging in global conversations about one of our fundamental values at Google: ensuring access to information. For three days last week in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, we had that chance when more than 300 bloggers, activists, academics, government officials and representatives of non-profits and business convened for “Internet at Liberty 2010.” The conference, which we co-hosted with the Central European University, focused on “the promise and peril of online free expression” and the role of individuals, corporations and government in protecting free expression online.

At least he might be a better driver
THE relentless march of technology into everyday life has always given rise to debate about whether it is a good or a bad thing. Some believe that the internet and computer software are making humans more stupid or shallow. But others argue that computer programs in the form of video games can make people smarter or improve specific skills, such as spatial awareness. Indeed, an entire industry has emerged to help people “train” or improve their brains.
