Resumo Este trabalho investiga os impactos ambientais, sociais, urbanos e paisagísticos decorrentes da infraestrutura da internet, a partir do estudo de caso da grande ressonância arquitetônica desse sistema: o Data Center, um tipo de edifício em ampla multiplicação que evidencia a fisicalidade de um sistema que se apresenta como nebuloso, onipotente e ubíquo. A partir de exemplos elegidos, instiga-se a desenvolver análises dessas arquiteturas hipertecnológicas, discutindo seus aspectos formais e sócio-ambientais. A centralidade vital da infraestrutura da internet em uma sociedade cada vez mais conectada reverbera desafios existentes, mas cada vez mais complexos, como processos de urbanização, acesso desigual à comunicação e alto impacto ambiental, integrando o debate dos possíveis caminhos do campo da arquitetura nos desdobramentos da era digital. Palavras-chave: Data Center; Infraestrutura; Arquitetura da Internet; Fisicalidade da Internet. Abstract This work investigates the environmental, social, urban, and landscape impacts resulting from the internet infrastructure, focusing on the case study of the great architectural resonance of this system: The Data Center — a type of building in wide multiplication that highlights the physicality of a system that presents itself as cloudy, omnipotent, and ubiquitous. Based on selected examples, it analyzes these hyper-technological architectures, discussing their formal and socio-environmental aspects. The vital centrality of internet infrastructure in an increasingly connected society reverberates existing but increasingly complex challenges, such as urbanization processes, unequal access to communication, and high environmental impact, integrating the debate on possible paths in the field of architecture in the developments of the digital age. Keywords: Data Center; Infrastructure; Internet Architecture; Internet’s physicality.

78 Fordham Law Review 2799 (2010)The Internet is a semicommons. Private property in servers and network links coexists with a shared communications platform. This distinctive combination both explains the Internet's enormous success and illustrates some of its recurring problems.Building on Henry Smith's theory of the semicommons in the medieval open-field system, this essay explains how the dynamic interplay between private and common uses on the Internet enables it to facilitate worldwide sharing and collaboration without collapsing under the strain of misuse. It shows that key technical features of the Internet, such as its layering of protocols and the Web's division into distinct "sites," respond to the characteristic threats of strategic behavior in a semicommons. An extended case study of the Usenet distributed messaging system shows that not all semicommons on the Internet succeed; the continued success of the Internet depends on our ability to create strong online communities that can manage and defend the infrastructure on which they rely. Private and common both have essential roles to play in that task, a lesson recognized in David Post's and Jonathan Zittrain's recent books on the Internet.

AbstractAlthough archaeology has become increasingly concerned with engaging diverse publics, and has embraced the internet as a means of facilitating such engagement, attitudes towards Wikipedia have—understandably—been more ambivalent. Nevertheless, we argue here, Wikipedia's popularity and reach mean that archaeologists should actively engage with the website by adding and improving archaeological content. One way to do this is in the classroom: this paper provides a detailed how-to for instructors interested in having students create new Wikipedia content. We provide a case study in Wikipedia engagement from an advanced undergraduate course on African Archaeology, assess a program (Wiki Education) designed to help, and suggest further avenues for future outreach. We conclude that Wikipedia's utopian mission aligns with many of the goals of public archaeology, and argue that archaeology has much to gain by engaging with—rather than ignoring or even shunning—Wikipedia.

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, misinformation and unscientific interpretations flooded the internet. Seeking credible information in Egypt was paramount at the time. An answer to this quest was ‘Ask Nameesa’, an award-winning Egyptian-focused chatbot that utilizes Facebook Messenger to communicate with social media users in an individualized response engagement. It relies on information validated by WHO and the Egyptian Ministry of Health. This article examines the structure of Ask Nameesa as an example of infobots and studies the interactive engagement it offers users to provide health information. The study analyses data gathered by interviewing the founder and CEO of DXwand, the company that developed Ask Nameesa as well as content analysis of conversations with Ask Nameesa to assess its user engagement. The study aims at understanding the potential Ask Nameesa has in providing information literacy and tackling public demand for information.

By using the Propensity Score Matching model, this study proves the existence of an Internet premium effect. After other factors are controlled, it is found that the average wage income of Internet users is 1.38 times that of non-users. At the same time, there are significant gender differences in the premium effect of the Internet on wages: Women’s Internet wage premium is 90.6% that of men. Furthermore, it is found that the Internet premium effect on wages is highly related to users’ online behaviors. Compared with female users, male users are more inclined to use Internet resources to acquire knowledge and human capital; among female users, those with a greater conception of gender equality are more inclined to use the Internet for learning and accumulation of human capital. Using the framework of previous research on gender inequality in cyberspace, this study focuses on how gender perception influences Internet users’ preferences and ways of using the Internet, which is an important cause and mechanism of reproduction of gender inequality in cyberspace.
