The purpose of this study is to investigate whether off-task multitasking activities with mobile technologies, specifically social networking sites and short messaging services, used during real-time lectures have an effect on grade performance in higher education students. Two experimental groups and one control group were used in this research. While participants in experimental groups 1 and 2 were allowed to navigate Facebook and to exchange short messaging service messages via mobile phones during real time in class lecturing, the control group participants were allowed to take notes using only pen and paper in the same lecturing conditions during three consecutive experimental sessions. The results showed that when students were given the opportunity of non-lecture-related multitasking using mobile phones writing/sending short messaging services and looking at Facebook profiles/reading news feed/looking at shared multimedia/reading wall messages during the lecture, their grade performance was hindered compared to traditional pen and paper note-taking. Engaging in social media use while trying to follow instruction may reduce learners’ capacity for cognitive processing causing poor academic performance.

Cloud Computing is an attractive paradigm for organisations that have a requirement to process large scalable distributed applications. It allows for self-provisioning of cloud resources to develop and host applications as well as acquire storage and networking resources. Connected Government (c-government) is an area where cloud technologies can be effectively used to achieve the benefits that the cloud paradigm promises. Social Media, Web 2.0 and mobile technologies can all help to further enhance the connected government capabilities. Using such technologies, governments and citizens can engage in real time in the electronic participation of a government's functioning. In this chapter, we introduce the cloud paradigm and then discussing the requirements of c-government, we outline how cloud technologies can help to achieve an open and transparent c-government. The aim is to provide the basics of relationship between c-government and cloud computing to set the scene for other contributions in this volume.

In an online survey, 108 mobile phone users in the age bracket of 18 to 21 in India reported their emotional responses to six humorous, warning, and philosophical messages in real time. Using open coding, researchers coded respondents’ sentiments into positive, negative, and neutral categories and traced their effect on (a) the respondents’ intention to forward the messages, which was captured in real time; and, (b) potential recipients of the forwarded messages. Findings inform the research on electronic word-of-mouth on social media-based instant messaging platforms and mobile phones. Implications in terms of identifying and containing the spread of misinformation on social media are discussed.

The article analyzes the role of driving m-commerce with social networking and therefore provides insight into how the application of mobile apps influences customers’ perceptions on purchasing products online and on the mode of payment. The consumers are engaged in social interactions through the internet by the new opportunities provided by social media. These interactions provide and generate certain values for both businesses and consumers. An upsurge in the application of social media on mobile phones by users is evident, giving optimism and the ability to view the role of the integration of m-commerce into social media. Certain criteria like mobile app compatibility, trust, perceived value of mobile phone apps for online shopping, and online payment are examined from the point of view of consumers who purchase products, save purchase time, and provide easy use and security through social networking sites and m-commerce. Adoption of a digital mode of payment is affected by the education level of the consumers as, if they are internet savvy, they will be more inclined to use the digital payment mode. The article not only discusses the role of education in the better understanding of consumers toward the application of online modes of transaction through mobile phones, but also indicates that there are security issues, although these have been resolved to some extent by technological advances. Yet, there is need for the retailers as well as the consumers to achieve further technological progress.

Nowadays the internet, social media, and mobile technologies are indispensable for our daily lives. During the past decade, online social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and their social media apps like Instagram have been caused profound changes in the communication and interaction of people. In addition, social networking sites have become the focus of interest for everyone who has access to the Internet and who can use computers, tablets or smartphones.  Especially, youth and university students use the internet and social media as a mass communication vehicle with easy and fast access at an increasing frequency rate for their academic and/or other purposes. These tools are no longer just a good source of information but they have become a good reference guide for social interaction, games, information exchange and other purposes at the same time. People, -due to their nature- seek for entertainment, in order to have a good time and obtain information. Modern consumers use these social networking platforms as well to meet their needs to gather information on many subjects. This research aims to determine the effect of Instagram usage attitude on opinion seeking and the mediator effect of consumer innovativeness on this relationship. The results of this study reveal that consumers use Instagram as an information source about brands, products, and services. Moreover, Instagram usage attitude has a positive effect on opinion seeking.

Analyzing information from social media sites could bring great challenges and opportunities to solve many real time problems. It gives the public opinion about almost every product, personality or any service. The data from social networking sites is more accurate and useful to analyze the public sentiment about the trending topics. The activity of analyzing opinions, sentiments and also the subjectivity of data that is provided, is called sentiment analysis. Tweepy is an easy-to-use python library which is used to extract source data from twitter. From these tweets, features are extracted and then classified using Naïve Bayes algorithm to identify sentiment. This aims to provide an interactive automatic system which predicts the sentiment of the tweets posted in social media using python in real-time. These applications of sentiment analysis are broad and they tend to be very useful in today’s lifestyle. It will evaluate people's sentiment about the trends, entertainment, political issues and products which helps to improve marketing strategies with the help of hashtags, keywords etc.

Market Trends

In this paper, I examine how social media affects cryptocurrencies and more traditional stocks. I use data on Twitter posts in combination with daily stock prices to estimate the causal effect of a tweet on stock and coin prices. To do this, I use a difference-indifference regression with index funds as my control group, which allows me to capture general market trends that coins and stocks would follow if not for intervention. I find that tweets have a significant impact on cryptocurrencies that last up to three days after the post. The increase in coin prices is driven by tweets from Tyler Winklevoss and tweets about Tezos and Ethereum specifically. Meanwhile, Twitter posts have no impact on more traditional stocks. These results suggest that social media can provide the public with valuable information in real time for fast moving and volatile crypto assets, while their effects on more stable and institutionalized traditional stocks are more muted.

El binomio teléfonos móvil y RRSS en la adolescencia transciende lo tecnológico. Las prácticas de uso tan habituales en su vida cotidiana son ubicuas, pero relativamente invisibles para docentes y familias. Un conocimiento necesario para marcar una hoja de ruta en el diseño de propuestas educativas mediadas por tecnologías móviles. Mediante un estudio descriptivo longitudinal cuantitativo, se identifican niveles de uso y comportamiento con los teléfonos móviles en una muestra (N=645) escolar en ESO-Bachillerato, prestando especial atención a qué aplicaciones son las más empleadas, y el tiempo de uso en función del género y nivel educativo. Los resultados evidencian que el teléfono móvil no se percibe como un sistema de almacenamiento de información, se emplea con una finalidad comunicativa (RRSS) de las que se nutren las aplicaciones de edición de imagen (fotografía-vídeo) y consumo de audiovisuales (vídeos-música). En el segundo año de ESO hay un incremento de aplicaciones y de tiempo empleado frente al móvil. Las diferencias de género suponen brechas significativas en cuanto al uso de RRSS, y el valor de la imagen un punto axiomático en ello. Una praxis que evidencia las amenazas que suscita su empleo, y el reto de diseñar una alfabetización digital ambiciosa que contemple usos responsables de las RRSS, conocimiento sumo informado de los contenidos digitales y la introducción de escenarios comunicativos multimodales para crear y compartir. The association of mobile phones and social networks during adolescence surpasses technological considerations. These practices, while extremely common and ubiquitous in adolescents’ daily lives, are relatively invisible to teachers and families. It is, therefore, necessary to establish a roadmap in the design of educational proposals enhanced by mobile technologies. Through a quantitative longitudinal descriptive study, levels of use and behavior with mobile phones are identified in a sample (N=645) of Secondary School and Baccalaureate students. Special attention, which we disaggregate by gender and education level, is paid to the most commonly used apps and to time of use. Results show that the mobile phone is not only identified as an information storage system, but it is also used for a communicative purpose (social media) which is supported by image editing applications (photography-video) and audiovisual consumption (videos- music). In the second year of Secondary Education there is an increase in the use of apps and in the time spent using mobile phones. There are significant differences in relation to gender in the use of social media, being the value of the image an axiomatic point in this difference. Results show the threats inherent in the use of mobile phones and highlight the challenges when it comes to designing an ambitious praxis of digital literacy that contemplates responsible uses of social media, highly informed knowledge of digital content and the introduction of multimodal communication scenarios that favour sharing creative processes.
