Information and communications technologies (ICTs) constitute a potentially transformative force in world politics. The industries associated with these technologies are growing rapidly, and some have argued that their importance in the overall economy at both the national and global levels increased in recent decades. ICT industries include both goods producers and service providers. ICT manufacturing includes all the goods-producing industries that use semiconductor components, such as consumer electronics, the computer industry, the telecommunications equipment industry, and industrial and military electronics. Within each of these groups, there are sub-industries that specialize in particular segments of the market. The services side of ICTs is also very large in terms of revenues and employment, and is growing rapidly. ICT services include, among others, the software industry, telecommunications services, data processing, and web-based information services. Many scholars argue that the importance of ICT industries goes beyond the revenues and employment generated in the industries themselves, however. ICTs may also be transformative in that they reduce transaction and communications costs in the overall economy. They make possible new forms of organization of human activity, especially as globalization and digitalization is progressing rapidly in the recent decades. Such processes have attracted the attention of international relations scholars, as they have been focusing on international regimes governing ICT-related activities in the past decade.

Information And Communication

In this chapter, the various ways technologies have exerted influence upon cultures and societies since the dawn of human existence is examined. Be it man-made fire, sharpened stone tools and weapons, or cave paintings, humans are always inventing “something” to sustain or improve their lives and/or livelihoods, and generally make their existence more tolerable – and comfortable. The culture surrounding and thus influenced by technological advances differs from traditional definitive criteria of groups. A technologically-influenced society and culture is identified by its populace's ability to access and use its defining technologies. Nowadays social communication and interactions often occur with others across cultures, continents and socioeconomic systems as constantly evolving information technologies emerge as communication tools. In order to understand the role of technology's influence on our societies, we must understand the historical significance of various information and communications technologies' influence on culture and how changes in our interactions and relationships across all groups have occurred as a result.

Information and Communications Technologies management and, in particular, Web pages are fundamental to an adequate disclosure of information and dialog to NPOs´ stakeholders. Amongst the entities of this sector, the labor of University Foundations (UF) as intermediary agents between the university and society is highlighted in this chapter. In spite of their social mission, the corruption cases of some UF have questioned their legitimacy, so the demand for new models of accountability has increased. Based on these precedents and centered on United States cases, this study presents two objectives: firstly, to analyze the influence of regulation, related to the right to information access, in UF´s Web usage as an accountability mechanism; secondly, to identify the relation between the management of 1.0 Web and the implementation of the new technologies of information—2.0 Web—in the aforementioned Web pages.

RESUMO Este artigo propõe-se a compreender como as manifestações sociais no Brasil, ocorridas em junho de 2013, foram difundidas por meio das redes sociais na internet e como as tecnologias móveis de comunicação e informação tiveram papel chave na ampliação e potencialização dessas informações na sociedade brasileira durante os eventos, transformando-os em redes sociais conectadas por aparatos móveis. O artigo utiliza o método fenomenológico-hermenêutico (GAMBOA, 2002) como suporte para o questionamento acerca de como as redes sociais móveis podem ser observadas nas manifestações sociais ocorridas no Brasil em junho de 2013. O referencial teórico traz como aporte os estudos relacionados às redes sociais na internet (RECUERO, 2009), às tecnologias móveis de comunicação e informação (MANOVICH, 2005; SANTAELLA, 2013) e às manifestações sociais (CASTELLS, 2013), dentre outros. Durante o processo, foi possível observar que a utilização das tecnologias móveis de comunicação e informação foi fundamental para a ampliação e disseminação das manifestações sociais no Brasil e para a formação de redes sociais móveis.Palavras-chave: Redes sociais na internet; Tecnologias móveis de comunicação e informação; Redes sociais móveis; Manifestações sociais no Brasil.             ABSTRACT This paper tries to comprehend how the social protests that happened in June 2013 in Brazil radiated through social networks in the web and how mobile communication and information technologies had a key role in amplifying and empowering this information in Brazilian society during those events, turning them into social networks connected through mobile devices. This paper uses the phenomenological-hermeneutics method (GAMBOA, 2002) to support the question as to how mobile social networks can be observed in the 2013 social demonstrations in the country. The theoretical references stand on studies about online social networks (RECUERO, 2009), mobile information and communications technologies (MANOVICH, 2005; SANTAELLA, 2013) and social protests (CASTELLS, 2013), among others. During this process, it was possible to observe that the use of mobile information and communications technologies was essential to amplify and spread the social demonstrations in Brazil and to form mobile social networks. Keywords: Social networks on the Internet; Mobile communication and information technologies; Mobile social networks; Social manifestations in Brazil.
