CyberPsychology

Social Psychology of Web Architecture Cyberspace: The Final Frontier by Monica Chen

"I've come to realize that with the birth of cyberspace, we have inevitably create two worlds for ourselves, the real world, and the virtual world.  To those who are in touch with both, it all seems logical to have a home in both worlds.  We can try and rationalize (like Dr. James pal) that these are just a bunch of folders and files that are connected to the internet, and it is just near propostuous to relate that to your own home that you reside in.   Yet, at the same time, can't we rationalize that our "real" home is just a bunch of wood planks, concrete and nails that are use to put together an enclose space for us to call home?

What makes our cyber homes different from our "real" home is that we can't touch it; what we CAN do in cyberspace is experience the cyber world through our eyes.  We are constantly visually stimulated with images and pretty little animated icons, and it is the style and the info that makes a site enticing enough for us to stay and visit.  This leads me to the next section of Dr. James paper, Informational Content of Home Pages."

A World of Love...And How To Get There by Monica Chen

"Though the connection may seem somewhat vague, I can understand how Mr. Rossman relate the development of morality to our perception of god as we develop mentally and emotionally. In my opinion, the majority of values that are instilled within us come from our belief systems. Our morality depends on our beliefs which are developed through our perception of the world, life, relationships, and even god. Ultimately, we all want to reach some sort of salvation, the key to happiness. In the web site Mr. Rossman writes that when we reach stages six and seven, we discover that God doesn't punish and has no need to do so (you can find it on this section.) This is what he consider as salvation, and ultimately, we are in made in the essence of God."

Life On The Screen: Chapter 2 The Triumph of Tinkering by Monica Chen

"Question:  Why is she talking about the "culture of simulation?" What does this phrase mean?  Answer:  When I looked up a synonym for "simulate," I got words such as "fabricate," "pretend," and "fake." I think that when Turkel speaks of the present computer culture as the culture of simulation, she is referring to the fact that computer programs nowadays are design to be more closer to life, whether it is visually, or auditory. Video games such as SimSeries is basically a simulation of real life (a bit exaggerated, but still real enough). Programmers want their users to interact with and to immerse into the programs that they have created. I think that is what has made computers become more and more an essential element in our lives, the fact that we are able to project a part of ourselves into our computer, and be able to get a response."

Getting Hold of Cyberpsychology Cyberspace: In the Eyes of the Beholder by Monica Chen

"Cyber-psychology, in my own definition, is therefore the study of users behavior in cyberspace.  Unbeknownst to the majority, there are so many psychological aspects to clicking on links, creating web sites, interacting in chat rooms, and other actions that we take while we are in cyberspace.  For example, in Dr. James article Cyberpsychology: Principle of Creating Virtual Presence, he states that, "An individual's cumulative lifetime bookmarks or history file constitutes a spiritual biography of that person." We are where we link ourselves to.  Every site we visit can tell an observer how we are and what we like, thus in a way, creating us as individuals.  This is what cyber-psychology studies, our behavior and attitude towards cyberspace."

What are Virtual online communities? What is their purpose? by Craig Kawamura (G11)

My Experience with Newsgroups Something to Talk About: Love and Long Distance Relationships by: Marilyn Ortal

"I think that people react in newsgroups because they all share something in common. In the newsgroups, people can voice their opinions or share ideas. Some of them consider their newsgroup a family. There are a few people that I have met that needed some advice on their relationship, and I really thought that that was interesting. I reacted on some of their messages because I could understand how the person felt in that situation."

Private Eye: Internet Detective by: Marilyn Ortal

"The Internet Detective tutorial, teaches you skills to evaluate an Internet resource by looking for clues; asking questions, and considering the motives of people publishing on the Internet. It is very easy to become "lost in Cyberspace", the Internet Detective helps you to be clear about your purpose, orientate yourself within cyberspace, get clues about the context from URLs (uniform resource locators), and establish the type of resource you are looking at."

Report on the Psychology of Virtual Online Communities Online Communities by: Marilyn Ortal

"Virtual online communities are a part of what we call Cyber culture. A culture that has its own unique characteristics and rules which governs its establishment and existence. It is similar to face-face communities in that there are rules that governs the interactions between people. Virtual communities are similar to face-to-face communities in that they need active members to keep the virtual community alive. Virtual communities works the same way as face to face communities because it provides an opportunity for people to interact among one another. In a virtual community, you can choose to participate in discussions or not, just like in face to face communities where one can choose the group of people he/she wants to have a discussion with. I believe that an evolution in cyberspace of virtual communities has already begun. With the advancing technology that we have today, there are new and creative ways of inventing means of communicating, like virtual communities."

The Making and Breaking of a Web Page:  From Sucky to Savvy by Hyechin Kim (G11)

"Would you rather the web page that you're looking at to be more or less sophisticated? Why?  I think it would depend on the content of the web page. If it was a personal web page I would like to see more persoanl touches to bring out the author's personality. However, if it was a business or a government's page, then I would like a little sophistication."

Disappearance of Internet Etiquette by Hyechin Kim (G11)

"Halland states that when communicating on the internet, we set up a relationship with other people in whick the people get less human and the machine gets more human. And this is how the three signs of internet regression (flaming, flirting, and giving) come into play. We flame the other person as if they had no feeling like a machine. We flirt with the machine as if it was a person. And often we're open and giving toward the computer because it is open and giving to us. the machine becomes us, and we become the machine."

The Technology Source Site Summary by Valerie Iinuma (G11)

"The author displays some interesting statistics. These statistics are indicators that our education system is changing.
- The amount of information in the world is doubling every 18 months. At a recent World Future Society Conference (1995), it was reported that the present information technology revolution is growing more than a million times faster than the historical evolutionary rate of humans and their systems.
- Within the next 25 years the population of the earth will increase by 33%. The global population was 2.8 billion in 1955 and is 5.8 billion now. It will increase by nearly 80 million people per year and reach approximately 8 billion by the year 2025
- The available data storage on a microchip doubles every year to 18 months. In 26 years, the number of transistors per chip has increased more than 3,200 times- from 2,300 on the 4004 in 1971 to 7.5 million on the current Pentium¨ II processor."

Web Review Site Summary by Valerie Iinuma (G11)

"The article recommends that all system administrators practice some simple rules:
- Turn off unwanted host service and web server features.
- Use a firewall to protect the internal network.
- Isolate the server and limit access to the server.
- Keep all server software up to date and apply security patches when they become available.
- Be paranoid about anything that modifies server data.
- Understand how everything works."

Social Psychology of Web Architecture: Becoming a Web Designer by Jocelyn Manibusan (G11)

"The hardest thing that I encountered in creating a web page was being organized and creative. It takes a lot of time and effort to produce an appealing and eye catching web page that would attract web surfers. The goal of a web page is to attract visitors and provide information that would be useful and entertaining that visitors will want to return or recommend it to others. This report will explore some of the issues about web design. I will visit the web page of two prior generations alumni who have similar experiences with me in creating a web page. Then, I will discuss the contents of Jeff Glover's web page which is filled with information about how to create a savvy web page and what you should avoid if you don't want a sucky page. Also I will explore the psychology of web pages through the words of Dr. James. Lastly, this report will include a brief description of my experiences as a web designer and how it has influence my life."

Web Site Popularity by Jocelyn Manibusan (G11)

The topic of my presentation is on Web site Popularity. The web site that I reviewed was searchpositioning.com. This site is intended for individuals who want to increase the popularity or traffic to their web site. ...   To create a doorway page for your web site you will need to fill out a form that ask for keywords that describe the content of your web page. It is recommended that you use 3 or more keywords to describe the content of your web page because often people searching on the web hardly use on one key word when searching for something. You will also fill in your URL address and which search engine you are going to submit your doorway page to. You can create as many doorway pages as you want to describe the content of your web page or for submission to different search engines."

Reviewing the Millennium Project on the Web by Jocelyn Manibusan (G11)

"The Millennium Project is an international and global collaboration that provides for early warning and analysis of global issues, developments, opportunities, and strategies for the millennium. The purpose of the Project is to assist in organizing future research, renew and improve global thinking about the future, and to make their results available through a variety of media for consideration in public policy, professional and advance training, and in public education. ... The danger of information technology and the Internet include credit and bank fraud, manipulation and exploitation of information, the difficulty in establishing the authenticity of information, pornography issues, privacy and property rights, the creation and spread of viruses, and a new medium through which students can cheat."

Newsgroups:   What They Are and What They Can Do For You by Russ Muramatsu (G11)

"How can future generations use my document for studying newsgroups? I think first of all students can see a sampling of what a newsgroup actually is and what happens at a newsgroup. They will be able to experience the interaction that occurs between the participants. Secondly, students will have a running explanation along with the samples so they can better understand various terms as well as the motivation of the posters. I think one way future generations can improve upon my generation's report is to go back and look at all the previous generations' newsgroups reports and observe whether or not the norms of the newsgroup communities seem to have changed or remained relatively the same. By norms I mean the type posts, topics, behaviors, etc. that are deemed as acceptable and unacceptable."

Social Psychology of Web Architecture: a student's perspective by Russ Muramatsu (G11)

"A major part of my the Internet is so amazing and is going to change our lives is because of the wealth of information that it makes available to us and just a click of a button. Whereas before to get information on companies if you were interested in buying stock, for instance, you would probably have to write to them or go to a broker. Nowdays with the Net their are virutually hundreds of sites with information on all the companies. This empowers the individual investor who can now compete with the large institutional investors. Another example has to do with just researching a topic for a paper or presentation. As a college student I know from experience the amount of time it takes to research a topic, as well as the frustration involved. Previously you would have to drive all the way to the library to look up information. Now you can dial in to the libraries Web page and search for journals and books on-line. The amazing aspect is that the information arrives so fast. Just imagine requesting information from a computer half-way around the globe and receiving it in just seconds. Simply amazing -- it is truly a virtual teletransporter."

THE MISUNDERSTOOD VIRUS An Introduction to Computer Viruses by Russ Muramatsu (G11)

"Another misconception is that viruses are inherently evil. Most people upon hearing the word computer virus conjure up images of malicious attacks on innocent computer users. The truth is that viruses, as are any technology, neither inherenlty good or bad. They are neutral. It is the users of the viruses that can use them for good or bad purposes. That being said the most common use for viruses is for some malicious intent whether it be to cause physical damage to a system or to play a practical joke."

The Psychology of Computer Viruses by Jason Thomson

"The significance of computer viruses is that they are real and annually they do cause a lot of data loss, a lot of wasted time and money, and they are irritating. I?m not sure if they actually spread and propagate like a virus. I understand that is possible to write in commands to systematically have them invade one site and then another and another, so in that way they spread with intent like a biological virus has. A biological virus spreads from one organism to another with the intent of living off of it and a byproduct is that it usually kills the organism. This is also true of a computer virus. It is meant to inhabit another computer system and change the normal programming of that system."

Life on the Screen by Juliet Baptista (G11)

"In summary, the article discussed an interview with Sherry Turkle done by Howard Rheingold. She talks about her book, "Life on the Screen," and describes how technology has had a significant impact in our lives today. Turkle's main discussion topics included: the nature of windows, our dependency on technology, our lost of identity through virtual reality, and computer addiction."

Sheri Turkle and Technology by Juliet Baptista (G11)

"My second presentation was on the Note on Method: The Inner History of Technology from our class textbook by Sherry Turkle, "Life on the Screen"., which was published by Simon & Shuster in 1995.

It was a short summary on Turkle’s work history, and also included a little about her background as well. Aside from Life on the Screen, Turkle wrote another book in 1984, "The Second Self". In both books she explored how the computer has shaped our ways of thinking and feeling. However, "Life on the Screen" emphasized this view in regards to human identity."

THE TRANSPARENT SOCIETY: Will Technology Force Us to Choose Between Privacy and Freedom? by Juliet Baptista (G11)

"I think that surveillance should be placed in factories, warehouses, etc., but not so much in an office setting. Dr. James had a good point about companies have the right to place these cameras wherever they feel they need/want to. Personally, I don’t agree with that. Where does that leave our right to privacy? Candra stated that "the word ‘privacy’ will become extinct". I agree with her. I feel that this wouldn’t happen if surveillance systems wouldn’t be misused."

Social Psychology of Web Architecture: A Learning Adventure by Juliet Baptista (G11)

My Overall Reaction to the Newsgroups by Monica Chen

"Overall, I think newsgroups are good ways for people to interact and gain knowledge through. I went through many newgroups and through their messages, and I can say that I've learned a lot just by reading the messages that were posted. Newsgroups seems to serve their participants on many different levels. One can participate for social reasons, political reasons, for education, or even to make business transactions. Unlike a chat room, newsgroups allows one to take their time to think out what they want to say. Being a first timer, I didn't realize that there were so many newsgroups out there! In the beginning I felt overwhelmed by the numbers of newgroup, but once I got to look through a couple of them, I found myself sitting in front of the computer for hours on end. I do regret that I didn't participate in any of the newsgroups, perhaps in the future I'll find enough courage to do so."

Social Psychology of Web Architecture Cyberspace: The Final Frontier by Monica Chen

"So you want to build your own homepage that everyone in the virtual world can see in all its glory but you don't know where to begin and what the etiquette are. Well, technically, there are none. But if you want to have a site that is both pleasing to the eyes and informative in your own rights, then I suggest you go and check out Sucky to Savvy by Jeff Glover. When I first started looking through his pages, I said to myself, hey what makes this guy the authority on Web Design, and who's this guy that's bold enough to tell us what is "Sucky" to "Savvy"? But as I read on, I realized that this man does not proclaim himself as the master of all web design, but instead as he puts it, "While we cannot all agree on what's ultimately sucky or not, "Sucky to Savvy" tries to be fair in its assessments. As attitudes change so will this site.

In the beginning of this class, I was struggling. It appeared that I have forgotten practically everything I have learned about web design from my previous computer class. I was in the same boat as most of my fellow classmates. I had to start from square one. The endless typing and researching just on the codes alone to make a table, or frames were frustrating. Yet, at the same time I found it exhilarating to see my accomplishments (when I got it right). To think, there will be millions and millions of users that will eventually stumble into my site and see my oh-so-glorious masterpiece! As I progressed, tasks got easier, I found myself sitting in front of the computer for hours on end. Time became irrelevant. And now, I have a new found respect for all the web masters out there. This class has taught be not only the social and psychological influences that the Internet has on us, but it has also taught me the technological aspect of web design. I'm pretty sure that I know twice (if not three times) more about web design now than I ever did before."

Report on the Psychology of Computer Viruses: An Ounce of Prevention by Shehla Korff

"For Future Generations, you will always have newer and scarier viruses and more threatening hoaxes. Please feel free to use this document for any of your reports. As I stated in my homepage, this site is a culmination of quotes, paraphrases and interpretations from and of other sites and reports from prior generations. That is what a generational curriculum is all about."

The Who, What, Where and Why of Virtual Communities by Shehla Korff

"Founded by Steve Hassan, a mind control and cult phenomenon specialist, this site contains current news topics, information about Steve Hassan, other online resources, a list of cult groups (from Amway and Scientology to Jehovah's Witnesses to World Wide Church of God) and links to those sites, or anti-sites, I should say. Steve Hassan dedicates his time to preventative education. By training law enforcement officials, counselors, teachers, and families of cult victims, he has been able to put his Strategic Interaction Approach, a non-coercive method of protecting and rescuing cult members, to good use. This site should be of interest to anyone who is interested in cult mentality, mind control, and prevention."

Affective Computing Reviewed by Shehla Korff

"I agree that research in the area of human emotions is a good thing. In order for specialists to be able to effectively treat emotional disorders, they need to understand the underlying mechanisms of emotions. I had heard of smart rooms and smart cars before reading this site, so I wasn’t totally surprised by the extent to which MIT and other research facilities have taken Affective Computing. For example, the Lexus will remember up to two drivers’ preferences for seat and mirror positioning and music preferences. Think of what your house could remember about you.

Question:  Do you think there would be social controversy in dealing with affective computing, such as how can computers discriminate individual's unique emotion?  Answer:  I believe there will be controversy surrounding affective computing and its devices once the progress has gone so far that the items are marketable to the public and businesses. Rosalind Picard favors very strong encryption of the emotional histories of the users so that they are the only ones who can access that information."

"TinySex and Gender Trouble": A Chapter Summary from Life on the Screen by Sherry Turkle by Shehla Korff 

"I feel that MUDding simulates life and allows players a freedom of expression that may not be possible in their real lives. Some people will take the positive qualities from their characters and internalize them to make them their own. Others on the other hand, can use MUDding to experiment with harmful behavior. An example of this is the Columbine High School Massacre which took place on April 20, 1999. I will not discuss the killers or their motives in this section. You may click on the link if you need more information.

Virtual Sex is when 2 or more players type descriptions of physical, verbal and emotional actions and reactions. Turkle explains something called "fake-lesbian syndrome" whereby men adopt online female personae in order to have sex with women. Some have sex as non-human characters, as well as having sex with one person or in groups. All of these behaviors are considered by the majority of the society as abnormal; therefore, online "virtual sex" is a safe environment to experiment with one's sexuality. Tim's wife Janet feels that virtual sex is infidelity because it involves the intimacy of conversation during sex (224). Rudy broke up with his girlfriend. He thought she could be a lesbian because she plays men having sex with women. Martin and Beth feel that since virtual sex does not involve the body, it is not cheating. Beth explains that online sex is just like reading a steamy romance novel."

Attitudes Driving Newsgroups--A Community Forms by Shehla Korff

"A community has formed within this one topic thread. The original poster does not comment in the original thread because she wants to know what others think about the remark. However, Isavant posts 6 of the 18 original messages. Most of his are criticizing the other posters and he never quite gets around to answering Chenno's original question, What type of person could say this. He presents an ego centric personality, and he must be at the center of all the attention. His rudeness and abrasiveness did not seem to stop others from feeding into his need for attention. They, in their responses, are not rude or profane in their attempt to belittle him."

Search Engines:   The Student is the Teacher by Synthia Lopez

"The exercises for this course incorporate all of the basic skills that are necessary for becoming an active member of the larger community of web users. I think I had to learn how it felt to be part of the generational curriculum community in order to want to continue to expand my use of this technology. I wouldn't feel so strongly about continuing my use of the computer if I had not felt the joy in publishing or the empowerment in knowing that someone else will be touched by my work. Once I made order out of the chaos I was able to move ahead."

Social Psychology of Web Architecture: Building Pages that Last by Synthia Lopez

"Web page designers do have control over the information that is displayed and presented to the public. Publishers are virtual gods in the sense that they can create numerous connections between information, people, and places. Architects of the net are responsible for creating a new world where the pathways are meaningful and do leave a lasting impact once they reach people's minds. The main idea is that designers have the ability to affect people in some way and to guide them through cyberspace via websites, homepages, and links. The possibilities are endless, which I find fascinating, and anyone can do it once she makes the first step of setting up a page.

"We live in each others brains, as voices, images, words on screens. We are multiple personalities and we include each other" (Rheingold comment in Turkle, p.257 Life on the Screen). Our actions on the internet, including our publications on the web, is an extension of our brain into the brain of others."

Getting Hold of Cyber-psychology:  The World of Interconnectedness I am large; I contain multitudes. -Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass by Synthia Lopez

"This is how I understood Spiritual psychology and how I was able to relate it to transpersonal ideas. The fluidity of cyberspace lends itself to non-traditional perspectives, research and methodologies for investigation. "As we sense our inner diversity we come to know our limitations. We understand that we do not and cannot know things completely, not the outside world and not ourselves" (Turkle, p.261). A flexible self can ideally value diversity and comprehend limitations and feel the interconnectedness of all people. Maybe a spiritual or less rigid understanding of behavior and the mind can bring people together and realize the importance of our incompleteness with out the connections we have with others in mind and spirit. My question is: How do you merge science with spirituality--Can you still do statistics?"

My Review of Sherry Turkel (1995), Life on the Screen: Identity in the Age of the Internet by Synthia Lopez

"Cyborg Dreams":There is value in understanding oneself in several ways with access to all aspect of oneself. We become decentralized and people as a process instead of as an end finished product. The metaphors are everywhere as in her example of the changes in psychotherapy---the "psyche" as a story subject to revision. Everyone is having cyborg dreams--this recent trend of the morphing, fluid self is popping up in many places. Kids games and toys to AI researchers merging human and machine. The sense of collective identity is changing as computers and humans merge on realms like the internet "'The internet is like a giant brain...its developing on its own."

Getting to Know Newsgroups by Wing Man

"This is the first time I have ever browsed newsgroups.  What I have found were all kind of informations and they are suitable for all kind of people to join with.  Any sort of problems, the discussion community are willing to help each other and the response are kind of fast.  Most of the replies that I've saw on the newsgroup are with several days or even a couple hours.   This explain that there is a high and fast circulation in the newsgroup.  The people inside the newsgroup also act differently as I have observed.  They are either having a desire to ask and learn, and some of them are really getting excited about what they've said.  They wanted to expressed themselves to the public."

Web Design Issues by wing Man

"I feel that the generational pages are improving with the amount of information which it is gathering. As the next generation come in the data from which this new generation comes into contact with is bigger and allows for the ieas to develop into better ideas. Or maybe the thinking of the past generations were leading to the wrong outcome the next generation with a fresh outlook on things may bring light to the wrong lead and correct them. As each generation puts their data onto the internet, people around the world can see the progress which the students are making in collecting data and defining things in their own view."

The Quality of Emergence by Jayson Nakasone

"The artificial intelligence in a computer follows a certain set of rules. This brought up the first problem in trying to say that computers and human brains are the same. Human brains do not work on a set of rules but learn from experience. One person, Lady Ada Lovelace said this about computers," computers do what you tell them to do, nothing more, nothing less." This brings up the point that computers cannot think on their own. Humans gain knowledge from being in the world and learning through experience. The main difference about human brains and computers in the physical difference. Human brains are biological and computers aren't. Being biologically alive makes the human brain special and they knowledge gained can be wider than something that has ceilings on the learning variety. The chapter sprung new ideas of how similar the human brain and computer are. There are obvious differences between humans and computers, but when we look at the underlying structure of both, the similarities seem to pile up."
