In order to reach our goal, we analyzed the software MSN Messenger in regards to its use in the business administration area and by an interpersonal communication group. For these studies we used theories that emphasize the aspects of face/without face interaction, the importance of form for the groups which were analyzed. We tried to map the history of science and technology development in the state of Goiás and the effort of the government to fight the digital exclusion. However, we found members of the society who are highly qualified, therefore making use of the information technologies in their daily life, this enabled us to get to know the inner aspects of each group, as well as their specific characteristics. The application of theories was done through the analysis of interviews and dialogues which furnished us the structure and application of the groups and also the influence of the MSN Messenger over the sociability forms of their members.<br>A pesquisa em questão refere-se ao estudo das alterações conseqüentes dos fenômenos relacionados à área de ciência e tecnologia sobre as formas de sociabilidade. Com a intenção de alcançarmos nosso objetivo, propusemo-nos à análise do uso do software de comunicação instantânea MSN Messenger, em sua aplicação à área administrativa e junto a um grupo de comunicação interpessoal. Para este estudo lançamos mão de teorias que realçam os aspectos da interação com rosto/sem rosto, e a importância da forma quando da percepção dos grupos em análise. Procuramos construir o histórico do desenvolvimento da ciência e tecnologia em Goiás e o esforço deste estado para combater a exclusão digital. Verificamos, entretanto, a existência de parcelas da sociedade que se encontram altamente qualificadas para seu uso, promovendo a inserção das tecnologias da informação no cotidiano social. Essa constatação permitiu-nos conhecer os aspectos internos de cada grupo, bem como as características particulares de cada um. A aplicação das teorias junto aos grupos estudados ocorreu por meio da análise de entrevistas e diálogos pertinentes a um e outro grupo, o que nos forneceu a estrutura e aplicativos dos grupos, e ainda a influência do software MSN Messenger sobre as formas de sociabilidade de seus integrantes.

Cette recherche s’interroge sur les pratiques et les usages d’Internet et de Windows Live Messenger. Elle dresse un panorama des usages d’Internet et de WLM chez l’adolescent et analyse leur appropriation dans une phase où l’individu est en expérimentation et en quête d’identités sociale et culturelle. Nous étudions les spécificités de WLM et les types de sociabilité qui se tissent par son biais. Les résultats mettent en évidence la permanence ou l’évolution des pratiques des objets étudiés. Nous nous interrogeons sur les traits permettant de définir, socialement et techniquement la « culture jeune » et mettons en exergue un ensemble de critères spécifiques à la diffusion et à l’appropriation d’un dispositif par les adolescents. Comprendre et analyser l’usage social de WLM permet de saisir les termes relationnels de son insertion et les changements sociaux et culturels induits par les pratiques. Pour cela, le corpus est constitué de deux enquêtes séparées de 3 ans auprès de collégiens, lycéens et étudiants de Côte d’Or. D’un point de vue théorique, le travail s’appuie sur la sociologie des usages et permet d’étudier Internet et la WLM comme des dispositifs socio-techniques. Cette perspective questionne les concepts de culture numérique, de fractures numériques et sociales, d’usage social et de lien social. Une dernière partie de cette thèse établie des préconisations de développement des TIC en Bourgogne et en zone rurale. Nous avons procédé à trois entretiens avec les sénateurs de Côte d’Or afin d’avoir la vision politique d’acteurs de terrains locaux et nationaux, sur le rôle et les enjeux des TIC dans l’aménagement du territoire et dans leurs implications au service du lien social et de la cohésion sociale<br>This thesis examines the practices and uses of the Internet and of Windows Live Messenger. It charts out different uses of the Internet and WLM among young people, and analyses the way they are adopted, at a time when the individual is experimenting with social and cultural identities. It deals with the specificities of WLM, and the types of sociability associated with it. The results of the study show that practices linked to the objects studied evolve in some areas, while remaining stable in others. The thesis seeks to establish the key traits which go to make up, socially and technically « young people’s culture », and lays out the different criteria specific to the propagation and adoption of a technical artifact by young people. Understanding and analyzing the social uses of WLM allows us to identify the relational context surrounding its insertion and the social and cultural evolutions implied by associated practices. For this reason, the study is based on a corpus composed of two empirical data-sets, recorded three years apart, involving middle-school, high-school and university students from the Côte d’Or region of Burgundy. From a theoretical viewpoint, the study is based on user sociology and approaches the Internet and WLM as social and technical artifacts. This perspective questions the concepts of digital culture, of digital and social divides, of social use and of social relations. A final part of the thesis applies the findings to the development of ICT in Burgundy and in rural regions, in the form of a set of guidelines. A series of three interviews were conducted with local politicians elected to the French senate, in order to establish the vision of political leaders both on local and national levels, concerning the role and the issues surrounding ICT from the point of view of urban development, and their implications, in terms of social relations, for maintaining social cohesion

<p>De olika skrivpraktikerna som ungdomar idag möter rymmer olika former och villkor där skolans mer formativa förhållningssätt ställer andra krav både till sitt innehåll och form jämfört med fritidens skrivpraktik där ungdomarna ofta själva väljer både textarena och formen för denna.</p><p> </p><p>Syftet med den här undersökningen var att försöka förstå och ge en bild av de olika skrivpraktiker som eleverna möter dels på sin fritid och dels i skolan. Vi ville även studera om fritidens skrivpraktik påverkade skolans skrivpraktik och i så fall hur. Undersökningen har genomförts med hjälp av åtta olika informanter, lika många flickor och pojkar, fördelat på fyra stycken i årskurs 8 på grundskolan och fyra stycken i årskurs 1 på gymnasiet. Resultatet har sedan analyserats utifrån tidigare forskning och visade att det skiljer sig mellan ungdomars privata skrivpraktik jämfört med skolans mer formella genreinriktade skrivpraktik. Skillnaderna utgörs av vad som inspirerar ungdomar till skrivande, om ämnesområdet har en verklighetsförankring med en autentisk mottagare, samt syftet med själva skrivpraktiken.</p>

<p>It is very probable that VoIP will soon replace the ordinary telephone. Beside all advantages of the digital voice-connection it is linked to the danger of spam on the telephone. A lot of approaches have been developed to solve the problem of VoIP spam. Because some of these solutions are based on access to personal information of its users, a broad discussion about the best and most ethical approach has started.</p><p>This thesis analyzes the users’ point of view towards the VoIP spam problem and the extent of users’ willingness to offer private information in order to avoid VoIP spam. It presents results from a qualitative and a quantitative research as well as approaches for a most realistic- and most promising VoIP solution. These new approaches are based on the results of the research.</p><p>The main points of the results showed that users were not willing to offer private information to companies and that they were not willing to pay any amount of money for VoIP spam solutions. Users held governmental organisations and telephone operators responsible for finding a solution against VoIP spam.</p>

Subsequently, this study treats and retraces how MSN Messenger users exercise their cyberpower in the inherent weight (What is difficult to change-- Structures such as class, patriarchy, hierarchy). 　　This study is belong to constructional futures research, the major research method is Causal Layered Analysis (CLA), a methodology of futurology, which we can watch and read all different situations and clues by participant research. Using of CLA method that we understand underlying change processes and culture’s deep assumption, and furthermore we are able to find out principal direction and tendency influencing future development. In the later period, this study adopts the Ethnographic Futures Research (EFR) in qualitative inquiry to elicit scenarios. Drawing support from sociocultural leaders who guide us to expand our view on the question, and they increase social options exactly and properly. Through EFR scenarios, we shape four creative future images. They are: (1) the cybersociety of perfectly individual liberty; (2) the cybersociety of individualism and diversification; (3) the cybersociety of alienation and dissimilation; (4) the transparent and surveillance cybersociety. Finally, we try to make reflective thinking about possible implications of optimistic or pessimistic visions at collective desire. By way of positive mindset, the overriding purpose of this study is to maintain or improve human well-being and partnership preferable futures of the cybersociety.

碩士<br>國立臺北科技大學<br>創新設計研究所<br>96<br>As the design trends towards cross-field and cross-country modal, and distance designing become the market environment that the designers must face. The distance designing system is a tool developing in this environment. Comparing to the immature development in initial stage, the generation in technology and internet develops rapidly and grows to be mature. Moreever, it develops many distance communication facilities in software and hardware, such as Interwise、Co Create-OSD、Pro/E-Windchill, to help the progress of the distance designing. This kind of system has been a mature design tools, but it is hard to popularize to design market for the expensive price. In this thesis, we try to apply MSN Messenger and Skype to the cencept development stage which is the most frequent interaction part in executing process. After understanding the meaning, properties and problems, we discuss in effect of the results of the cencept development with different media (handwriting, digital communication tools) and prove the possibility of real-time communication system applied to cencept development by Qualitative analysis. Further, we construct a distance designing communication modal in cencept development stage based on MSN Messenger and Skype and make the cooperative design tools broader and more convenient in future.

碩士<br>東吳大學<br>資訊科學系<br>94<br>Recently, Instant Messaging (IM) has been widely discussed. Based on the content of discussion in this study, we can observe that IM is gradually becoming an important commercial communication tool. The increasing number of worldwide IM subscribers and the fast growing online revenue boost the potential of IM as a key business opportunity in China. As the numbers of users grow tremendously, the emerging commercial opportunities are attracting many investors’ interests to enter this market aggressively. Online payment plays an important role in the electronic commerce. It provides efficient trading experiences for both sellers and buyers through the internet. Therefore, the goal of this study is to investigate into the factors that affect consumer’s intention to use the online payment which integrated with IM. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is considered as the basic model. To better reflect IM context, the research model also incorporates Prior Experience, Familiarity and Trust. The results showed that consumer's intention to use a new payment method on IM was influenced by his/her prior experience and familiarity. Together, they explained 56 % of the observed variance in the payment method on IM. Trust toward the payment method, one the other hand, did not exhibit direct influence to the consumer intention to use the payment method on IM. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.

碩士<br>靜宜大學<br>英國語文學系<br>99<br>This study describes the phenomenon of languages used in synchronous Computer-Mediated Communication, focusing on MSN Messenger, and the issue of language contact – code-switching (CS)–among Chinese- English bilinguals in Taiwan. Previous studies placed a great emphasis on conversational data of CS (Gumperz 1983; Myers-Scotton 1993; Muysken 1997). Little attention has been paid to how bilinguals or multilinguals use their linguistic resources in the CMC setting (e.g. Huang 2004). The aim of this research is to reveal how CS is identified among writing systems, depending on inspecting the language patterns and language use in online communication. The data reveals that, contrary to previous studies, there are two levels of CS, that is, CS analyzed at the level of language and at the level of writing system. Three languages and three writing systems used on MSN Messenger are identified in my data. The languages include Mandarin, Taiwanese, and English; meanwhile, the writing systems include Standard Written Chinese (SWC), Chinese Zhuyin and English alphabet. At the level of language, four patterns of CS are found: CS between Mandarin and English, CS between Mandarin and Taiwanese, CS between Mandarin and Taiwanese-Mandarin and CS among Mandarin, English and Taiwanese. Considering CS at the level of writing systems, three patterns are identified: CS between SWC and English Alphabet, CS between SWC and Chinese Zhuyin and CS among SWC, English alphabet and Chinese Zhuyin. Based on common thinking, both SWC and Chinese Zhuyin are used to represent not only Mandarin, but Taiwanese, and Taiwanese-Mandarin (Yang 2008); while English alphabets are merely used to represent English. Contrary to previous studied in the field of CS, the data shows that MSN Messenger users can use SWC and Zhuyin to represent English with similar to the usage of English alphabets to represent either Mandarin or Taiwanese. The data finds that there are more tokens of CS at the level of writing system (58.02%) than those of CS at the level of language (41.98%). The higher percentage of CS at the level of writing system may be attributed to the fact that the usage of writing system is so various and diversified, resulting from the widespread employment of English alphabet. The high frequency of using English alphabet is due to the great variety of linguistic features of English, such as capital letter, versatile English letter, onomatopoetic word, emotional icon (emoticon) and abbreviation. It is concluded that CS is a common language phenomenon on synchronous CMC whether at the level of language or at the level of writing system.

碩士<br>南台科技大學<br>資訊傳播系<br>95<br>The core concept of this research mainly investigates the social psychological factors of the MSN Messenger self-naming behavior. A cross analysis was carried out by the uses of self-naming signs for society support, self-disclosure and information and communication in terms of demographic variables of the users. This research adopts quality research. The first stage is to collect self-naming dated from August 1 to August 14, 2006, in total 323 people online, chosen randomly and recorded everyday. In the second stage, 7 people were chosen and interviewed dated from May 10 to May 30, 2007. The third stage, dated from May 31 to June 10, 2007. The way of observation adopted an all-day record, and carried on a depth interview with test-receiver. An intensive content analysis of all the data of writing in MSN self-naming were carried out. The research result finds that using self-naming sign is variety. It includes the special sign（☆）. In the aspect of the sexual difference, the tradition females are tended to use Chinese autonym. The females used more picture signs than the males, such as sign（♡）. In using picture sign（ ） aspect, the males does not like the females using the emotional pictures, they preferred charcters. In emotion aspect, the females expressed emotion by MSN self-naming, they are not more tactful than the males. It is different from the traditional impression that the females should include these characteristics of astringent, gentle and soft and graceful and restrained. In the age aspect, although self-naming content of the older is talking about the mood, the number of transformation self-naming is less then the younger. The way of expression is also more reserved. It is probably because that the younger are easily to adopt a clear way to show the feelings about loving, anger, sadness, and happiness. In the occupation aspect, the users added the information about the profession in MSN self-naming due to the occupation. At the same time, if the user changes his work, it also affects the using status of MSN self-naming. The findings of the research mainly are the analysis of the uses of self-naming are developing and are able to divide into three satges. The first stage, the user expects to announce personal existence and ingenuity, self-disclosure and emotion expresses. Through the second stage, the users hope that the self-naming can cause the other people concerns and interaction. The users can find the society support, society approval and social control or decide the development of social interaction. Finally, the users cause the other people's attention, start a discussion and responses by operating a subject or the skill of similar news subject.

碩士<br>輔仁大學<br>電子工程學系<br>96<br>Using a GPS to navigate, a guard locates a car theft and utilizes vehicle tracking which is at present widely employed. In this paper the terminal device using a microcontroller combines a GPS and a GSM/GPRS to make a portable and remote controlling device, and an embedded server is used as a transfer location server. In this way one accomplishes real-time vehicle trajectory monitoring. Clients can remotely monitor a vehicle’s position anywhere. Besides, as we have designed the remote monitoring using a virtual comport to combine the existing commercial or free electronic map directly, we need not develop or revise the electronic map software. We have designed a smart server using software agent technology which integrates an MSN Autoresponder, an authority manager, a moving objects detector and a streaming media encoder into a powerful PC to implement the auto-reply, the authority, the active alert and the remote monitoring functions. By using the remote video surveillance and MSN communication technologies, the remote clients can monitor the cameras. The location of the remote clients may be anywhere in the world, provided that there is an MSN Messenger.
