News Friday, 15:06 07-05-2021

The survey with 300 students from second years to fourth years at the Academy of Journalism and Communication brought about key findings: time for reading books and documents under 1 hour/day; students have a preference for entertainment books such as short stories, novels, and comics, etc. to newspapers and magazines; there is a difference in the choice of reading space for study and entertainment and the majority of students come to the library to read the documents for their study and have the discussion and do group work; the percentage of students borrowing the books on the spot is higher than the percentage of those borrowing the books home. Although AJC has installed the electronic directory on the computer, students not using it account for 33.7 percent. The duration from 7.30 to 11.30 am has the most students at the library.

Forecasting the negative impacts of the big data era on political and social issues

Abstract: Nowadays, big data strongly affects all aspects of social life. It profoundly changes the way humans exist daily and hourly. The article makes some predictions about the negative impacts of the data era on socio-political issues such as the risk of data monopoly and digital dictatorship, liberty loss, mass unemployment, personalized discrimination, and biological inequality. These consequences never appeared in previous societies, so there is a need for distinctive solutions and humanity’s unity.
