Nor has this understanding been helped by disciplinary specialization and a continual focus on the latest innovations. Ralph Schroeder takes a longer-term view, synthesizing perspectives and findings from various social science disciplines in four countries: the United States, Sweden, India and China. His comparison highlights, among other observations, that smartphones are in many respects more important than PC-based internet uses. Social Theory after the Internet focuses on everyday uses and effects of the internet, including information seeking and big data, and explains how the internet has gone beyond traditional media in, for example, enabling Donald Trump and Narendra Modi to come to power. Schroeder puts forward a sophisticated theory of the role of the internet, and how both technological and social forces shape its significance. He provides a sweeping and penetrating study, theoretically ambitious and at the same time always empirically grounded.The book will be of great interest to students and scholars of digital media and society, the internet and politics, and the social implications of big data.Society & social sciencesbicsscMedia studiesbicsscSociology & anthropologybicsscSociologybicsscSocial theorybicsscElectronic books.Society & social sciencesMedia studiesSociology & anthropologySociologySocial theorySchroeder Ralphaut551913ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910251397003321Social Theory after the Internet2006375UNINA04681nam 2200721 a 450 991096249060332120200520144314.09786611430368978128143036612814303669780226308890022630889810.7208/9780226308890(CKB)1000000000403803(EBL)408398(OCoLC)476228862(SSID)ssj0000217008(PQKBManifestationID)11185764(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000217008(PQKBWorkID)10203588(PQKB)11530969(MiAaPQ)EBC408398(DE-B1597)535752(OCoLC)781254498(DE-B1597)9780226308890(Au-PeEL)EBL408398(CaPaEBR)ebr10229983(CaONFJC)MIL143036(Perlego)1972223(EXLCZ)99100000000040380319920507d1992 uy 0engurnn#---|||||txtccrOutput measurement in the service sectors /edited by Zvi Griliches with the assistance of Ernst R.

Since services represent well over half of the U.S. gross national product, it is also important to ask whether these sectors have had a slow rate of growth, as this would act as a major drag on the productivity growth of the overall economy and on its competitive performance. In this timely volume, leading experts from government and academia argue that faulty statistics have prevented a clear understanding of these issues.Studies in income and wealth ;v. 56.Service industriesLabor productivityUnited StatesService industriesLabor productivity330 s658.3/14Griliches Zvi1930-1999.88778Berndt Ernst R119168Bresnahan Timothy F305066Manser Marilyn145549MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910962490603321Output measurement in the service sectors4354770UNINA
