Book Description
In 1995 Stephan Fletcher disappeared from a computer laboratory in the middle of the night. An investigation led to the discovery that the chatroom he had been visiting had played host to seven people from three different continents; in the past three months, six had died and now Fletcher had disappeared. Was Fletcher another victim of a fatal "accident" or had he somehow orchestrated the deaths? Looking back on the incident from the year 2045, the magazine "Mysteries of the Past" builds a case against Fletcher and re-examines all the known facts. An innovative style of writing combines both newspaper articles and excerpts from the magazine with chatroom dialogue to lead you through the events of 1995 in "Paul's Restroom."

Book Description
There was a time when there was no social media or even mobile phones. A landline phone was the only thing that our ancestors could use to communicate, and discuss a matter with people staying far away from them. At times, the people living in those times also used to write long letters even if they wanted to convey a small message. These letters took several days to reach the person to whom the message was to be conveyed. But, the rapid technological development in the last few decades has transformed the way we communicate, and socialize. In today's world, we use apps for many of the things we do every day, which includes communicating and keeping in touch with our family, and friends. The apps that we use for this purpose are called social apps, or social networking apps. These apps have become an essential part of our day-to-day communication and socialization. People use social apps to communicate with friends and family, meet new people, express their views and opinions, and keep up with current events. On the whole, social apps allow users to interact and engage with others via technology. And as they have become an integral part of our lives, we must have some knowledge about such apps. For that purpose, this book has been designed as a beginner's guide that will take you through the world of social apps. It aims to explain to you everything about such apps, which are primarily of two types: Audio Chat Rooms and Video Livestreaming. In this book, you will find all that you need to learn about Audio Chatrooms and Video Livestreaming apps, including their pros and cons. It also talks about the impact of social apps on Society and Culture and how these apps are changing communication and interaction. But, the book just does not stop at that, as it also explores the future of social apps. These are just some of the interesting topics covered in this book. This book is meant for everyone who wants to learn about social apps including those who are always on the hunt for the latest social apps. One such app is Wafa, which is one of India's first voice-centric apps.

Aqib has always been a go-getter, starting his career with Facebook pages during his school days and having an umpteen business turnover by his final year in college.

Cognitive Economics
Author: Paul Bourgine
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540247084
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 479
Book Description
The social sciences study knowing subjects and their interactions. A "cog nitive turn", based on cognitive science, has the potential to enrich these sciences considerably. Cognitive economics belongs within this movement of the social sciences. It aims to take into account the cognitive processes of individuals in economic theory, both on the level of the agent and on the level of their dynamic interactions and the resulting collective phenomena. This is an ambitious research programme that aims to link two levels of com plexity: the level of cognitive phenomena as studied and tested by cognitive science, and the level of collective phenomena produced by the economic in teractions between agents. Such an objective requires cooperation, not only between economists and cognitive scientists but also with mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists, in order to renew, study and simulate models of dynamical systems involving economic agents and their cognitive mechanisms. The hard core of classical economics is the General Equilibrium Theory, based on the optimising rationality of the agent and on static concepts of equilibrium, following a point of view systemised in the framework of Game Theory. The agent is considered "rational" if everything takes place as if he was maximising a function representing his preferences, his utility function.
