8. Прочтите и переведите текст устно. Выполните задание № 9,10 к данному тексту. Social media conquer the world

Social media serve as the communications infrastructure for the Internet users and are intensifying the shift in power towards increasing civic engagement and sovereignty. Small interest communities make the most use of social media on the the Internet. Status updates, microblogs, social bookmarks, video sharing, photo commentaries and other recommendations stimulate niche markets, a large number of which are dotted all over the net.

More and more Germans are using the the Internet. On average, in 2010 every German aged 14 and over surfed the web for 100 minutes a day. Almost 50% of over-50s and fully 23% in the 70+ age cohort regularly spend time on the the Internet. The ability to be contacted anywhere in the world is taken just as much for granted as exchanging large volumes of data at low cost. The parameters for all active the Internet users are short communication channels, the rapid viral spread of information, the decentralized organization of collective mobilization, and a wide range of options to participate in many spheres of everyday life. The technical means for people to create digital content themselves are becoming increasingly user-friendly, meaning that professional firms are no longer the only ones to offer digital content. As consumers evolve into ‘prosumers’, growth in the amount of user-generated content is unstoppable and networking is becoming ever more closely knit to span the globe.

Not all digital content is of (economic) value, however. There is a greater danger of information being misinterpreted because it often appears out of context. Comprehension in pattern form, i.e. following and understanding topics, trends and discussions, is easier in specific communities in which people work selectively and collectively on information. The consequences of this growing network density and the flow of real-time information in constantly new contexts are also apparent in rising degrees of complexity, reduced scope for control and rapid rates of change for business and society.
