  • About-Asana.Pdf
    About Asana Asana is a leading work management platform that helps teams orchestrate their work, from daily tasks to strategic initiatives. Asana ​adds structure to unstructured work, creating clarity, transparency and accountability to everyone within an organization—individuals, team leads and executives—so they understand exactly who is doing what, by when. Our co-founders started Asana because they experienced firsthand the growing problem of work about work, or internal coordination. Instead of spending time on work that generated results, they were spending time in status meetings and long email threads trying to figure out who was doing what. They recognized this pain was universal to teams that need to coordinate their work effectively to achieve their objectives. As a result of that frustration, they were inspired to create Asana to solve this problem for the world’s teams.

More and more often I see behaviorism at work in attempting to lure brains to a site or app and to keep them coming back day after day. This book exposes these practices and offers readers a glimpse behind the “emotional scenes” as tech companies come out psychologically fir- ing at their consumers. Unless these practices are exposed and made public, tech companies will continue to shape our brains and not in a good way.” —Larry D. Rosen, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, author of 7 books including The Distracted Mind: Ancient Brains in a High Tech World “The Psychology of Silicon Valley is a remarkable story of an industry’s shift from idealism to narcissism and even sociopathy. But deep cracks are showing in the Valley’s mantra of ‘we know better than you.’ Katy Cook’s engaging read has a message that needs to be heard now.” —Richard Freed, author of Wired Child “A welcome journey through the mind of the world’s most influential industry at a time when understanding Silicon Valley’s motivations, myths, and ethics are vitally important.” —Scott Galloway, Professor of Marketing, NYU and author of The Algebra of Happiness and The Four Katy Cook The Psychology of Silicon Valley Ethical Threats and Emotional Unintelligence in the Tech Industry Katy Cook Centre for Technology Awareness London, UK ISBN 978-3-030-27363-7 ISBN 978-3-030-27364-4 (eBook) https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-27364-4 © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2020 This book is an open access publication.

  • Facebook Fake News in the Post -Truth World
    9-717-473 REV: SEPTEMBER 14, 2 0 1 7 JOHN R. WELLS CAROLE A. WINKLER Facebook Fake News in the Post -Truth World Our mission is to make the world more open and connected. — Mark Zuckerberg1 Introduction In January 2017, Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook was surrounded by controversy. The election of Donald Trump as the next President of the United States on November 8, 2016 had triggered a national storm of protests, and many put the blame at the door of fake news stories served up on Facebook’s Trending News Feed.2 Facebook had launched the service in January 2014 to deliver news stories that might be of interest to Facebook users, in addition to the automatic News Feed that told them what was going on in their social network. Individuals could select items that they were interested in, but an algorithm served up news items that might appeal based on past reading habits and those of their close friends.3 The argument against Facebook was that this process polarized public opinion, fueled prejudices and encouraged the bitter partisan character of the election campaign.4 Some claimed that fake news, propagated through News Feed, supported the rise of anti-establishment sentiments amongst groups that felt left behind by the establishment elite.5 Zuckerberg was unapologetic. On November 10, 2016 he had commented, “Personally I think the idea that fake news on Facebook, which is a very small amount of the content, influenced the election in any way — I think is a pretty crazy idea.”6 He argued that fake stories were posted on both sides of the political spectrum.
