Post-truth named word of the year by Oxford Dictionaries In the era of Donald Trump and Brexit, Oxford Dictionaries has declared post-truth to be its international word of the year. Defined by the dictionary as an adjective relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief, editors said that use of the term post-truth had increased by around 2,000% in 2016 compared to last year. The spike in usage, it said, is in the context of the EU referendum in the United Kingdom and the presidential election in the United States. Contenders for the title had included the noun alt-right, shortened from the fuller form alternative right and defined as an ideological grouping associated with extreme conservative or reactionary viewpoints, characterised by a rejection of mainstream politics and by the use of online media to disseminate deliberately controversial content. First used in 2008, its use surged this spring and summer, said the dictionary, with 30% of usage in August alone. But the increase in usage of post-truth saw the term eventually emerge ahead of the pack. We first saw the frequency really spike this year in June with buzz over the Brexit vote and Donald Trump securing the Republican presidential nomination. Given that usage of the term hasnt shown any signs of slowing down, I wouldnt be surprised if post-truth becomes one of the defining words of our time, predicted Oxford Dictionaries president Casper Grathwohl. Its not surprising that our choice reflects a year dominated by highly-charged political and social discourse. Fuelled by the rise of social media as a news source and a growing distrust of facts offered up by the establishment, post-truth as a concept has been finding its linguistic footing for some time.

(UEG -2017) The Internet of Things The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming an increasingly growing topic of conversation both in the workplace and outside of it. Its a concept that not only has the potential to impact how we live but also how we work. But what exactly is the Internet of Things and what impact is it going to have on you, if any? There are a lot of complexities around the Internet of Things but we want to stick to the basics. Lots of technical and policy-related conversations are being had but many people are still just trying to grasp the foundation of what the heck these conversations are about. Lets start with understanding a few things. Broadband Internet is becoming more widely available, the cost of connecting is decreasing, more devices are being created with Wi-Fi capabilities and sensors built into them, technology costs are going down, and smartphone penetration is sky-rocketing. All of these things are creating a perfect storm for the IoT. So What Is The Internet of Things? Simply put, this is the concept of basically connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet (and/or to each other). This includes everything from cell phones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones, lamps, wearable devices and almost anything else you can think of. So what now? The new rule for the future is going to be, Anything that can be connected, will be connected. Disponvel em: . Acesso em: 12 set. 2016. (Adaptado).
