Net Assets: Personal Technology for Productivity in Radiology
Radiology, 2008Co-Authors: Stuart R. PomerantzAbstract:Stuart R. Pomerantz, MD In Net Assets, you will find a regular, easy-to-peruse roundup of the latest dynamic Web sites that can supercharge a busy day in radiology. The embarrassment of radiologic riches on the World Wide Web has made the online experience an indispensable ally for the modern radiologist. Yet, the thrill of uncovering the exact “pearl” for a confident diagnosis is often tempered by the frustration of unsuccessfully sifting among myriad distracting sites. Whether one’s goal is improved radiology searching, efficient ways of staying current with the literature, sharing great cases with colleagues, or enhancing presentations, I will focus on the most useful features of the best radiology Web sites and how to make the most of the time you spend on them. Recent advances in Web Technology, sometimes referred to as “Web 2.0,” are not only making radiology content much more accessible but also turning the Web into an amazing Personalized productivity tool. Net Assets will explore how the ingenious generalinterest (and often free) online services that seem to pop up regularly on sites like Google can be tailored to enhance the practice of radiology. We will also look at how various consumer gadgets can help radiologists multitask ergonomically, whether it be navigating a three-dimensional image volume or juggling multiple input devices to communicate our findings. The remainder of this issue’s column will focus on several Web sites that are already incorporating cutting-edge technologies to enhance the Internet as the ultimate clinical and anatomic reference in radiology.

Personal communication technologies as an extension of the self a cross cultural comparison of people s associations with Technology and their symbolic proximity with others
Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, 2008Co-Authors: Arun Vishwanath, Hao ChenAbstract:Increasingly, individuals use communication technologies such as e-mail, IMs, blogs, and cell phones to locate, learn about, and communicate with one another. Not much, however, is known about how individuals relate to various Personal technologies, their preferences for each, or their extensional associations with them. Even less is known about the cultural differences in these preferences. The current study used the Galileo system of multidimensional scaling to systematically map the extensional associations with nine Personal communication technologies across three cultures: U.S., Germany, and Singapore. Across the three cultures, the technologies closest to the self were similar, suggesting a universality of associations with certain technologies. In contrast, the technologies farther from the self were significantly different across cultures. Moreover, the magnitude of associations with each Technology differed based on the extensional association or distance from the self. Also, and more importantly, the antecedents to these associations differed significantly across cultures, suggesting a stronger influence of cultural norms on Personal-Technology choice. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

take control of interruptions in your life lessons from routine activity theory of criminology
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2017Co-Authors: Pankush Kalgotra, Andy Luse, Ramesh ShardaAbstract:Steeped among the items on the dark side of information Technology are Personal Technology interruptions. Past research has examined the negative impact of Technology interruptions; however, the factors that are responsible for the increasing rate of interruptions are rarely discussed. In this study, by adapting the criminology theory of Routine Activity Theory (RAT), we propose three factors that lead to an interruption: number of interruption sources, absence of guardians, and individual targetness. Results from a survey of mobile users show that combinations of these factors have increased the interruption rate in our lives. Interestingly, just having more apps on the phones does not increase interruptions; it is a combination of the factors noted above.
