Newport, Gwent
Wales
15 September 2012

Dear Tia,
I don't live in England, I live in Wales! Newport is a big town in the
south of Wales. It has got a population of 120, 000 people. My school is in
the north of the town. Near the school there are shops, offices and cafes.
A lot of students like football. After school they play football in the park
near the sea. I don't like football. I go to the swimming pool near the bus
station after school. I'm in the school swimming team. I live about four
kilometers from school. I don’t walk to school. I go on the school bus.
There are a lot of factories near my flat. My mother works in one of the
factories. My father doesn't work.
On Saturday mornings I have guitar lessons in my teacher's house
near the library and museum.
Write and tell me about your town and school.
Love, Anne

Dear Joanne,
I really want to thank you for all of the trouble you went to entertaining
the entire family over the past holiday season.
I know that you organize these holiday gatherings because you enjoy
doing it and you love to have everyone get together at your place.
Nevertheless, I just want to make sure that you understand how much the
rest of us appreciate everything you do to make these get-togethers
happen.
Having helped Susan organize a few much smaller social gatherings
over the years I know how much work is involved. I realize how much
planning and preparation you must have to do each and every year so
that the entire extended family and assorted friends and acquaintances
have a happy and fun holiday celebration. It’s amazing really, that you are
able to do such a great job, year after year, in parallel with your other
duties, both as a mom and an active volunteer worker!
So Joanne, on behalf of everyone I want to express my sincere thanks
to you for all that you do to assemble and entertain us during the holiday
season. You really are the glue that holds our extended family together!

With love and admiration,

John

Our Complex Relationship With Technology

Julian Stodd

(1) I woke this morning to an angrily vibrating phone, on fire with little
red alerts. My first action on getting up used to be making a cup of tea but
it’s now hijacked by technology. Our relationship with devices is complex:
love or hate, or need and want. In the Social Age, it’s technology that
brings us together, that provides access to communities and facilitates
the discussions we have within them. It enables the formation of wide
collections of loose social ties and the maintenance of increased numbers
of strong and deep ones, whilst also providing access to knowledge. My
first instinct in many situations is to reach for the phone: maps, directions,
email and texts, tuning the guitar or sharing on Facebook, finding out how
to change the oil in the car or book a festival for the summer. I have some
personal views to express my ideas in response to the advancement of
technology.
(2) There are few aspects of life that technology doesn’t touch, but it’s
easy to let the horse lead the cart. We are seeing technology transforming
learning: systems provide infrastructure, media can be easily created to
enhance learning, language itself is translated and transformed, we
capture, share and journal with ease. The learning experience is more
easily quantified, both for individuals and for organisations. But
quantification doesn’t always equate to quality.
(3) It’s all about balance and agility: our ability to learn, to innovate and
be creative, to do things diferently tomorrow from how we did them
yesterday. It means that we should have as much say in things as the
devices we buy and carry around with us. Whilst the features of
technology may connect us ever more closely and ever more vocally,
scheduling, chasing and reprimanding us ever more often, we need to
ensure that underneath it all we are being efective. It should be our
natural behaviours that are being enhanced by the technology, not the
technology forcing us to adapt our behaviours.
(4) We need to recognise that we now live in the Social Age of learning,
where the bywords are agility and engagement, where formal experiences
are less valuable than applied ones, where traditional models of authority
and expertise are subverted by more social methodologies that rely on
communities and sharing. We are in a time of change: change to how
organisations and individuals engage with each other, changes in our
relationship with technology, changes to how we engage within
communities to learn to co-create meaning.
(5) Instead of depending upon lumbering formal technology, needing
unwieldy servers and infrastructure, today’s artisan workers use tablets,
phones and apps to achieve much the same thing. Instead of needing
offices and pot plants, we need WiFi and cofee shops, Dropbox and Skype.
However, it’s the social technology that fits into our lives rather than
requiring us to adapt our lives to suit it. Social technology should give us
access to our communities whilst we are on the move anytime, anywhere.
Because social learning is anchored and grounded in reality making links
back to formal learning, whilst formal learning is always trying to reach
out to meet reality.
(6) Social Technology has to be efortlessly social, or it’s not social at all.
The reason is obvious that large organisations spend so much money on
that field and they fail to meet the needs or expectations of users. They
are built around the requirements of IT teams, compliance teams, learning
teams, but not the people who actually count: the people who use them.

MODUL 1 LA 4
 (1) Use of tobacco products is the nation's deadliest addiction. Smoking
cigarettes is the leading cause of avoidable death in the United States.
More than 400,000 people die prematurely each year from diseases
attributable to tobacco use. The toll of deaths attributable to tobacco use
is greater than the combined toll of deaths from AIDS, car accidents,
alcohol, suicides, homicides, fires, and illegal drugs.

(2) Smoking is the main cause of 87% of deaths from lung cancer, 30%
of all cancer deaths, 82% of deaths from pulmonary disease, and 21% of
deaths from chronic heart disease. Use of smokeless tobacco is a cause of
oral cancer. In a study of women who did not smoke but did use snuf
chronically, the risk for oral cancers was 50 times greater than for
nonusers.

(3) According to a recent estimate by the Office of Technology

Assessment, each smoker who died in 1990 as a result of his or her
smoking, on average, would have lived at least 15 additional years if a
non-smoker. For the population at large, this premature mortality
translates into 6 million years of potential life lost each year.

(4) It is difficult, of course, to calculate a dollar value for the human

costs of tobacco-related diseases. The sufering of patients and families
resulting from tobacco-related morbidity and mortality is unquantifiable.
Lost productivity and health care expenditures can be quantified, but the
magnitude of the estimates depends on a variety of theoretical health
care and technical questions, including whether the costs of should be
ofset by the "savings" in social security expenditures and health care
costs not incurred because people died prematurely.

(5) The Office of Technology Assessment put the social cost of smoking
in 1990 at $68 billion. This high-end estimate includes $20.8 billion in
direct health costs, $6.9 billion in lost productivity attributable to smoking-
related disability, and $40.3 billion in lost productivity attributable to
smoking-related premature deaths. Whatever its total magnitude, the
social cost of smoking is substantial. Even based on conservative
assumptions, expected lifetime medical expenditures of the average
smoker exceed those of the average non-smoker by 28% for men and
21% for women. Each year, decisions by more than I million youths to
become regular smokers commit the health care system to $8.2 billion in
extra medical expenditures over their lifetimes.

(6) The nation has a compelling interest in reducing the social burden of
tobacco use. This can be accomplished by preventing people from starting
to use tobacco and by getting users to quit. The premise of this report is
that, in the long run, tobacco use can be most efficiently reduced through
a youth-centred policy aimed at preventing children and adolescents from
initiating tobacco use. Moreover, because the prevalence of tobacco use
among youths has remained stubbornly constant for 10 years, and may
even be rising, a youth-centred prevention policy must be aggressively
implemented if tobacco-related morbidity and mortality are to be
significantly reduced.
