A moda terminal
Já declararam o fim da memória, da escrita, da
pintura, da fotografia, do teatro, do rádio, das ferrovias,
da História e já anunciaram até que o mundo ia se
acabar. Todos os que previram esses desfechos
5 chegaram ao fim antes. Agora, a moda é decretar que
o jornalismo está terminando (e o livro também). Citam
importantes jornais do mundo como alguns dos veículos
com sérias dificuldades financeiras. Reconheço que
há argumentos respeitáveis e indícios preocupantes.
10 Mas vamos relativizar o pânico. No Brasil, por
exemplo, nos dois últimos anos, a circulação dos
diários cresceu. Em 2007, enquanto a expansão
mundial não passou de 2,5%, aqui foi de 11,8%.
Desconfio muito das antecipações feitas por
15 um mundo que não conseguiu prever nem a crise
econômica atual. Além do mais, nunca uma nova
tecnologia de comunicação eliminou a anterior. Com
o advento da escrita – para citar a primeira dessas
transformações – acreditava-se que, por desuso, a
20 memória iria desaparecer. Dispondo de um suporte
mecânico para registrar suas experiências, o homem
não usaria mais a cabeça. Para que decorar, se era
possível guardar tudo em forma de letrinhas? (a última
especulação no gênero é a de que o Google vai tornar
25 inúteis arquivos e bibliotecas).
Antes se dizia que a “civilização visual” (a TV)
iria abolir a “civilização verbal”. Uma imagem vale mais
que mil palavras, repetia-se, esquecendo-se de que só
se diz isso com palavras. Agora se afirma, veja a ironia,
30 que a Internet veio salvar a escrita que a TV estava
matando. De fato, nunca se escreveu tanto quanto hoje,
pelo menos em e-mails. A onipresença desse universo
on-line passou então a funcionar como uma espécie de
pá de cal sobre o jornal. Só que a Internet ainda precisa
35 da confirmação e do endosso do “impresso”, de seu
prestígio e credibilidade. Os blogueiros sérios que me
perdoem, mas a rede não é confiável (ainda bem, para
Veríssimo e Jabor, pelo que costumam atribuir a eles
ali). Uma vez, um site noticiou que eu tinha morrido.
40 Houve controvérsia, mas eu só não morri mesmo
porque a notícia não saiu nos jornais.
Por tudo isso, é provável que, em vez de
extermínio, haja convergência e convivência de mídias,
como já está ocorrendo. Muitos dos blogs e sites mais
45 influentes estão hospedados em jornais e revistas.
VENTURA, Zuenir. O Globo – 14 fev. 2009. (com adaptações)
Pelas previsões citadas no 2º parágrafo do texto, estaria reservado à memória, aos arquivos e às bibliotecas um destino comum: tornarem-se

Analisando-se os gráficos, foram feitas as informações a seguir.
I - Mais de 50,0% da variação em Y é explicada pela relação linear entre Y e a variável X 2.
II - A relação linear entre Y e a variável X 3 explica 53,2% da variação em Y.
III - A variação de uma unidade em X 3 provoca um aumento de 8,69 unidades em Y.
IV - O coeficiente de correlação linear entre as variáveis Y e X 3 é maior do que entre Y e X 2.
Estão corretas APENAS as afirmações
O Coeficiente de Correlação Linear de Pearson entre os desempenhos de determinados alunos em duas avaliações nacionais é igual a 0,844. Nesse caso, conclui-se que a proporção da variabilidade nos resultados de uma das avaliações explicada pela relação linear entre elas é

How to dig out from the information avalanche
Majority of workers feel overwhelmed by deluge of data, survey finds
By Eve Tahmincioglu

Don’t expect Shaun Osher, the CEO of Core Group
Marketing in New York, to answer your e-mail right away.
He has stopped responding to e-mails every minute and
only checks his e-mail account twice a day. He also started
5 turning off his BlackBerry during meetings.
This tactic has made him so much more productive
that earlier this year he held a meeting with his staff of 50
and “strongly suggested” that they stop relying so heavily
on e-mail and actually start calling clients on the phone.
10 And, he requested his employees put cell phones and
PDAs on silent mode during meetings, as well as curtail
the common practice of cc-ing everybody when sending
out an e-mail. “There was so much redundancy, so much
unnecessary work,” he explains. “One person could handle
15 an issue that should take two minutes, but when an email
goes out and five people get cc-ed, then everybody
responds to it and there’s a snowball effect.”
It’s not that Osher has anything against technology. In
fact, he loves it. The problem is, last year he realized he
20 was inundated with so many e-mails and so much
information in general that he began to experience data
overload. “In the beginning, e-mail and all this data was a
great phenomenon, revolutionizing what we do. But the
pendulum has swung way too much to the other side,” he
25 maintains. “We’re less productive.”
Osher isn’t the only one out there under a data
avalanche. Thanks to technological innovations, you can
be talking to a customer on your cell phone, answering a
LinkedIn invitation on your laptop, and responding to email
30 on your PDA all at the same time. Besides, during
tough economic times, who will want to miss any
information when your job could be on the line if you indulge
in the luxury of being offline? Turns out, seven out of 10
office workers in the United States feel overwhelmed by
35 information in the workplace, and more than two in five
say they are headed for a data “breaking point,” according
to a recently released Workplace Productivity Survey.
Mike Walsh, CEO of LexisNexis U.S. Legal Markets,
says there are a host of reasons we’re all on the information
40 brink: “exponential growth of the size of the information
‘haystack,’ the immensity and immediacy of digital
communications, and the fact that professionals are not
being provided with sufficient tools and training to help
them keep pace with the growing information burden.”
45 ___ Ellen Kossek, a professor from Michigan State, believes
we are less productive in this age of 24-7 technology, and
our multitasking mentality has spawned a “not-mentallypresent”
society. “We’re becoming an attention-deficit
disorder society switching back and forth like crazy,”
50 Kossek says. “We’re connected all the time. We’re
working on planes, in coffee shops, working on the
weekends. Work is very seductive, but yet we’re actually
less effective.”
The key to getting your head above the data flood,
55 according to workplace experts, is managing and reducing
the information you’re bombarded with.
