Vast amounts of personalized information are now available to individuals. A vital research challenge is establish how people decide what they wish obtain. Here, over five studies examining information-seeking in different domains we show that associated with three diverse motives. Specifically, find participants assess whether useful directing action, it will make them feel, and relates concepts think often. We demonstrate integrate these assessments into a calculation the value explains...
In 2019, the majority of companies used at least one cloud computing service and it is expected that by end 2021, data centres will process 94% workloads. The financial operational advantages moving IT infrastructure to specialised providers are clearly compelling. However, with such volumes private personal being stored in infrastructures, security concerns have risen. Motivated monitor analyze adversarial activities, we deploy multiple honeypots on popular providers, namely Amazon Web...
A large majority of cheap Internet Things (IoT) devices that arrive brand new, and are configured with out-of-the- box settings, not being properly secured by the manufactures, vulnerable to existing malware lurking on Internet. Among them is Mirai botnet which has had its source code leaked world, allowing any malicious actor configure unleash it. combination software assets utilised safely effectively exposing consumers a full compromise. We attacked 4 different IoT using libraries. Our...
Abstract Humans spend on average 6.5 hours a day online. A large portion of that time is dedicated to information-seeking. How does this activity impact mental health? We assess over four studies ( n = 1,145). reveal the valence information sought affects health, which in turn influences sought, forming self-reinforcing loop. quantified text webpages participants chose browse using natural language processing and found browsing more negative was associated with worse health mood. By...
Studies suggest that internally oriented cognitive processes are central to creativity. Here, we distinguish between intentional and unintentional forms of mind wandering explore their behavioral neural correlates. We used a sample 155 healthy adults from the mind-brain-body dataset, all whom completed resting-state fMRI scans trait-level measures wandering. analyzed tendencies using self-report measures. Next, explored relationship creativity, as measured by divergent thinking task....
Humans spend many hours searching for knowledge online. It is imperative to understand how this daily activity impacts well-being. Here, we reveal that the affective properties of sought influences well-being, which in turn alters knowledge-seeking, forming a self-reinforcing loop. We first quantified text on webpages participants (N=947) chose browse and found browsing more negative information was associated with worse mental-health mood. Next, by manipulating browsed measuring mood vice...

Abstract To adjust to stressful environments, people seek information. Here, we show that in response public and private events the high-level features of information online alter, reflecting their motives for seeking knowledge. We first when want guide action they selectively ask “ How ” questions. Next, reveal searches submitted Google increased dramatically during pandemic (controlling search volume). Strikingly, proportion these predicted weekly self-reported stress ~ 17K individuals....
Search engine results often misalign with users' goals due to opaque algorithms, leading unhelpful or detrimental information consumption. To address this, we developed a Google Chrome plugin that provides "content labels" for webpages in search results, assessing Actionability (guiding actions), Knowledge (enhancing understanding), and Emotion. Using natural language processing machine learning, the predicts these properties from webpage text based on models trained participants' ratings,...

To adjust to threatening environments people seek information. Here, we show that under threat (due global or personal circumstances) the high-level features of information online change in a potentially adaptive manner. Specifically, were more likely can guide action, shift was detected from simple analysis web queries. We first when want action they selectively ask “How” questions. Next, reveal searches submitted Google increased dramatically during pandemic relative before (controlling...
Abstract To adjust to novel and threatening environments people seek information. Here, we examine whether how a global event -–the pandemic– altered the characteristics of information sought out online. An analysis queries submitted Google search engine revealed that were more likely submit for could guide action (i.e., “How to” do” searches) during pandemic relative before, controlling total volume. This tendency may have contributed rapid adaptation observed in response pandemic. Indeed,...
