“…The concept of the Internet of Things was first introduced in 1999 at the International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking in the United States: "sensory networks are the development of humanity, in the coming years" [2]. Therefore, the concept of the Internet is planned: the use of wireless communication technologies such as RFID (Internet of Things) to connect everything in the world to the Internet on the basis of the Internet, fully intelligent characters, and the exchange of information products [3].…”

In order to better improve students’ English performance and adapt to the progress in the age of science and technology faster, the author proposes an online English teaching system method based on Internet of Things technology. The author studies the English SPOC teaching mode and constructs a multimedia teaching system based on the Internet of Things technology, improve the teaching system, and improve and learn the teaching mode, to achieve the improvement of the quality of English teaching. Experimental results show that under the author’s method, students’ scores on both the written and oral exams are about 10 points higher than those in the traditional teaching method. Conclusion. The online English teaching system based on Internet of Things technology can effectively improve students’ English performance and allow students to better control their own progress.

“…Nusir, Alshirah, and Alghsoon [29] argue that gender, age, education, information technology and communications (IT&C) experience, and monthly income significantly moderate the relationship between perceived ease of use and both social influence and behavioral intention. The role of age and education is also highlighted in the research of Dinu, Lazăr, and Pop [30].…”

The role of social influence (SI) as a determining factor in accepting new technologies has been addressed in several studies using the initial or extended technology acceptance model (TAM). This research uses an adaptation of the extended technology acceptance model (TAM) to analyze the behavioral intention of Romanian consumers regarding the use of energy efficiency smart solutions (EESS) under the effect of social influence. Data were processed with the structural equation modeling technique (PLS-SEM). The sample consisted of 302 domestic electricity consumers in Romania. The study’s findings show that the respondents’ perceptions of the two social influence dimensions—network of friends, colleagues, or family (SI_FF); and public space (SI_PS)—and their effects on other conceptual model variables are significantly different. The main implications highlight that the proposed model addresses social influence on two levels (SI_FF and SI_PS), to highlight not only the differences in users’ perceptions, but also the main directions in which efforts to promote these technologies should be focused more intensively, in the context of implementing European policies regarding the reduction of energy consumption at the level of household consumers. An important component of the proposed model is the analysis of the role of hedonic motivation constructs, expected performance, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use in mediating the relationship between social influence and behavioral intention to use.

The knowledge, perception, and behavior of young people toward ecotourism are important for the sustainable development of this sector. The purpose of this research is to evaluate and analyze the knowledge of young Romanian students about ecotourism and the main ecotourism destinations in Romania, their behavior in relation to the practice of this form of sustainable tourism at the local level in the last 2 years (2020 and 2021), and people’s use of the Internet for planning holidays and digital applications while traveling in nature. A quantitative research was conducted based on a self-administered questionnaire, structured in 13 sections on ecotourism, to which were added the sociodemographic data of the respondents. The conclusions of the research are that young people know well the main ecotourism destinations in Romania; they choose them according to the beauty of the landscape, multitude of outdoor activities, and the hospitality of the hosts. In the last 2 years of the pandemic, young people have visited several times the main existing ecotourism destinations locally, with an average vacation duration of 1–3 days. The Internet remains the main source of information, and in the field, they use mobile applications that allow the download of digital maps and recognize different plant species. By integrating various activities in nature, in close connection with the local culture, ecotourism can contribute to the sustainable use of local tourism resources. This study provides a detailed and realistic picture of the knowledge and the type of ecotourism experience that young people want. The implications are theoretical and managerial, highlighting the importance of assessing the preferences of young ecotourists, as a basis for developing ecotourism strategies, sustainable use of local tourism resources, and management of protected areas.
