The document discusses the rise of networked individualism and its consequences. As societal forces weaken group boundaries and connectivity increases, people are building social networks rather than belonging to tightly bound groups. This has consequences for entrepreneurs, who now operate in a creative ecology where ideas are shared and feedback is important, and who must market in a social media environment where word of mouth and social networks are influential. The constant connectivity brought about by mobile devices and wireless technology is also changing how information flows and is accessed.
The document discusses the concept of a "second digital divide" where there are inequalities in how people use the internet based on factors like class, race, and gender. It provides an example study that found suburban middle-class white students were more likely to use instant messaging while inner-city black students from low-income families were more likely to use MySpace. This suggests the traditional social divides also exist online.
The document summarizes the results of an expert survey on the future of the internet conducted by the Pew Internet Project. Some of the key findings from the survey include:
- Experts believe that by 2020 innovative online cooperation will result in more efficient and responsive institutions compared to traditional 20th century models.
- A majority of experts do not believe that internet use will lower human intelligence and think tools like Google will enhance access to information and make people smarter.
- Experts think the most imaginative new technologies and applications in 2020 will be difficult to predict today and could emerge unexpectedly.
The group studied the digital divide in Tempe and Phoenix through interviews and surveys. They found that most people, especially younger people, have access to the internet and technology. While cost was a barrier for some, they determined the area was not severely affected by the digital divide due to proximity to a college and large cities. The study concluded the divide has lessened over time but differences remain between older and younger generations in comfort with technology.
The document defines key terms related to information and communication technology (ICT) and the digital divide. It discusses debates around prioritizing ICT development, both criticisms and arguments in support. United Nations Millennium Development Goals related to ICT access are outlined. The document explores how ICTs can support education, health, small and medium enterprises, and governance. It analyzes dimensions of the digital divide and importance of closing the gap, proposing strategies to increase access and relevance of ICTs.
The document discusses the digital divide, which refers to the gap between those who have access to modern information and communication technologies (ICTs) like the internet, and those who do not. It notes that while access to ICTs has spread rapidly in industrialized countries, the growth has been uneven in developing nations. This can further widen socioeconomic divides. Some key points made include that over 40% of people live on less than $2 per day, making basic internet access unaffordable, and that disparities exist between countries in areas like number of scientists and engineers, which influence technological development. The true significance of the digital divide is its potential economic effects, as access to ICTs and information is increasingly important
The internet has evolved greatly since its inception and now plays an integral role in consumers' everyday lives. It has given both consumers and businesses more freedom to access and share products and information. While there are some negatives like privacy and security concerns, the benefits of the internet outweigh these, as it allows easy research, communication, and online shopping. As technology continues advancing, the internet will likely influence consumers and businesses even more in the future.
Pew Internet Director Lee Rainie was honored to give the Joe Pagano Memorial Web Analytics Lecture for the federal government’s Webmanager University. He discussed the latest Pew Internet data about the triple revolution in technology – in broadband, in mobile, and in social networking – and how these changes affect e-government and e-health activities by citizens. He also explored how these changes impact the broader environment of civic life and some of the changes that are likely on the horizon.

This document discusses the evolution of technology and access to the internet over time. It begins by describing how the internet was originally developed for data transmission between US government computers in the 1960s. Standards were established in 1983 allowing different networks to connect as a "whole" internet. Access expanded dramatically in the following decades as personal computers and mobile devices became more widespread and affordable. Today over 4.5 billion people use the internet for activities like online shopping, social media, and streaming videos. However, barriers still exist for some due to costs, remote locations, literacy levels, and lack of relevant content in their languages.
The document provides an overview of the evolution of digital technology and its impact on people's lives. It discusses how the internet originated in the 1960s and was popularized by J.C.R. Licklider. ARPANET was then created as the first prototype of the internet. In the 1990s, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, allowing access to hyperlinked documents. Nowadays, internet access is widespread and influences both communication and society. The number of internet users and connected devices continues to grow each year. People regularly search for information online using search engines like Google, and also engage in online video consumption and ecommerce. Emerging technologies are constantly changing consumer behaviors and trends.
COVID-19 has put aside lots of children way from shcool. They need internet access to conintue their education. Government and Big Tech companies need to find a solution for 1.7 billion children without internet.
The document discusses three revolutions in the digital landscape: 1) the rise of the internet and broadband, 2) the growth of wireless connectivity and cell phones, and 3) the rise of social networking. It then outlines three upcoming upheavals: 1) changes in gadgets and interfaces with voice control and wearable devices, 2) the merging of the virtual world with the real world through augmented reality and virtual worlds, and 3) the exponential growth of data and the "internet of things." Finally, it discusses some of the implications of these changes such as constant connectivity altering social patterns and the proliferation of information sources and intermediaries.
The document discusses the digital divide, which is the gap between individuals and societies with regards to their access to and use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). It notes several types of digital divides, including socioeconomic divides, urban/rural divides, and international divides. It provides statistics on internet access and usage rates in various countries and populations to illustrate these divides. It discusses some of the barriers to access and initiatives being taken by governments and organizations to help bridge the digital divide, including improving infrastructure, increasing access points, developing skills, and ensuring relevant online content. The conclusion emphasizes that technology alone will not bridge the divide and that education is also needed to equip people with the ability to use technologies.
Digital Divide & Digital Inequality PresentationTravis Kench
This document discusses the digital divide and digital inequality. It defines the digital divide as the gap between those who have access to computers and the internet versus those who do not. Digital inequality refers to socioeconomic factors like income, age, education, and location that limit technology access. It provides statistics on global internet and broadband access and adoption to demonstrate the gaps. It also discusses factors contributing to the digital divide like infrastructure costs, deregulation, and the lack of universal service fund support for broadband. Potential solutions discussed include increasing community access points, partnering with libraries, and providing technology training.
The Evolution of the Internet PresentationFrancescaCook6
The evolution of the internet has transformed how consumers use technology and access information. Over the past few decades, internet access has grown exponentially from 0.04% of the world in 1995 to billions of users today accessing the internet through various digital devices like mobile phones, laptops, and tablets. This widespread access has changed consumer behaviors by enabling people to research products online through search engines before making purchases. It has also increased online video consumption and online shopping, where consumers can now purchase almost any item over the internet. As technology continues to advance, it will drive even more changes to consumer trends and a more digital-centric lifestyle.
The document discusses the digital divide, which refers to the gap between those who have access to computers and the Internet, and those who do not. The digital divide is related to three types of capital: social, knowledge, and human. Lack of digital access prevents the development of social networks and communication, access to online education, and the ability to enhance skills. Potential solutions proposed include providing free Internet access in public places and schools, as well as subsidized broadband and devices for low-income households.
The document discusses the digital divide, which refers to the gap between those with and without access to digital technology. It provides examples of programs aiming to bridge this divide, such as One Laptop Per Child that provides computers to developing countries. While the U.S. was once a leader in broadband access, it has fallen behind countries that provide faster, cheaper internet. Initiatives like low-cost computers and training programs seek to promote digital literacy and accessibility.

A presentation about definition, extent and reasons for digital divide, impact of the web and attempts to bridge the digital divide. I gave this speech in my ESL class at Portland State University in December 2008
The document discusses the gender digital divide, which refers to unequal access rates between males and females to computers and the internet. It explores several factors that contribute to this divide, such as gender roles socialized from a young age steering females away from STEM fields. While female internet access rates have increased in some areas, the gender digital divide persists in issues like online pornography and cyberstalking deterring women. To address this, governments must work to provide all females with access to information communication technologies.
The document discusses the digital divide in India. It defines the digital divide as the gap between those who have access to computers and the internet versus those who do not. In India, the digital divide exists between rural and urban areas, as well as between socioeconomic classes. The government has launched several initiatives under its Digital India program to bridge the digital divide, such as expanding broadband access, increasing mobile penetration, developing digital literacy programs, and increasing e-governance services. However, the digital divide in India still poses challenges to the country's economic growth and global competitiveness. Efforts are needed to expand access to ICT for rural and lower-income populations.
This document discusses the digital divide in the United States and worldwide. It is divided into several sections that cover the digital divide among socioeconomic groups, in rural areas, based on age, in third world countries, developing countries, and developed countries. Key points made include that low-income Americans, African Americans, Hispanics, and disabled individuals have less access to broadband. Rural areas also have less access and choice for high-speed internet. Developing countries have the largest gaps in internet access and participation in the digital economy.

Use it or lose it : evidence based librarianship and resource management in r...UCD Library
This document discusses how the UCD Library used an evidence-based approach to make budget cuts to subscriptions during a time of recession. Key points:
1. The library faced a 12% budget cut and 10% reduction in subscriptions. They gathered quantitative usage data and rolled out a decision-making tool to help staff make evidence-based cancellation decisions.
2. For the Business and Law Library service, the question was not whether to cancel but how to assist schools. They identified duplicative titles and provided transparency around proposed cancellations to promote discussion with academics.
3. The process built skills in using management information systems, created frameworks for future projects, and improved school-library relationships while highlighting existing resources.
Collaborative learning environments : the UCD experience. Author: Peter HickeyUCD Library
Delivered at the Irish Universities Information Services Colloquium (IUISC) 'Enhancing Services through Communication and Collaboration' held on March 5 – 7, 2007, Cavan, Ireland
In this talk, Bart Caylor, President of Caylor Solutions, will discuss how to leverage web analytics such as Google Analytics and other popular tools to better understand how users are engaging with your website and digital assets and to predict and anticipate their needs and improve the website conversions. There will also be discussion about the future of Big Data and how new business tools could be adapted to the higher ed admissions process.
The liver is organized into lobules centered around branches of the hepatic vein. Between the lobules are portal triads containing branches of the bile duct, portal vein, and hepatic artery. Hepatocytes within the lobules perform many metabolic functions. Liver disorders can result from infections, drugs, toxins, ischemia, autoimmune issues, or postoperative issues. Postoperative liver dysfunction may occur without preexisting liver disease due to ischemia or anesthesia and usually resolves, but can worsen preexisting conditions like hepatitis.
The document discusses trends in web 2.0 and how higher education institutions should adapt their practices. It notes that communication will speed up as people have constant access through various devices. Prospective and current students will expect personalized, accessible content and services. Parents and alumni will want more flexible and informed interactions. Institutions should utilize social networking, mashups, direct communications and mobile access to engage constituents and build relationships in this new "web lifestyle".
The document discusses trends in web 2.0 and how higher education institutions should adapt their practices. It notes that communication will speed up as people have constant access through various devices. Prospective and current students will expect personalized, accessible content and services. Parents and alumni will want more flexible and customized access to information on their terms through digital options. Institutions should utilize social networking, mashups, direct communications and mobile access to engage constituents in a more personalized, consumer-centric manner.
This document discusses trends in web 2.0 and their implications for higher education. It outlines how communication, access to information, and student/parent/alumni expectations will change due to increased internet access and use of mobile devices. Prospective students will demand more personalized communication and current students will expect greater customization and digital access both on and off campus. Parents and alumni will also want more flexible digital communication and involvement options. The document recommends that higher education institutions update their communication strategies and services to align with these emerging "web lifestyle" trends.
The document discusses several topics related to connecting and surviving the digital divide:
1. It outlines how Web 2.0 tools like blogs, social networks, and content sharing platforms have created a new knowledge paradigm where value is created through collaboration and connectivity. Those who do not embrace these changes may become isolated.
2. It examines how different generations have varying levels of digital literacy and expectations of how technology should be used. This creates challenges for organizations with multigenerational workforces.
3. It notes that while online consultation can increase participation, barriers like age, income, and skills still contribute to a "digital divide." Not all groups are equally able to engage through digital means alone.
Digital technology refers to advanced information and communication technologies used to collect, store, analyze, and share data across product value chains. Examples include websites, e-commerce, smartphones, social media, and cloud computing. Both positive and negative impacts of digital technology on learning and society are discussed. The document also examines internet access and usage trends over time, popular digital devices, online shopping and video consumption patterns, and how technology has changed consumer behavior and daily life in recent years.
The document discusses customer relationship management (CRM) and how it has evolved with the rise of social media and more informed, connected customers. CRM used to focus on moving customers through a sales funnel, but now emphasizes engaging with customers through conversations on social platforms. Effective CRM requires listening to customers, responding to their needs, and providing value through collaborative, trusted discussions across online and offline channels.
The document discusses how digital technology and internet access has changed over time and impacted consumers. It notes that global internet users increased from less than 1% of the population in 1995 to 46.1% in 2016. Fiber optic cables have replaced slower copper wires, increasing internet speeds. Today's consumers are heavily engaged with digital devices like smartphones, accessing the internet daily for information, communication, entertainment and online shopping. Popular online activities include social media usage, video consumption which averages 70 minutes per day, and e-commerce, with clothing being a top online purchase. As technology evolves rapidly, modern consumers are defined by their constant connectivity through portable devices.
The document discusses lifespan communication in computer-mediated communication (CMC) across four age groups: children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly. It explores how each group uses and interacts with technology differently based on developmental stages and social/cultural expectations. Key topics covered include the impact of computers on child development and social skills, how teenagers primarily use CMC for socializing online, differences in adult CMC usage based on age and life stage, and misconceptions about elderly engagement with computers and the internet.

The Sophisticat, the Elephant, and the Secret of the Digital Native - By Arth...RAMP Group
The document summarizes key findings from research into digital usage among youth in South Africa. It identifies two main segments - "Sophisticats" and "Elephants" - who account for a large share of mobile spending. While private school youth showed high levels of digital skills, township youth generally had lower levels of skills due to lack of support structures. The research also revealed that digital adoption is driven more by peer influence than by age, challenging the idea that today's youth are "digital natives". It calls on businesses to incorporate digital peer learning into their models to drive adoption.

While private school youth showed high levels of digital skills, township youth generally had lower skills levels due to lack of support structures. The research also revealed that digital adoption is driven more by peer influence than by age, challenging the idea that today's youth are "digital natives".
Communication Technology For Lifespan CommunicationD.J.Mann
The document discusses how different age groups interact with and use communication technology differently. Children are introduced to technology at a young age through games and educational software but are limited in what they can access. Teenagers and young adults are heavy users of social media and messaging for social and academic purposes. Adults use technology for education, social networking, shopping, and potentially gaming. Elderly users turn to the internet for hobbies, news, and social connection to reduce isolation, though they make up a small percentage of users. The needs and experiences of each group vary due to factors like life stage and available free time.
Universities in 2020: A Technology Perspective by Lee RainieGardner Campbell
The document discusses how technology will transform universities by 2020. It outlines several major shifts including (1) changing information ecosystems for networked learners due to ubiquitous connectivity and social media, (2) new literacies becoming required to navigate these environments, and (3) big data and the "internet of things" leading to an "exaflood" of information. It suggests universities will need to adapt to students being more self-directed learners who capture diverse inputs and rely on feedback from their networks.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
