Delivered at Dartmouth for their iLead program, this presentation looks at social networking, quantified self, internet of things and human input as the most important disruptors today.
In 2011 a new app called FourSqure became wildly popular. It allowed people to "check-in" to a location so other could see where you are. This might be a stupid service to provide, but still 55 millions people signed up generating over 6 millions of check-ins. Think about all the data that got created about places and people.
Local is the Lo in SoLoMo, the buzz word. Local is not only about location, it´s also about your digital track record. Over 70% of Netflix users watch the films recommend. Facebook and Google customize the content the provide to you, presumably to create a better user experience. However, there are some problems with filtering too much. We might get stuck in a bubble and never exposed to new ideas.
Everything we do is tracked, creating digital footprint. Mining data to understand people´s behaviour is getting to be a huge and valuable business. Advertisers see opportunities in getting direct to their target groups.
Ethics in development of Information TechnologyAnKit Mhatre
When people are asked to give their opinion about technology as a whole, they seem to think in a more of a black-and-white way, a binary approach. Many people express that technology is more of a ‘job-destroyer’, ‘something which enslaves humans by making them dependent on itself’, some also say that it ‘makes us lazy and equips us with God-ly powers’, etc. However, in contrast to these points, other people claim that it’s ‘something which induces progress into the society’, ‘something that saves human lives and feeds the starving and the poor’, ‘which increases the standard of living’, and ‘which creates interesting and rewarding jobs’.
Speaking about the development, we, as people who are studying Information Technology, have learnt that the enormous field of Internet of Things (IoT) focusses on developing internet-connected applications which will make our lives easier and comfortable. In addition to the principles and practices which are expected to be followed during the development of the applications, there are some lesser emphasized facts too. These facts include an important factor of ETHICS.
Humans are accustomed to follow some ethics right from our birth, rather we are induced these ethics by our elders. The reason is quite simple – for the betterment of the society and to avoid any evil exploitation of the lesser intelligent people. However, modern capitalism tends to bend the traditional ethics. People resort to ease and comfort over what is right.
A lot of subtopics fall under the wide section of Ethics. They include:
1. Characterizing the Internet of Things
2. Privacy (Of the users as well as their valuable data)
3. Control (Who actually controls the collected data)
4. Environment (Concerns about the environment and practices)
5. Solutions (for the preservation of the principle of Ethics)
In this slide show, we are going to emphasize on the initial couple of topics.
CIO Transformation Live - opening keynote - reframing the digital transformat...David Terrar
My opening session for Trafford Associates CIO Transformation Live event on 20 March 2019. I introduce the digital disruption and VUCA oriented business landscape that we are dealing with and argue that we are talking too much about technology, and not enough about business outcomes and real value. I propose reframing the Digital Transformation conversation in 5 steps - Encourage good behaviour, Think holistically, Be agile, Build a social network, Create your transformation story. Check out the slides for more detail.
What does the world look like in the year 2025? Digital living evangelist, Lindsay Smith, explores the communications and technology journey that has revolutionized the 21st century.
Are you ready for the changes that will come in this lifetime?
Over a billion and a half people signed up for Facebook. This site the most used site for people when using the Internet. People are not watching TV so much anymore - they using Facebook, Youtube and Netflix and number of popular web sites.
Some people denote their time working for others online. What drives people to write an article on Wikipedia? They don´t get paid. Companies are enlisting people to help with innovations and sites such as Galaxy Zoo ask people to help identifying images. And why do people have to film themselves singing when they cannot sing and post the video on Youtube?
In this lecture we talk about how people are using the web to interact in new ways, and doing stuff.
Connected World 2019 - chair's opening commentsDavid Terrar
My slides setting the scene for the Connected World Summit 2019 an event covering Emerging Technology for Smart Cities, Connected Places & Tomorrow's Digital World. I covered how we live in exponential times. There has never been a time of greater promise of greater peril. We are dealing with a digital enterprise wave that, with AI, 5G, IoT and Blockchain is turning in top a Digital Tsunami. We are creating data faster than ever, but watch the numbers game and make sure you get your facts and ideas straight. Just like the parable of the 6 blind men and the elephant, everyone sees the connected world topic differently.
Taming Context in the Internet of ThingsWebVisions
As we continue to stitch our physical world together with digital information, context is becoming harder to manage and understand. Everything we do or buy is potentially connected to everything else, complicating the meaning of our everyday actions. How do we insure that the networked "things" we put into the world make sense as part a human environment? The answers have less to do with the devices we make than with the way people perceive and comprehend their surroundings.
Using everyday examples and practical models, this talk shows how we can figure out the contextual angles underlying the experiences of your product's or service's users and customers.

What is the future like? Can we predict the future? Doing so is not easy. Even if you have some ideas on how things are developing, convincing others is not easy.
However, there are some clear signs that can tell us what are the next big industries. We are now in the digital age and real time software is causing dramatic transformation of industries.

The Internet of Things (IoT for Beginners Guide)Ashish Kumar
You might have heard plenty of jargons related to the internet, but the one that has become a buzzword recently and is broken into the mainstream as potentially the most significant term for the way we communicate, work and live in the near future is: The Internet of Things (IoT). Today, everyone is talking about the Internet of Things (IoT) from the newspaper to tech blogs. But what, exactly, is the IoT for beginners? Let’s find out. For more details visit: https://goo.gl/qT4LYA
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an umbrella term which covers a broad repertoire of sensors, applications, technologies, and use cases as they are enabled by the network of objects and devices with an IP address (Internet Protocol). Smart locks, smart cars, smart security system, smart thermostats, and smart health monitor are some of the examples of The Internet of Things (IoT) you’ve probably heard recently, and you’re going to hear more as the year progresses.
George konstantakis iot and product design360mnbsu
The Internet of Things (IoT) may be at the core of the next Industrial Revolution! The socioeconomic implications of IoT, in general, are astounding. As with all disruptive technology, there are threats and opportunities that must be understood by business leaders. How do these implications relate to the needs of manufacturing businesses and the human resources that are intertwined with them? How can Product Design address those needs? This closing session will explore these questions and offer solutions.
APD along with partners IBM and Australia Post, hosted ‘Best of the Next’, an event which brought industry leaders and clients together to discuss innovation in the face of digital disruption, and what businesses can do to capitalise on these trends.
The topics discussed by APD’s own Chief Transformation Officer, Inês Almeida and CEO, Scott Player included:
• Artificial Intelligence: Hopes and Fears in Perspective
• The Impact of 5G and Greater Connectivity

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
