Let’s Talk About Tech, Baby! How to Talk About Technology Horizontally and V...Miminten
This document provides an agenda for a session titled "Let's Talk About Tech, Baby!" that includes introductions, a poll, and discussions on various tech-related topics such as climate, communication, benefits of tech, failures and risks, and learning from experiences. Attendees are encouraged to provide feedback through text or an online form for a chance to win prizes. Images and quotes are included to help illustrate several discussion points.
This document outlines the history and evolution of photojournalism through key technological milestones from 1840 to present day:
1. The first camera was invented in 1840, allowing people to document history through photographs for the first time.
2. In 1908, the Conley folding camera was used by the Mayo Clinic to document medical specimens and research, representing an early use of photography in journalism.
3. Harold Edgerton's 1930 strobe flash system enabled capturing entire movements in a single photo, benefiting photojournalists seeking to document events.
4. Continued innovations including the first button camera in 1950, first video camera in 1980, first camera phone in 2000, and first waterproof action camera
Innovation is driven by hope and fear. By humans dreaming of a better place.
Emerging technologies are maintaining scale and deflation, accelerating the pace of change, having a profound impact on how societies, institutions, businesses and individuals interact.
Emerging societal, economical and political realities are reshaping how we perceive the future, mapping dynamics closer to those of emerging markets.
Emerging values of trust, openness and nodal relationships are re-structuring the agora, the marketplace of ideas and goods.
The emergence of new identities, facilitated by technologies and enabled by new values, is the new revolution. A peer-to-peer revolution.
Talk given at the Europe Venture Summit, Startup AddVenture, in Kiev, Ukraine, on December 2013.
On a personal note, this is the fourth time I've given a similar presentation, surrounded by an atmosphere of uprising, after Athens, Rio de Janeiro and Bangkok.
The document discusses the future of scientific publishing and how it will evolve with advances in technology. It notes that scientific papers originally involved letters and scarcity of distribution, but the rise of the web allowed the rise of hyperlinked documents. However, scientific publishing has not fully embraced the social aspects of the newer "wave 2" of the web like fragmentation and user-generated content. The document envisions a "wave 3" with a semantic web that better categorizes content and a mobile future that utilizes sensors and new sources of access to information. It remains to be seen how scientific publishing culture will adapt to these technological changes.
The document discusses strategies for mobile game developers on the BlackBerry 10 platform. It recommends focusing on user discovery through the BlackBerry World storefront and Games app, retention through BBM and cross-platform leaderboards and achievements, and monetization through the BlackBerry payment ecosystem and marketing opportunities. Developers are encouraged to create exciting games rather than relying solely on tools and features to succeed on BlackBerry 10.
The document discusses the history of photo manipulation from the 1860s onward. It notes that Edward Steichen stated that no photo is truly impersonal or unmanipulated. It then asks three questions about how Photoshop is used today, the effects of manipulated images, and how they shape beliefs. Several examples are given of manipulated photos, including National Geographic adjusting pyramids and a fake 9/11 photo. Celebrities being digitally altered is also mentioned. Overall, the document covers the long history of photo manipulation and some of its modern impacts.
The document discusses the challenges of designing products in today's environment of rapid technological disruption and change. It notes that the adoption of new technologies is happening at an unprecedented pace, and that users now expect to cocreate and modify products. This shifting landscape requires designers to create more adaptable and loosely defined products that can evolve with input from many actors in the ecosystem. Orchestrating tightly controlled experiences becomes difficult as products spread online and are influenced by diverse perspectives.

Tomorrows smart cities will work like magicRick Robinson
When I was a teenager, I spent my monthly allowance visiting this basement shop in a London Alley near Oxford Street … at the time, it was the only place in the whole of the UK to buy *really* cutting-edge European Death Metal music.
Technology has changed our world so much over the last two decades that my youth seems like ancient history; but over the next two decades, the changes that will become possible as technology develops will be even more striking; and it may even be hard to recognise the way that we interact with our future world as "human behaviour" as we understand it now.
As consumer technologies such as social media, open data and smartphones evolve through the next-generation of "human/computer interfaces", the incredible power of future technology will be put into the hands of individuals and small businesses. By opening up cities' digital infrastructure to them, business and government can help people and cities to help themselves.
The document discusses the rise of mobile devices and their potential for museums. It notes that over half the global population now owns a mobile phone and smartphones are increasingly popular. The document outlines several options for museums to engage mobile audiences, including adapting existing websites, developing separate mobile sites or apps, or creating mobile web apps. It argues that mobile offers opportunities to provide contextual, ubiquitous experiences and engage visitors both on-site and off-site.
The document discusses various topics related to online tools, technologies, and skills, including building online polls and maps, remixing content, location-aware web and mobile technologies, user skills reports, search engine optimization, analytics data, and engaging with collective intelligence on the web. It also references the origins and mission of the Open University to bring degree-level education to those without access to traditional universities through communications technologies.
The document discusses the diversity of mobile devices globally and how this diversity is likely to persist. It notes that while some designers may choose to only design for the newest, most powerful platforms, an inclusive approach is needed to provide accessibility while still ensuring a great user experience across a wide range of contexts, inputs, and users. Context, attention, and usability have changed as mobile devices have become more capable and integrated into more aspects of our lives.
This document discusses the diversity of mobile devices and user experiences globally. It notes that while smartphones have gained popularity in some markets, global smartphone penetration remains only around 23% and the mobile experience varies greatly depending on location, device capabilities, and network infrastructure. This diversity is likely to continue as new platforms and low-cost devices disrupt the market.
1. The document discusses how communicators are utilizing the mobile web to connect with audiences on the go through their cell phones.
2. It explains that the mobile web is a new way of communicating that focuses on context and immediacy over just content.
3. Examples are given of political campaigns and politicians using the mobile web to share information with and stream live to their constituents.
Emerging Trends and Market Opportunities in Storytelling - Columbia New Media...Lance Weiler
This document provides a list of links related to emerging trends and opportunities in new media. Some of the links discuss topics like the Raspberry Pi micro-computer, Arduino open source platforms, interactive storytelling tools, virtual reality headsets like the Oculus Rift, wearable technology like smartwatches and sensor-embedded clothing, 3D printing, and Internet of Things connected home automation devices.

This is the presentation I will use to discuss issues at the NESC 2009 Forum in Canberra. My aim was to use as many images as possible to illustrate ideas. I tried to reduce my use of words and included all the references I drew upon, particularly in regard to Flickr Creative Commons images.
The document discusses delivery strategies for new apps. It covers how IT has evolved from a monopoly controlled by a few organizations to a democratized free market with many options. This disruption has benefits for businesses but is challenging for traditional enterprise IT. The document examines how monopolies were once useful for undertaking large projects but can become problematic by restricting innovation over time. Today, computing power is widely available at low costs, marking a shift from when machines were expensive and humans were cheap.
Human factors explore how humans interact with and use systems, technology, products, and services. The document lists several aspects of human factors to consider, including exploring possibilities with humans and technology, identifying problems, building connections, and considering all components including microchip technology. The document provides a high-level overview of key aspects of human factors and interactions between humans and technology.
This document discusses innovation and the difficulty of predicting the future. It makes three key points:
1) Experts and analysts are often unable to accurately predict new technologies and market shifts. The success of companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter showed that experts failed to foresee the importance of social media and mobile.
2) Large, established companies tend to focus on incremental improvements to existing markets and products, rather than disruptive innovation. True innovation often comes from startups and entrepreneurs who invent new markets and disrupt existing industries.
3) It is difficult but important to maintain an open and optimistic mindset about innovation and the future. Rapid technological changes will continue to accelerate, so adaptability and a willingness to embrace
This document discusses emerging technologies and their implications. It begins by defining technology broadly as anything created by humans to be useful. Three scenarios are then presented: 1) A future with swarms of tiny drones equipped with cameras, allowing unprecedented surveillance capabilities. 2) An intelligent urban environment where infrastructure and personal devices work together to continuously provide guidance. 3) Democratization of manufacturing through 3D printing, which could enable individuals to make weapons or other regulated objects at home. The document argues that connecting emerging technologies reveals both promising and concerning potential futures.
Shift to the future – the technological disruption of learning and work - cio...Brian Kuhn
We live in unprecedented times... technology is disrupting learning and work as we know it. Machines are taking over more and more jobs and we need to be preparing this generation for a very uncertain unpredictable rapidly changing world. Education needs to shift to a world of abundant knowledge, leveraged through networks, and knowledge engines. CIO's need to be futurists and guides for their organizations to lead them forward into the future.
This document discusses various fears related to computer technology. It covers fears about information technology like cyber fraud and leaked intelligence. It also addresses fears about industrial technology like job loss from automation. Experimental technologies like the Large Hadron Collider and hypothetical future technologies involving nanotechnology and artificial intelligence are also discussed. The document examines how weapon technologies have advanced and become more powerful over time, raising fears about future weapons.
Open Source and The Global Disruption Of Telecom: What Choices Will We Make?Dan York
I gave the opening keynote at AstriCon 2015 in Orlando on Oct 14, 2015. You can read more at:
http://www.disruptivetelephony.com/2015/09/keynote-at-astricon-on-oct-14-open-source-and-the-global-disruption-of-telecom-what-choices-will-we-make.html
and
http://www.asterisk.org/community/astricon-user-conference/sessions/keynote-address-open-source-and-global-disruption
The abstract is:
There is a battle raging for the global future of telecommunications and the Internet. Taking place in networks, board rooms and legislatures, the battle will determine how we all communicate and what opportunities will exist. Will telecom support innovation? Will it be accessible to all? Will it give us the level of security and privacy we need to have the open, trusted Internet? Or will it be restricted and limited by corporate or government gatekeepers?
The rise of voice-over-IP has fundamentally disrupted the massive global telecommunications industry, infrastructure and policies. Open source software such as Asterisk has been a huge driver of that disruption and innovation.. but now what? What role do platforms such as Asterisk play in this space? And what can be their role in a telecom infrastructure that is now mobile, increasingly embedded (Internet of Things) and more and more using proprietary walled gardens of communication?
Join the Internet Society's Dan York in an exploration of what the future holds for telecom infrastructure and policy - and how the choices we make will determine that future.
If your job is to make things for the web, and the company you work for doesn’t build fitness trackers, or robots, or smart light bulbs, or a cloud service that aims to connect all these things, you could be forgiven for not caring all that much about today's Internet of Things. My aim with this talk is to shift the conversation away from things and back to people. In doing so, I hope to also arm you with tools to better understand, and find your place, within this complex but fascinating landscape.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
