Digital technology adoption and usage varies significantly based on income, education, age, and race. Higher-income, more educated, younger, and white individuals are more likely to use the internet, own a smartphone, download apps, use social networking sites, and engage in mobile banking. For example, over 90% of those with household incomes over $75k use the internet, compared to just 45% of those under $30k. Similarly, 97% of college graduates use the internet versus 45% of those without a high school diploma. Younger generations are also more likely to adopt new technologies like smartphones, with 66% of millennials owning one compared to just 3% of those in the Greatest Generation.

Delvinia Digital Diseases Presentation SmeiDelvinia
Adam Froman identified the six common missteps made by digital marketers that Delvinia calls “digital diseases” which can be found lurking online that wary customers avoid contact like the plague; they are as follows: Widget-it is, Obsessive Content Disorder or OCD, Data-pox, Ad-theria, Mono-typosis and Navigation Deficiency Virus (NDS).
Social media is everywhere and companies and consumers alike are constantly looking for effective ways to utilize online communities, blogs, wikis and the latest social media tools to engage audiences. With more than 300 million people engaged in social media, failing to leverage online mediums is often interpreted as taking a step backwards. It is the age of the consumer and social media has been the catalyst, effectively shifting control from management to the customer. Understanding your customer, giving them a voice and most importantly, listening to what they have to say is key to succeeding in the new digital world.
You will learn:
To effectively engage the audience. Digital marketing and social media in particular is a powerful platform that can create lasting customer relationships and generate millions of dollars for marketers, but you must make things interesting and meaningful.
How to listen to your audience(s). If someone that you do business with offers you advice on improving your business/customer relationship – listen. Maintaining an existing relationship is easier than spending time and money searching for a new one.
To be innovative. The biggest mistake a business can make is not experimenting or developing their digital marketing capabilities. If you’re not doing it, someone else will.
Director Lee Rainie will give the “Networked libraries” speech at the Biblionext conference in Rome, Italy at the "Digital Omnivores: Libraries and New Learning Communities" event.

Still targeting 18-49? What you’re missing may surprise you. (2013)Pamm Foran
Census Bureau data shows that householders are households headed by adults aged 75 and older has grown from 6% in 1960 to 10% this year. And in just 12 years, the share of households headed by 30-44-year-olds plummeted from a peak of 34% in 1990 to just 26% in 2012. The Census Bureau attributes these changes to the aging of the Baby Boomers (born between 1946 and 1964), who control 70% of US disposable income. Indeed, the percentage of households headed by adults aged 45-64 represents a plurality among age demographics, at 39%.
Milwaukee's demographics have shifted as well. The average age of Milwaukee householders in 2013 is up from 2004. Now 55% of Milwaukee adults are age 45 plus, up from 49 % in 2004. Average HHI has also grown 21% over the past 10 years by more than $10K. If you are still targeting the 18-49 demographic, you may want to adjust your target to include more 45+ adults, where more buying power is.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
