The World is Flat
The document discusses how globalization has flattened the world over time. It outlines 10 events from 1989 onwards that allowed the world to become flat again by enabling greater individual collaboration and competition on a global scale. These "flatteners" include the fall of the Berlin Wall, the release of Windows 3.0 and the World Wide Web, the introduction of mainstream web browsers, the establishment of internet standards, the rise of user-generated content, and the creation of Google as a highly effective search engine.
The world is flat thomas friedman
The document summarizes Thomas Friedman's book "The World is Flat" and its description of the stages of globalization: Globalization 1.0 from 1492 to 1800 driven by exploration, Globalization 2.0 from 1800 to 2000 driven by industrialization and developments like railroads and satellites, and Globalization 3.0 from 2000 to present driven by technologies like computers, the Internet, fiber optics, outsourcing, and offshoring that allow more countries and people to connect and collaborate globally in real-time. It also outlines Friedman's "Ten Flatteners" that defined Globalization 3.0, like the fall of the Berlin Wall, Netscape going public, and the rise of digital technologies, wireless networks, and the

Information technology has virtually eliminated the costs of communication through tools like the Internet and email. It empowers people by allowing them to be creative, productive and learn new things, realizing their potential. Developments in information technology and global media mean that even the strongest military can lose a war not through violence but through shaping world opinion.
The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman
The document discusses Thomas Friedman's book "The World is Flat" which analyzes the history of globalization. It describes globalization occurring in three eras, with the third era from 2000 to present being defined by connectivity and software enabling more individuals to collaborate globally. This flattens the world by shrinking it and allowing more diverse people to plug in and compete internationally. Two major flattening forces are described - the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 which led to the rise of personal computers and the internet's launch in 1995, which together created a "Flat World Platform" enabling people anywhere to work together digitally.
Web, Mobile, Social Media, Cross-Media and Education
This document discusses the history and evolution of communication technologies from ancient times to modern cross-media strategies. It summarizes key stages in the Silk Road journey from years via walking to seconds via fiber optics. Current trends highlighted include everything becoming digital, the rise of social and cloud-based networking, and increasing mobile device usage. The document advocates cross-media tactics that integrate multiple channels including print, email, and social media to increase engagement.
The Future of Broadband: Telemedia, Futurist Gerd Leonhard
This document discusses the transformation of technologies and the creation of new demand for information and communication technology (ICT) services. Some of the key points discussed include:
- Social networks are becoming the new cable TV without the cable infrastructure.
- The future of digital technologies is already here in the form of "digital natives" and the growing "networked society".
- Content will continue to be a key driver but it will need to be accessible over different networks and devices.
- New business models will be needed to address issues like piracy and the need for affordable, legal access to content across different platforms and locations.
- The ecosystem of telecommunications, media, advertising and other industries will
L02 A Journey Exploring Technology
For the most time of human history, life was local and linear. Local in the way that anything that happened was close by, a least within a walking distance. Linear in the way that your life was the same as your father and your childs. Nothing changed.
Just like the evolution of man, technology improvements follow an evolutionary progress. New ideas or products are to begin with immature and fragile with slow improvements. Then the progress accelerates until the products become mature and taken for granted. Then the cycle repeats and a new layer of technology is added to the previous. This process is exponential. One such observation of exponential is Moore’s Law.
Any new technology that gets wide acceptance in society needs to be adopted by people. We will explore that type of people are the first to adopt new things, and what types come later.
At any given moment it is easy to look back to see how technology has changed over time. At the same time it is difficult to see what transformations are taking place in current moment, and even more difficult to see where things are going.
In the late 19th century a revolution in science took off. It was easy to see the vast number of inventions and entrepreneurial spirit of the time. At the dawn of the 20th century, it seems that everything had been invented. Yet, in the 20th century we saw more innovations and more technologically advanced than in all history of mankind before that. Never in history have we seen such dramatic changes in the way people live and work.
In this lecture we explore what to make of technology. We define the term we will use in the course. Terms defined are technology, product performance, and innovation to name few.

Tom Friedman is a New York Times columnist known for his coverage of the Arab-Israeli conflict. He identified three phases of globalization: Globalization 1.0 from 1492-1800 driven by countries and muscles; Globalization 2.0 from 1800-2000 driven by multinational corporations; and Globalization 3.0 from 2000 onward driven by empowered individuals outside the US and Europe using technologies like the internet. Friedman defined the world becoming "flat" as a global, web-enabled playing field allowing collaboration in real time without regard to geography.

Semper Flexibilis
The document discusses how technology has revolutionized the way generations interact and do business. The older generation grew up playing outside, while the younger generation uses technology like game consoles. Ten major 21st century events, like the rise of the internet, have flattened the global business environment. Project Titan aims to introduce new tablet technology but must manage change for traditional agricultural workers. The only constant is change.
Special Report - The World Is Flat
Thomas Loren Friedman is an American journalist and author known for writing on foreign affairs and globalization. In his book "The World Is Flat", Friedman argues that 10 forces have converged in recent decades to flatten the global economic playing field. These forces include the fall of the Berlin Wall, the rise of the internet and technologies like Netscape, outsourcing, offshoring, supply chaining, and wireless networks. Friedman asserts that the combination of these 10 forces, along with complementary software, internet proliferation, and developing countries opening their markets, created perfect conditions for the rapid globalization seen today.
Tv Multiplatform. The Interactive Audiovisual Narrative In A Transmedia World
The document discusses the evolution of audiovisual narratives and their distribution across multiple media platforms, referred to as transmedia storytelling. It explores how convergence of media and rise of new technologies has led to audiovisual content being experienced on different levels and distributed everywhere through various devices. It provides an example case study of a transmedia story and concludes that consumers experience audiovisual content through aggregators and mobile devices, leading to new communication formats, more user generated content, and a need for adaptation of audiovisual language.
L05 How Innovation Happens
When innovators try to envision how people will use their product they often have different ideas on what people want. Products that are of superior technology may fail and inferior succeed, only because the inferior product has some features that people are looking for.
In this lecture we look at how new products or technologies get adopted my markets. We look at the Law of Diffusion of Innovation, which explains how this adoption happens. We also look at what it takes for a new innovation to move from being a visionary idea to a practical product, or crossing the chasm. Finally we explore the hype cycle.
In this lecture we look at how innovation happens. We look at the slow hunch, the liquid network, and serendipity.
Famous False Predictions about Radical Innovation
This document provides a list of past predictions made by experts that turned out to be incorrect, such as that computers would always be built with tubes, personal computers would not be in homes, the maximum memory size in PCs would be limited, and paper documents would not be replaced by digital. It suggests that listening only to experts can prevent the forecasting of radical innovations, and that new technologies may instead lead to population migration out of cities as people become more autonomous producers.

Three Things About the Big Picture: Demographics, Interfaces, Experiences
The document discusses 3 key aspects of the big picture in media: 1) Demographics and infrastructure show that the "next generation" of users worldwide is increasingly portable, accessing media through multiple devices simultaneously. 2) Interfaces are also multiple as users access content through many different platforms and points of access simultaneously. 3) Experiences are what matters most, not individual platforms, as digital media allows for multi-sensory experiences that can be shared and incorporated into people's everyday lives and journeys in an embodied way.

Interactividade & Participação nos Fluxos Videomusicais
1) The document discusses the difference between interactivity and participation in video music streams. Interactivity refers to direct manipulation of media through technology, while participation refers to social and cultural interactions around media.
2) Interactivity corresponds to the technological characteristics that enable user participation. Video streaming portals have become social networks, integrating interactive video music streams.
3) Examples are given of interactive video music streams that have enabled participatory fan cultures and virtual communities to emerge around collective intelligence and performance.
L04 Adjacent Possible
Technology evolves by exchange of ideas. With speciality began prosperity. After one idea comes another idea, by combining ideas into new ideas. In this lecture we look at the fundamental reason for technological progress and it is similar to that of how species evolve in nature.
At any given time, with all the knowledge we have, new knowledge can emerge. We call this the adjacent possible. It explains why new inventions are invented when they are, and why they are not possible before.
Take away the risk and you can do anything.
This document contains a collection of short quotes, sayings, and passages on a variety of topics including innovation, technology, business, and creativity. It encourages pursuing innovation, getting connected through networks, defining success individually, and protecting business models over technology. It concludes by recommending integrating wireless solutions, incubating data-driven value, implementing interactive experiences, and adapting to changing situations.
NEW MEDIA LECTURE - Swinburne University Radio Students
The document discusses the changing media landscape and the rise of new forms of user-generated content and multi-platform media consumption. It notes that traditional barriers between media like television, radio, print and the web are breaking down and being replaced by a single, multi-platform model. It highlights how the iPod and services like YouTube have disrupted traditional gatekeepers and argues that radio stations need to adapt by providing unique, local content across multiple formats to engage modern audiences.
The world is flat leadership book review
1. Prior to 2000, the ten flatteners operated independently, but then started reinforcing one another, creating a new business model of horizontal collaboration and value interaction.
2. The fall of the Berlin Wall led Russia, India, China, Eastern Europe, Latin America and Central Asia to open their economies, adding their intellectual property to the global marketplace and influencing politics and economics.
3. Individuals are now able to work effectively across borders in small, virtual teams through reinforcement of flatteners like the internet, communication technologies, outsourcing, and offshoring.
WHY TECHNOLOGY CHANGE IS INCREASING FASTER
The document discusses how the pace of technological change is accelerating. It notes that while it takes 30-50 years for a new technology to become ubiquitous, many modern technologies like 3D printing and AI were invented in the 1960s but have now reached mass adoption due to improvements in scale, quality and cost. The document also cites Moore's Law of computing power doubling every two years as a driver of faster change, as well as the commoditization of technologies like networking and computing which has enabled widespread innovation. Overall the document argues that while the rate of new inventions may be steady, the pace of change feels faster due to parallel innovations now bringing older ideas to mass markets.
The Future of the Internet
The outcome of the current debate over Net Neutrality will determine the future of the Internet. Here's why ...
Internet history project
The document provides a brief history of the development of computers and the internet. It discusses how the first programmable computer was created in 1943, the first connection between two computers occurred in 1965, and how initially the internet only allowed communication between two devices but now connects a vast network of computers and devices globally. It also outlines how computers and the internet have transformed everyday life through technologies like email, search engines, and video calling, and how computer viruses originated as practical jokes but now pose serious cybersecurity threats.
Internet of NO Things
Internet of NO things is the point where the internet becomes part of our environment and therefore ceases to be. We think that it is likely that – as soon as in 10-15 years’ time – smartphones and the internet will have disappeared. Its a very different world.

The Internet of Things
The document discusses the increasing connectivity of people and devices through networks and the Internet of Things. It argues that we have transitioned from the Information Age to the Systems Age, where decision-making systems are needed to manage and make sense of the vast amounts of data. The proliferation of connected devices will create enormous networks that can provide transparency and optimize operations in areas like logistics and asset management. However, these complex networks also introduce risks if not properly managed. GE is working on network-based technologies and cognitive systems to help create intelligent networks and distributed decision-making.
Locative Media And Responsive Environments
The document discusses the emergence of ubiquitous and pervasive computing environments enabled by developments in molecular electronics, distributed computing, and standards. It describes a future where billions of tiny computational devices are embedded everywhere in the environment like pigment in paint, making computer networks the basic fabric of daily life.
Monopoly Vs Monopoly
The document discusses a game of Monopoly that was played using a stratified setup based on real US income and wealth distributions to demonstrate the realities of different social classes. Certain pieces like the dog and thimble started with little money and property and remained in debt, while the battleship dominated by owning most of the property. The game showed how social mobility is more difficult when not all players start on an equal financial footing.

Smart cities: how computers are changing our world for the better
Introduction
The world is flat, hot and crowded, as Thomas Friedman says in his last book. Luckily, we can also say that it is getting more and more intelligent. Our world is increasingly interconnected and increasingly able to talk to us: people, systems and objects can communicate and interact with one another in completely new ways. Now we have the means to measure, hear and see instantaneously the state of all things. When all things, including processes and working methods, are intelligent, we will be able to respond to changing conditions with more speed and more focus, and make more precise forecasting which in turn will lead to optimization of future events. This ongoing transformation has given birth to the concept of Smart Cities, cities that are able to take action and improve the quality of life of their inhabitants, reconciling it with the needs of trades, factories, service industries and institutions by means of an innovative and pervasive use of digital technologies.
Linq 2013 Keynote Rory Mc Greal
This document discusses the evolution of open education and mobile learning. It traces the development of open educational resources (OER) from early open online courses in the 2000s to massive open online courses (MOOCs) in the late 2000s. The document also discusses the growth of mobile technologies and increasing global access to the internet, arguing that OER are necessary to support mobile learning as mobile devices become more prevalent. Issues around copyright and digital rights management that can restrict access to educational resources are also examined.
A Genealogy of New Media
In just under 50 years, computers have gone from frightening behemoths to countercultural totems to everyday consumer fashion accessories. The history of new media helps us understand why it is so ideologically powerful today.

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Apps Break Data
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?
Generating privacy-protected synthetic data using Secludy and Milvus
