In the past few years, information technology has become increasingly personal and social and has made its presence very much felt. The emergence of wearable computing and other forms of empathic ‘things’ seems a logical further step: even more intimate, more human-oriented, and ubiquitous. There are more and more devices that count our steps, take our blood pressure or measure the indoor temperature, track our location or conversations.
We are witnessing a computer boom in terms of kinds, shapes and sizes – around, on or inside the body – that behave increasingly smart and link up more and more intuitively with man’s extremely personal and natural interface.
In the next decade Personal Computing will become really personal: inside, on and around the person with attention for the context of the individual. In this study we explore this development and present seven manifestations that can define the impact on business, such as the ‘quantified employee’ and the ‘body as the new password’
FTC Internet of Things Report
The report includes the following recommendations for companies developing Internet of Things devices:
build security into devices at the outset, rather than as an afterthought in the design process;
train employees about the importance of security, and ensure that security is managed at an appropriate level in the organization;
ensure that when outside service providers are hired, that those providers are capable of maintaining reasonable security, and provide reasonable oversight of the providers;
when a security risk is identified, consider a “defense-in-depth” strategy whereby multiple layers of security may be used to defend against a particular risk;
consider measures to keep unauthorized users from accessing a consumer’s device, data, or personal information stored on the network;
monitor connected devices throughout their expected life cycle, and where feasible, provide security patches to cover known risks.
Accenture publishes its technology vision annually. It is a distillation of our extensive research over the course of the previous 12 months, the experiences of our research teams and the input of our clients. In it, we outline the emerging technology trends that forward-thinking CIOs will use to position their organizations to drive growth and high performance, rather than just focusing on cost-cutting and efficiency improvements.
Business leaders now accept that their organizations’ future success is bound up with their ability to keep pace with technology. CIOs have to play a key role in helping these business leaders recognize and seize the opportunities enabled by new trends—but the price of progress will have to be paid, along with new risks assumed.
We believe six technology trends will influence business over the next three to five years:
Context-based services. Where you are and what you are doing will drive the next wave of digital services.
Converging data architectures. Successfully rebalancing the data architecture portfolio and blending the structured with the unstructured are key to turning data into new streams of value.
Industrialized data services. The ability to share data will make it more valuable—but only if it is managed differently.
Social-driven IT. Realize that social is not just a bolt-on marketing channel. It will have true business-wide impact.
PaaS-enabled agility. The maturing platform-as-a-service (PaaS) market will shift the emphasis from cost-cutting to business innovation, supporting rapid evolution for business processes that need continuous change.
Orchestrated analytical security. Organizations will have to accept that their gates will be breached and begin preparing their second line of defense—data platforms—to mitigate the damage caused by attacks that get through.
There is no escaping the "bring your own device" trend, but organizations need to chart a middle path to strike a balance between employee freedom and corporate control over technology.

on estas definiciones en claro, podemos introducirnos en el concepto de plataforma virtual, que se emplea en el ámbito de la tecnología. Una plataforma virtual es un sistema que permite la ejecución de diversas aplicaciones bajo un mismo entorno, dando a los usuarios la posibilidad de acceder a ellas a través de Internet.
Esto quiere decir que, al utilizar una plataforma virtual, el usuario no debe estar en un espacio físico determinado, sino que sólo necesita contar con una conexión a la Web que le permita ingresar a la plataforma en cuestión y hacer uso de sus servicios.
Las plataformas virtuales, por lo general, se emplean para la educación a distancia e intentan simular las mismas condiciones de aprendizaje que se registran en un aula. Aunque cada plataforma puede presentar diferentes características, lo habitual es que permitan la interacción de los alumnos entre sí y con los profesores. Para esto, cuentan con diversas vías de comunicación, como chat, foros, etc.
El concepto de plataforma virtual es muy usado en la enseñanza de idiomas a distancia; personas de cualquier parte del mundo pueden estudiar sus lenguas favoritas sin necesidad de realizar grandes inversiones económicas, sin tener que moverse de sus casas y con docentes nativos (una de las mayores ventajas de este sistema educativo).

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.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
